Burpee’s White Evergreen 
i 
To enjoy Sweet Corn at its best, it should be eaten 
as soon as possible after ears are pulled. Take husks 
off promptly and if necessary to keep corn for a 
short time, put the husked ears in transparent bags 
and keep at a 40 to 50° temperature until ready to 
use. 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. 
It is not advisable to save seed from plantings of any 
hybrids because there will be a reduction in yield the 
next year. For best results, be sure to get new seed 
of any hybrid corn each year.
