Country Gentleman 
Late Varieties 
Country Gentleman or Shoe 
Peg 105 days 
One of the best known and wide¬ 
ly planted varieties. The ears aver¬ 
age 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 standard late variety for 
home gardens, market gardens and 
commercial canners.

Seed Growers. It is an improved 
Yellow Country Gentleman, being 
superior to Golden Cream in ear 
length and color. Ear and stalk 
growth are similar to Country 
Gentleman. The grain is narrow 
and is zig-zag or staggered on the 
ear. 
Golden Country Gentleman or 
Golden Cream 92 days 
This is similar to Country Gen¬ 
tleman, with a light yellow or 
cream color to the grain. Ears are 
slightly shorter but grain is car¬ 
ried in the same manner.
