Corn - Country Gentleman The Corn Sweet Country Gentleman, 'Zea mays', was introduced in 1891. The tasty, sweet, milky heirloom corn is delightful to eat, and has one unusual trait, the kernels are not arranged in rows. Named for a famous 19th century American agricultural magazine, Country Gentleman is an excellent old variety of corn for the home gardener, Plants are 6 to 7 feet tall and the ears are 8 inches long. Plant in the spring, a week or two after the last spring frost or when the soil is warm. In the deep south, this can be as early as February. Successive plantings in two week intervals will produce a much longer cropping season. Corn prefers a deep, rich well drained soil. Harvest the ears when the husks are dark green and the silks are brown but not brittle. Corn is usually ready 3 weeks after silks appear. |
