Several Spikes, or Heads of Mayz or Indian Wheat, most are about a Span long, and consist of 8 Rows, in each of which are usually above 30 Grains (i)(i) Id. N° 142. by Governour Winthorp. : But here is one that hath 47 in a Row yet remaining, but by the Sockets it appears to have had above 50. In the Northern Parts they have a peculiar Kind called Mohauks Corn that is less. Here is one that I take to be of this Sort, which, tho' at its full Growth is but half the Bigness of the former, yet hath it twelve Rows, and in each of them 32 Grains. The most usual Colours of Mayz are white or yellow; but there are also of Red, Blue, Olive, Greenish, Black, Speckled and Striped; most of which Colours I have in one single Ear, they are therefore only Varieties, not distinct Sorts. Mr. Will. Tolson gave me one that he raised at Leedes, of Seed that he brought from those Parts of the World: In this the Beard is visible, which is not in those that are full grown. It is said to grow six or eight Foot in Height, but my Friend brought me one from Pensylvania that is 12 or 13 Foot long, with a Sort of Flowry Excrescence or Particle at the Top; it is jointed like a Sugar Cane.
