86 HMC (White) NARROWGRAIN ILLINOIS 14x 11 
A development by Professor W. A. Huelsen of the University of Illinois, for canning. A 
more narrow grain type than the older 14 x 13 and an exceptionally heavy yielder, 
combining high quality with hardiness. 
STALKS —8 feet tall, moderately heavy foliage. Curved or whip-like, reddish tassel. 
EARS 
8 inches long, 18 to 20 rows, large, slightly tapered at the tip. Remarkably 
uniform. 
KERNEL—White, deep, narrow, tender and sweet. Seed white, wrinkled. 
83 HMSCF (Yellow) PROSPERITY 
Formerly KVF 50-35 
An outstanding new hybrid of our development, shown by extensive trials from coast 
to coast to possess the characteristics desired for canning, freezing, shipping, and fresh 
use. Widely adapted. Has strong, vigorous stalks, red tassels and exterior silks, white 
interior silks. Ears are most attractive, with deep, narrow kernels, well covered by 
bright green husks with nice looking flags. Withstands drought and several leaf dis- 
eases, including bacterial wilt, quite well. A better yielder than perhaps any other corn 
of comparable quality. (Picture on opposite page.) 
STALKS —7 feet tall, uniform. Generally 2 good ears per stalk. Ears borne about 30 
inches above the ground. 
EARS ——-8% inches long, cylindrical, 14 to 18 rows. Well filled. Very uniform size, 
shape, and maturity. 
KERNEL—Attractive bright yellow, tender, with excellent flavor and texture. Seed 
yellow, wrinkled. 
84 HMCF (White) SILVERLINER 
A white hybrid sweet corn with quality comparable to Golden Cross. Larger ears, with 
deeper, narrower kernels and taller stalks. Good husk coverage and tip protection. Top 
quality white hybrid, and well liked by shippers selling on Southern markets. 
STALKS —7 feet tall, uniform, dark green, vigorous, sturdy, with heavy foliage. Usu- 
ally 2 ears, high on the stalk. Relatively free from tillers. 
EARS 814 inches long, 14 to 18 rows, nearly cylindrical. Uniform size, shape, and 
maturity. Well filled to the tip.

86 HMC (White) STOWELL’S EVERGREEN HYBRID 
A hybrid to replace the popular standard main crop open pollinated Stowell’s Ever- 
green. Superior for its uniformity, vigor, productivity, and resistance to drought. 
STALKS —8 feet tall, stout, vigorous grower. Moderately heavy foliage. Some with 2 
ears per stalk.
