correction. All I have Is corn and pumpkins, I'am willing to however pay for the shipping of bishop's weed because It would cost you more money then me to ship a plant, all I could ship of course Is seeds. I have a some wildflower seeds that were give to me I have no idea what they are I'll throw them in as well. SO reread that as corn and pumpkin seeds and like I said I will pay shipping to have bishops weed sent to me. Also I MUCH prefer the original species to the varigated one's

According to Sandhill preservation, Hickory Cane is a Blue and White late Hickory King type. They sell it. Have no experience with it.

Went back and looked at the photos I took of the first year I put a garden in by the house. I agree myself with some of the doubts of the 12 ft. high stalks! Hehehe! Most of the stalk heights were around 10 ft. or so with some being less. Was late when I put this topic up and seemed to me that the stalk heights were much higher than what they really were. Time has a way of playing tricks on the mind I think! LOL! Sorry for that. :) Someone mentioned urea in the soil. The previous owner before I moved in, had a dog kennel with wood chips as bedding, where the garden now resides. I think that may have had a good effect on the first year or two garden results. The plants then, looked better than they do now. Each year I usually add dead leaves and other yard waste to the soil in the Fall. A few years ago, I did add a few hundred pounds of processed cow manure into the soil which seemed to help that years crop. I do remember the beans that were growing in the same patch of soil as the corn was, really had a nice rich green color to the leaves. The nitrogen fertilizer I use is 38-0-0. I also try to keep the plants watered about every 5 or 6 days. I usually just dig a small hole in the ground near the plants and see how dry the soil is to let me know if the soil is really dried out or still moist under the surface. The ear sizes the first year or two were nice looking and long. Seems like each year the majority of the ears that I get are getting shorter. Sounds like to me that it may be related to a soil nutrient deficiency. I have been toying with the idea of using a good amount of compost and seeing what kind of results I can get. I am definitely sold on the soil test idea. Would be interesting to see what it looks like now. I had one done around 4 years ago. Thanks folks for the help and suggestions. It is really appreciated. :)

Most likely, the other way round. Hickory King has been in continuous production since 1870. First time I have heard of Tuscaloosa White and it still does not show up in a Google search.
