Corn Country Gentleman (Heirloom)
HEIRLOOM. From 1890. Unusual white corn with irregular rows. Great flavor.
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.
