Corn, Stowell’s Hybrid Evergreen 
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 typical- 
ly about 16-rowed, with higher sugar content and 
better tenderness than the open-pollinated Sto- 
well’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 71% 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.
