Prof. B. L. Weaver, University of Illinois, originated this Japanese Hulless type which 
seems to mature practically free from smut. Particularly desirable for its high ratio 
of popping volume. 
EARS—Somewhat longer and slightly more slender than Japanese Hulless. 
JAPANESE HULLESS (White) or Australian Hulless CIPFA 85 
A white, small and slender pointed kernelled type, with short stubby ears about 
3!/. inches in length. Numerous irregular rows to zigzag kernel formation on cob.
