Good tasting corn with great yields but takes long to mature

Dad knows best
Reviewed By: W D Griggs (Holly Hill, SC)
Silver Queen... Grew up with my dad raving about 'Silver Queen', eating year after year and creating a lincoln log style pyramid with the used cobs. As dad grew older, all he wanted was his new false teeth to be installed so he could once again enjoy 'Silver Queen'. I grew up on 'Silver Queen' and enjoyed many an year. I figure, if its perfect - why mess with it. IE: there may be better varities out there... but I could care less.

So close to perfection
Reviewed By: Chris (Howell, MI)
My father grew this corn for years and it is easily one of the best tasting I've ever eaten. Sweet without being syrupy, crisp texture, an outstanding gem in all flavor aspects. The plants are strong and tall and the yields are excellent, though its production life is relatively short. I started growing it again last year and had a serious problem with smut development and I remember my father having the same problem with this variety. While I haven't written of this variety, I will be trying new varieties to see if I can find one with comparable flavor, but better disease resistance.
