FELD AND ROASTING EAR CORN 
(For Sweet Corn, See Page 18.) 
Plant 7 pounds (14 peck) per acre or 56 pounds (1 bushel) to 8 acres. 
Kilgore’s field corn seed is grown in isolated fields from the highest yielding pedi- 
greed strains. The most perfect ears are selected, carefully dried and run over a 
large conveyor table, where expert corn pickers throw out every ear that is unsound, 
diseased or off-type. Only large ears with deep grain, straight rows and good tip 
and butt are saved. Each ear is hand-tipped and butted, shelled and carefully 
graded to remove cracked, oversized and undersized grains. 
To increase yields with field corn in Florida two things are essential, namely, 
closer spacing, and ample fertilizer. On good land 18 to 24” spacing in the row is 
best with 400 to 500 Ibs. per acre of a 4-7-5 fertilizer, followed by side dressings of 
Nitrate of Soda up to 300 Ibs. per acre about 5 weeks after planting. 
The number of days indicated after each variety represents the time from seed 
planting to harvest under average spring conditions in Florida.

Due to the drouth this past season, the supply of all varieties 
of Field Corn Seed is very short. 
CUBAN YELLOW FLINT. (96 days.) This special strain is deep rooted, therefore 
can be given closer spacing than other varieties. If given close spacing it will yield 
as much as any prolific corn. From 20 to 25% of the plants will produce two ears. 
Produces larger ears, longer grains, and heavier yields than other strains of this 
variety. Weevil resistant due to the long, tight, heavy and very tough husks. Seed 
is lemon to orange-yellow in color, with about 95% white cobs, 5% red cobs. 
Produces well in extremely wet or dry seasons, and is recommended in all parts of 
Florida where extreme resistance to weevil damage is desired.

Not prepaid. 14 Ibs. (pk.) $1.50; 56 Ibs. (bu.) $5.50 
WHATLEY’S RED COB PROLIFIC. (93 days.) An early, very prolific, high yield- 
ing, two-eared, white seeded, red cob corn. Especially well suited to Florida. Long 
, husk covers the tip of ears fairly well, making it quite resistant to worm and wet 
| weather damage and bird attacks. Ears are large and heavy, small cob, deep white 
grain, which is rather hard and keeps well. Provides quality and quantity for 
roasting ears and for feed. One of the best, high yielding varieties for Florida.

IMPROVED GOLDEN DENT. (86 days.) A wonderful yielder, and does splendidly 
here in Florida. It is planted extensively for early use, but is too soft for a genera} 
crop. Has large, deep, broad grains, and is desirable for early feed.
