REID'S YELLOW DENT

REID'S YELLOW DENT

***NOT TO WA, NT*** (Zea mays) Heirloom first released by Robert Reid of Illinois in 1847 & improved by his son James Reid from 1870-1900.

Deep yellow kernels formed inside red cobs 25-30cm long. Tall plant. Grown mainly for use as maize in corn meal, masa, animal feed etc, but may also be eaten fresh in the milk stage as a sweet corn. High yields, very adaptive & productive. 60 seeds
