"The inherited sugar enhanced (SE/se) traits are what make these corn varieties unique. For starters, the kernel walls are the most tender of all corn varieties. Added to that are more sugars, making every ear as sweet as can be. After harvest, the conversion from sugar to starch in SE/se corn is delayed, so the corn maintains its sweetness longer after picking. To top it off, no isolation is required from other normal types of sweet corn, making SE/se corn very popular.
CULTURE: Patience is critical to growing a good crop of corn. Corn does not like cold wet soil so resist the urge to plant until the soil temperature is 60-65°F. If in doubt, get a soil thermometer and check! Enthusiastic gardeners can get a jumpstart by starting the seed indoors and transplanting after the danger of frost has passed. Because corn is wind pollinated, plant individual varieties in blocks of 4 rows. Space rows 24-30 inches apart, and make row furrows about 6-8 inches deep. Spread 6 pounds of Territorial’s 6-5-3 Complete Fertilizer per 100 linear feet or 100 square feet. Back fill the furrow until it is 1-2 inches deep. Sow 3 seeds per foot and cover with soil or sifted compost. Days to emergence: 7-10, when soil temperature is 65-85°F. When seedlings are 4-5 inches tall, thin plants to a final spacing of 8-12 inches apart. Water regularly and deeply. Up until the corn begins to tassel, use Fish & Kelp Grow Formula or a high nitrogen fertilizer as a foliar spray every 7-14 days. If the color of the plant is dark green, cut back the fertilizer. Mulch with compost or composted manure to help retain moisture and control weeds. NUMBER OF EARS: Most corn varieties are bred to produce 2 ears. Excellent growing conditions and soil fertility can sometimes result in a third ear. DISEASE: The incidence of disease in corn is being greatly reduced by breeding resistant varieties. Prevention is enhanced by a 3-year crop rotation and removing old stalks in the fall. INSECTS/PESTS: Corn borers can be controlled with applications of Rotenone-Pyrethrin applied before silking. Contact your local county extension agent for more specific pest control measures in your area. The most important control measure is removing all stalks and refuse from the garden in fall. HARVEST: When kernels are full and ‘’milky’’. A drying and browning of the ear silks is a good indicator of readiness. Ears should be cooled as quickly as possible and stored at 34°F. SEED SPECS: Minimum germination standard: 80%. Days to maturity are calculated from date of direct seeding. Usual seed life: 1 year. Approximately 110-250 seeds per ounce (average 115); 8 ounces per 1/2 pound.
Sampler: 1 ounce Packet: 2 ounces Unless otherwise noted."
"The shrunken gene (sh2) gives the dried kernels an extra-wrinkled appearance. This inherited characteristic increases the sweetness of the corn at harvest time. Commonly called ‘’Supersweet’’, sh2 varieties are some of the sweetest corn available. They do not germinate well in cold wet soil, so make sure your soil is at least 70°F; use a soil thermometer if uncertain. To grow great Supersweet corn, you must isolate it by time or distance from any other corn.

"We offer open-pollinated corn especially for the seed saver. Yields may be somewhat lower than hybrid sweet corn. Corn varieties need to be separated by at least 1/2 mile or need to be bagged to prevent cross pollination. See our book section for seed saving publications.

"Ornamental corn, best known as Indian corn, is often used for decorating, but it makes great cornmeal and corn flour.

"Another example of the summer's efforts enjoyed in the winter. After picking and husking, spread the ears in a dry, airy place and allow to cure for several weeks. Test-pop a few kernels periodically to determine when the kernels are dry enough to twist from the cobs, store in airtight containers, and enjoy all winter. Large quantities can be processed by placing into heaps and stomping the kernels off the ears.
