Country Gentleman

(Zea mays )

Introduced in 1890 by S.D. Woodruff & Son this is 'shoepeg' type corn where the kernels are packed in a zig zag pattern around the cob rather than in rows. White kernelled, super sweet, delicious (one of the best)  sweet corn that has many tillers on each plant when well grown with multiple cobs (I have seen 8 on 1 plant) the beards are very reddish and handsome, so I think that's where the 'Country Gentleman' name comes from.
