Egyptian Sweet Corn
A variety of late introduction, noted for its productiveness, the large size of its ears, and for its sweetness and tenderness. It is peculiarly adapted for canning purposes, and the superiority of the canned green corn of this variety has been noticeable, often bringing a half more per can than other sorts. It is said that the stalks will average three ears each. Its season is about the same as the Evergreen.
