Excelsior Sweet Corn
The three desirable qualities combined in this variety are earliness, sweetness, and duration. It follows the Early Minnesota, remains in a fresh state and suitable for boiling nearly as long as the Evergreen, and is by far the sweetest variety we have ever grown. After once tasting of this, it will be difficult to induce a person to use any other. Ears large, thick; ten to twelve rows to the ear; kernels long, much shriveled and indented when dry.
