True Georgia (75 days)—The most popular variety. Vigorous plants withstands heat 
and adverse soil conditions. Plants 2-3 feet tall, form loose clusters of tender leaves.

by Purdue University. Well proven in the Pecos Valley after ten years use. Adapted 
to varied conditions and resistant to disease. Sturdy straight stalks are 6 feet tall. 
Uniform ears, 8 inches long, have 10-14 rows. Plant thinly, the suckers will make ears. 
Medium sized, sweet kernals are a rich yellow in color. Good shuck coverage.

A standard late variety that sells or cans well. 
Golden Bantam (79 days)—Still the old favorite with many home and market gar- 
deners. Ears 7 inches long with 8 rows of delicious kernels. One of the sweetest of 
all corns and of best quality. Not as worm resistant as Golden Cross Bantam.

on the ears that average 7 inches long and about 2 inches in diameter. One of the 
richest flavored of all the late varieties. 
GARDEN CORN 
Trucker’s Favorite (82-85 days)—Resistant to ear worms which means much to the 
Pecos Valley where this corn has become popular during the past eleven years. Good 
flavored and remains in roasting ear stage for long time, also used as an early dried 
corn. Stalks are 8-9 feet tall, usually bearing two ears which are 8-9% inches long 
and carry 10-16 rows of tender kernels that are moderately sweet. 
Hickory King (95 days)—A field corn that has been used for many years in the Pecos 
Valley for roasting ears. Will not stand long in roasting ear stage. One of the best 
for meal. 8 rowed, very large flat kernels and small cob.

divisions. Flat seeds have strong, bitter flavor. The stem and sometimes the seeds 
are used for flavoring, especially in pickles.

soil. One ounce produces 1,500 plants. Excellent quality can be produced in the 
Pecos Valley.

inches tall and produce 4-6 large, dark purple fruit that hold well after picking. 
New York Purple Spineless (83 days)—The spreading plants are 30-36 inches tall and 
bear 4-5 smooth, oval deep purple fruits that are slightly larger than Black Beauty.
