I have not grown this cultivar since the mid-fifties, but it is still one of the best open pollinated sweet corns. It was introduced by Burpee in 1902 and rapidly became the standard for the next fifty years, the first yellow sweet corn to attain popularity. Small 8 row, 7 inch ears on short 5 ft stalks. Mid season (about 80 days)
