Book Description

Excerpt from University of Illinois, Agricultural Experiment Station, Vol. 21: Champaign, May, 1892; Bulletin Ears produced by crossing white dent with pollen of Queen's golden pop-corn were nearly as dark as the pollen-bearing parent, and were less dented than is characteristic of the variety. The smoothness may or may not have been an effect of crossing. Ears produced by crossing Queen's golden with pollen of white dent seemed lighter in color but were otherwise unchanged. Though the kernels of the dent corn weigh nearly two and one-half times as much as the pop-corn the pollen of the dent corn seemed to make no difference in the size of pop-corn kernels. Ears produced by crossing the white pop-corn, common pearl, with pollen of Queen's golden were very strongly marked with the yellow color of the male parent.
