Sweetcorn - Zea Mays - Seeds

This is among the oldest sweet corn that is still in production, predating 1949. It is still a favourite of many, producing tasty white kernels. The plants used to be pulled up when completely ripe, and hung upside-down in a cool pantry; the ears would last well into the winter, in a semi-fresh state. In 1873, the seeds sold for 25 American cents per pint.
