Peg 1 05 days 
One of the best known and widely 
planted varieties. The ears average 
8 to 9 in. in length, frequently three 
on a stalk. The white kernels are set 
irregularly on the cob so there are 
no rows. Cob is very small and the 
kernels have great depth. A stand¬ 
ard late variety for home gardens, 
market gardens and commercial can- 
ners. 
Golden Evergreen 95 days

Stowell’s Evergreen, combining the 
buttery flavor of the former with the 
large ear of the latter. Stalks grow 
6 to 7 ft., bearing ears 7 to 8 in. long, 
with straight rows (12 to 14) of de¬ 
liciously, sweet, golden kernels.
