Early Boynton Sweet, or Sugar Corn
We firmly believe this is the earliest variety of sweet corn in existence. On our own seed farms this season, it produced roasting ears earlier than the Early Six Weeks variety. It is fit for table at least ten days before the Early Minnesota. The ears are small, rather pointed, and when mature, the kernels are much shriveled. It is of course intended only for first early, and a week's time makes a great deal of difference in the profits of a market gardener.
