CORN—(Open-pollinated—continued ) 
GUNSON RED GIANT—A cross-bred variety with all 
the inherent vigor of a hybrid. Grain is a rich dark red 
with shallow cup, tipped with white. Ears 10 to 12 inches 
long, almost cylindrical. Stalks 10 to 14 feet, with an im- 
mense amount of leaves producing 14 to 20 tons per acre 
of green fodder. Matures about 10 days later than Cornell 
ll. 
LANCASTER SURE CROP — Originated and developed 
by Isaac Hershey of Lancaster County, Pa. Ears of unusual 
length, cob thin, with 16 to 20 rows of grain on each ear. 
Kernels are shallow but lie close together so there is no 
lost space between the rows. Grain is a rich yellow but 
when shelled shows a reddish yellow cast. Stalks tall, very 
leafy and withstands drought well. Recommended for 
ensilage except in southern section of Pennsylvania and 
similar localities where it will fully mature. 
RED ROBIN— Grain corn or early ensilage. Ears average 
from 7 to 9 inches in length, with 12 to 16 rows of medium 
size kernels, rather short, decidedly brownish-red with 
an almost white cap. Stalks 7 to 8 feet, very leafy, exceed- 
ingly strong and carrying the ears well up on the stalk. 
This corn in a favorable year has ripened in Northern 
Vermont but we recommend only for ensilage in such 
localities and for a husking corn in more southern sections. 
W. B. SWEEPSTAKES—A combined cross of Bloody 
Butcher, Leaming and White Cap Yellow Dent, extremely 
hardy. It is originated in the West Branch Valley of Penn- 
sylvania. Stalks 12 to 14 feet, foliage long, broad and 
heavy. Ears average 12 inches long, with 14 to 20 rows 
of reddish grain with a white cap. A heavy feeder, it re- 
quires heavy fertilization. Recommended only for ensilage 
except in Pennsylvania, Ohio and similar localities. 
YELLOW SWEEPSTAKES— A fine late ensilage variety. 
Stalks 14 to 16 feet high with heavy foliage. Ears 10 to 12 
inches long with 12 to 14 rows of broad yellow grain. 
Later than W.B. Sweepstakes and not recommended for 
ensilage in northern sections if well matured corn is ex- 
pected in silage. Sold out for 1954.
