Three hundred and twenty-three varieties have been described. Flint corn has a short and rounded kernel which is quite hard. It has no dent in the top. An ear of flint corn is quite smooth and does not have so many rows of kernels as an ear of dent corn. Flint corn does not take so long to mature and so is raised in our most northern states and in Canada. The stalks and ears do not get so large as those of dent corn. Siveet corn usually has a shrivelled kernel which is sweet to the taste. Sweet corn is raised by farmers and truck garden- ers largely for table use and for canning purposes. Farmers.
