Corn Country Gentleman (Heirloom) - 1 Pkt. (200 seeds)

"92 days. One of the most unusual sweet corns because the white kernels are arranged irregularly, not in rows. The kernels are also very deep and narrow, hence its alternate name ""Shoe-peg"". Developed around 1890 in the Connecticut Valley, it is a much bigger form of a very old variety, Ne Plus Ultra (""nothing better""). In fertile soils, it can yield three ears per stalk, and sometimes more. It is a beautiful corn with wonderful texture and flavor. It holds its peak quality much longer than most heirloom corns.

Fantastic find!, May 11, 2009

"I have been looking for seeds for this corn for it seems like forever!!!! My mom used to grow it all the time when I was little, & I got thoroughly hooked on it. It's crunchy-sweet & just great with a dab of real butter. An easy grower. Raccoons like it, too."
