(96 days) F-1 hybrid. Like Sugar & Gold to the previous generation, Silver Queen has become so classic as to constitute a generic brand. Most farmers claiming to offer it have long since switched to more modern hybrids. Because some still prefer to grow the real Queen, that’s what we offer. Silver Queen has long set the standard for late-maturing sweet corn with large handsome ears, replete with glossy white creamy sweet kernels that fill to the very tips. It came in on Aug. 31, 2012, and blessed our first week of September with its delicious lovely ears. In colder climates it sneaks in just ahead of those first killing frosts late in September. Other varieties may be sweeter, but I can’t think of a better way to end the corn season. 8–9' tall plants. Caution: said to germinate poorly in cold soil. Tolerates NCLB, SCLB, ST. ⑥
We have decided to stop carrying varieties sold by Syngenta Group or its subsidiaries, Hollar and Goldsmith. Starting with the 2024 catalog, you will not see any Syngenta Group, or Code 6, varieties listed in our paper catalog. We will continue to sell some varieties online until our in house inventory is gone. Purchasing them will not further support Syngenta Group, but help us limit our losses and lessen the financial impact of our decision.
