Hybrid White Sweet Corn 
Stowell’s Evergreen Hybrid 
aaa 
To enjoy Sweet Corn at its best, it should be 
eaten as soon as possible after ears are pulled; any 
delay causes loss of sweetness and quality. Whether 
you grow yellow or white grained corn is a matter of 
preference as is the selection of hybrids or open 
pollinated, the so-called standard varieties.
