Tolerant of Rust, Stewart's Wilt, and Northern Corn Leaf Blight.

Earlier than Silver Queen and every bit as delicious!
82 days. This year, why not grow the Royal Family of sweet corn -- Silver King, Silver Queen, and Golden Queen? Silver King, a Sugar Enhanced (S. E.) type, is the earliest to mature, with slightly larger ears than its classic mate -- 16 to 18 tightly packed rows of snowy kernels pack every ear of this succulent hybrid! The stalks reach 6 to 7 feet high and are wonderfully resilient, tolerating Rust, Stewart's Wilt, and Northern Corn Leaf Blight. Succulent flavor from base to tip!

Sow after last spring frost, when the soil is warm. Corn is famously easy to direct-sow in any sunny spot. To extend your corn harvest, make successive plantings weekly up to mid-July, or plant varieties with differing maturity dates. Pkt is 200 seeds. Corn seed in packet sizes of 1 lb. or smaller is now available for shipment to Canada.

I've shared this with many people, we all agree, it's the best tasting corn we've ever eaten. And the plants are the most disease and mildew resistant in my arid Utah mountain climate.
