HYBRID SWEET CORN Hybrid Yellow Types (su).
03907 EARLIVEE. Our earliest 14 row su sweet corn with ear size substantially larger than Early Sunglow. Replaces Polarvee due to its larger 8 in. ear size, bright yellow kernels and improved eating quality. De- veloped in Canada at a breeding station where they really know about early sweet corns. No other extra-early su corn matches the size of this one. Grows well in short-season areas where many common varieties won't mature.

(150 seeds) $3.50; 3+ $3.15 each; (C) 1,000 seeds $17.50; 2+ $15.95 each; (AC) 10,000 seeds $107.95.

Everlasting Heritage Type.
A breakthrough in breeding! Trial evaluations have confirmed that the E.H. family is one of the tenderest, sweetest and best eating corns yet developed. The E.H. stands for everlasting heritage genes, also known as sugary enhanced (se). The E.H. gene gives the corn a super-high natural sugar content which makes it hold longer before and after picking (10 to 14 days). E.H. family members can and freeze very well and have great "corn flavor”.
03812 PEACHES & CREAM E.H. All the outstanding qualities of Kandy Korn E.H., but in a bicolor that’s nearly as early as our Early Sun- glow. Big 7 in. ears combine the sweetness of white corn with the juiciness of yellow corn. Very popular for roadside market. Only 69 days. (A) Pkt. (150 seeds) $3.25; 3+ $2.95 each; (C) 1,000 seeds $15.95; 2+ $14.50 each; (AC) 10,000 seeds $99.95.

Creamy, tender ker- nels burst with superior sweetness at first bite while retaining the "sweet corn" taste lost in many of the newest su- persweet corns. It’s impossible for tasters to tell which are the sweet- est
kernels...the pearly white ones or the bright yellow ones. Highly recommended for roadside stands, farmers markets and home garden- ing. Ears are large considering the early maturity, about 8 in. long, 2 in. in diameter, and filled with 14 rows of tenderness.
