Positive	Farmerdill	On Feb 26, 2004, Farmerdill from Augusta, GA (Zone 8a) wrote: Bantam Evergreen was one of the first hybrid sweet corns I ever grew. A cross between Golden Bantam and Stowell's Evergreen, it had the size and yield of the Evergreen with the flavor of Bantam. Todays Golden Queen is most like it in growth and taste.
