Narrative
This varety is much used in Mexico and southern Texas for late planting. In the southern half of the Gulf States it can be successfully grown after a crop of oats, millet, or wheat has been harvested. It is a white corn and the ears are of a good size, each stalk producing from one to three ears. The stalks attain a height of from 10 to 15 feet. The blades are more numerous than on most other varieties, making this valuable for forage or ensilage purposes. It is often planted between rows of Irish potatoes and other truck, and is suitable for rich bottom lands that become dry enought to plant early in June.
