Country Gentleman Sweet Corn (Zea mays) - This historic heirloom was introduced in 1890 by S.D. Woodruff & Sons. A classic old favourite “shoe peg” variety, it produces sweet, milky, tender kernels on approximately 9-inch ears. The creamy white kernels are uniquely packed in a zigzag pattern with no distinct row formation. One of the best heirloom sweet corns we grow, it has long been valued for both fresh eating and processing, and has historically been used in the canned corn industry.
75-80 days to maturity.
75 seeds per packet.
Planting Instructions: Direct seed Corn after risk of frost has passed, and when the soil temperature is above 18 degrees Celsius. Sow in a furrow, 1 - 1.5 inches deep and 4 inches apart, thinning to 1 plant per every 8 inches. Plant Corn in blocks or at least 4 rows to ensure proper pollination.
