Over the years sweet corn varieties have been developed to improve fl avor, seed germination, fl exibility of the harvest period, and many other desirable characteristics. Plant early, midseason, and late varieties to extend the corn season. Our 1 oz. packets contain a minimum of 125 seeds and will plant 30 to 50 feet of row; 1 lb. has approximately 1800 to 5000 seeds (average 2500 for su/se types, 3000 for sh2 types) and plants about 500 to 800 feet. We recommend planting an average of 12 lbs. per acre for su/se types and 8 lbs. per acre for sh2 varieties. Watch for abbreviations (su) for normal varieties, (se) for sugary enhanced and (sh2) for supersweets to the right of each variety name. All sweet corn requires warm soil temperatures of at least 55°F or more for good germination and 65°F for supersweets.


SWEET CORN TYPES


Normal sweet corn varieties (designated su) offer traditional old-fashioned corn fl avor and require no isola- tion from other sweet corns. The sugars in the kernels will convert to starch more rapidly than other types, so normal corns must be used quickly once mature.


Sugary Enhanced varieties (designated se) have a gene that increases tenderness and sweetness. The result is a sweet, creamy and tender kernel with a longer harvest period. Varieties designated se are hybrids that have se and su parents (a term called heterozygous). Some varieties are designated se+ (or homo- zygous) which means they have two se parents for an increased degree of sweetness. Sugary enhanced varieties do not require isolation from normal (su) sweet corn, but should be isolated from (sh2) supersweet types and popcorn.


Super Sweet, Xtra Sweet, or Shrunken varieties (designated sh2) have a ‘shrunken’ gene that enhances sweetness and produces kernels that are crisp and juicy. Holding qualities are excellent, up to 10 days longer than normal hybrids. Cross pollination between supersweets and other corns (including fi eld corn) will result in a starchy, undesirable kernel in both. We recommend supersweets be planted at least 25 feet from other corns in the garden and 200 feet from varieties in acreage plantings.


Synergistics are the latest generation of sweet corn hybrids and their quality and fl avor are amazing. They are a combination of 75% (se) kernels and 25% (sh2) kernels. The result blends the natural corn fl avor and tenderness of sugary enhanced (se) sweet corns with the higher sugar levels and better keeping qualities of the supersweet (sh2) types. Synergistic, se and su varieties can be grown together, but isolate synergis- tics from other supersweet (sh2) varieties or the result will be tough, starchy kernels for both.


INFORMATION ON SWEET CORN SEED TREATMENT


Unless noted, our sweet corn is treated with a fungicide to improve germination in cold, wet soils. Wherever possible, other seed sold in our catalog is untreated.
