t late, should have the
benefit of the whole season. For parching, it is inferior to the Common
Parching Corn before described, though it yields as much bulk in
proportion to the size of the kernel, and is equally as white: but the
sharp points often remain sound; and it is, consequently, less crisp and
tender.

RICE (YELLOW KERNEL).

Another sub-variety of the White Rice; the ear and kernel being of the
same form and size. It is equally productive, and matures as early; but,
when parched, is inferior to the White both in crispness and flavor.

STOWELL'S EVERGREEN.

Stowell's Evergreen Sweet.

Stalk from six to seven feet in height, and of average diameter; ears of
a conical form, six or seven inches long, and two inches and a quarter
in diameter at the base; kernels long or deep, pure white when suitable
for boiling, of a dull, yellowish-white, and much shrivelled when ripe;
cob white, and, in consequence of the depth of the kernels, small in
comparison to the diameter of the ear.

The variety is intermediate in its season; and, if planted at the same
time with Darling's or equally early kinds, will keep the table supplied
till October. It is hardy and productive, very tender and sugary, and,
as implied by the name, remains a long period in a fresh condition, and
suitable for boiling.

TUSCARORA.

Turkey Wheat.

Plant five to six feet in height, moderately strong and vigorous; ears
eight-rowed, and of remarkable size,--exceeding, in this respect, almost
every sort used for the table in the green state. In good soil, they are
often a foot and upwards in length, and from two inches and
three-fourths to three inches in diameter at the base. The kernel, which
is much larger than that of any other table variety, is pure white,
rounded, flattened, and, when divided in the direction of its width,
apparently filled with fine flour of snowy whiteness; the cob is red,
and of medium size.

In point of maturity, the Tuscarora is an intermediate variety. In its
green state, it is of fair quality, and considered a valuable sort by
those to whom the sweetness of the sugar varieties is objectionable. In
their ripened state, the kernels, to a great extent, retain their fresh
and full appearance, not shrivelling in the manner of the sugar sort,
though almost invariably indented at the ends like some of the Southern
Horse-toothed field varieties.

When ground in the ripe state, it is much less farinaceous and valuabl
