WHITE THOMAS 
A variety well-adapted to south Texas, at one time known as Bissett Corn. Not a heavy 
yielder but has very high shellout percentage. A good variety for milling and for feed; 
preferred by some for roasting ears. Plants tall, ears slender and slightly tapered, with 
good shuck coverage; grain in 16-18 straight rows; creamy white, tight set on cob, long, 
thin, somewhat hard, rough to wrinkle dent; cob very small, white. Not recommended 
for late planting. 130 days 
WHITE TUXPAN 
A variety well adapted to the stiff clay soils of the coastal belt and to irrigated areas of 
the Rio Grande Valley, where it is grown for its good marketable roasting ears of fine 
flavor. Yields well and provides an abundance of silage. Plants very tall, vigorous, prolific 
and strong, with considerable resistance to wind and storm; stalks thick, bearing 1-3 
medium to large ears, slightly tapered, with 14-18 straight rows, husks long, coarse, 
tight fitting. Kernels white, medium sized, somewhat flinty, slightly dented; cob white, 
medium sized. Shellout percentage high. 140 days 
YELLOW DENT, Ferguson type 
The standard Dent for Texas and the Southwest; originated and amever ited in 1907 by 
A. M. Ferguson. Widely adapted; yields are ponsistently good, with high shellout per- 
centage. Highly esteemed for its feeding qualities. Best adapted on bottom land and 
rich upland. There are many locally adapted varieties and strains of Yellow Dent, but 
none so outstanding and widely adapted as the Ferguson type. 125 days

except that grain is yellow and somewhat flinty. Rows of kernels not straight on all ears.
