CARONIA (Y) HMC CURTZ 80 
Outstanding characteristics are deep, narrow, golden yellow kernels with 
‘tender pericarp. Ears borne 36 inches above the ground on tall, vigorous 
stalks. Its productivity, high ratio of cut corn per ton narrow kernels, and 
adaptation to mechanical harvesting, especially attractive to canners. Very 
promising for use in the Tri-States and Central states canning areas. 
STALKS —7¥ feet tall, uniform, vigorous, very few tillers. Mostly one ear per 
stalk. 
EARS -—29 inches long, 18 to 20 rows, slightly tapered, very large and heavy. 
KERNEL—Golden yellow, deep, narrow, with tender pericarp. Seed yellow, 
wrinkled. 
CORNELIS GOLD RUSH (T. M. Reg. U. S. Pat. Off.) CY) HMSC CHOOP 66 
The one best first-early 
yellow hybrid for the early 
market. Ears fully as large 
as those of Golden Cross 
Bantam and nearly two 
weeks earlier. The combin- 
ation of earliness and beau- 
tiful ears is almost unbe- 
lievable. Its earliness is 
extremely useful to canners. 
Extends their packing sea- 
son by starting as much as 
two weeks earlier, also val- 
uable for late planting to 
avoid the main brood of 
European Corn Borers or to 
make last minute additions 
to acreage. Earliness ex- 
tremely valuable for getting 
on early market and to cut 
down on costly sprayings. 
A favorite with shippers on 
the muck lands of Florida; 
with canners in Canada and 
Northern states; and with 
home and market gardeners 
every where. 
STALKS —6 feet tall, good foliage, sturdy, vigorous, uniform, moderate tillers; 
one good ear per stalk, occasionally two. 
EARS —81%4 inches long, 12 to 14 rowed, nearly cylindrical, well-filled to 
tip, most attractive yellow; tight husk; long attractive dark green 
flags. 
KERNEL—Tender, sweet, of fine quality and flavor. Seed yellow, wrinkled.
