Reverse of a Type IV Seated Dime

What are the grains/plants on the back of a Seated Liberty Dime from 1860 -1891? I can recognize for sure only the corn.

    Regarding Wreath of Cereals: " On the reverse the wreath fills much more of the field,occupying the space where the legend formerly was , and is composed of oak leaves and one acorn,together with corn on the right and cotton and tobacco on the left. Both sprays are fastened by a ribbon bow-knot." From Valentine 1931. On the other hand Breen says "wreath of corn,wheat, maple and oak leaves" I am not sure what is correct. I briefly looked through the Gobrecht Journals but did find a discussion on my first pass.
