Hickory King Corn
This has the largest grains with the smallest cob of any white corn. So large are the grains and so small the cob that on an ear broken in half a single grain will almost completely cover the cob section. Of strong growth, the stalks take a firm hold in the ground and stand upright. It yields splendid crops on light soil, and is undoubtedly the most productive white field corn for the South. We do not, however, consider it a safe crop to be grown north of Pennsylvania. Pkt 10 cts.; lb 25 cts.; 3 lbs for 65 cts.
Originally listed in: Burpee's Annual for 1916
