® STOWELL’S HYBRID 
EVERGREEN 
(Days to Maturity, 90) 
This hybrid is produced from pure inbred 
strains out of the parental Stowell’s variety. It 
is typically about 16- rowed, with higher sugar 
content and better tenderness than the open- 
pollinated Stowell’s Evergreen. It generally 
produces about 25 percent greater yield than the 
open-pollinated Stowell’s and is much more 
uniform, of course. Stalks are from 714 to 8% 
feet tall on average soil and the crop is ready for 
table use in about 90 days from planting under 
most conditions. Highly resistant to smut and 
drought. Ears are about 8 inches long. Excellent 
for canning.
