Narrative
According to the Second Corn Improvement Conference (1938): "Anthers green, glumes medium red, silks green; tassel very sparsely branched. Plants raterh tall with ears of medium height; chlorophyll medium green; few suckers; strong root system but stalks tend to break after maturity; ears rather long, grain of fair quality" "Short stalk, long ears, stands fairly well. Excellent pollinator under the best conditions, but very temperamental. Also temperamental as to seed setting, though again under the right conditions sets well."
