Burpee Golden Bantam Sweet Corn Seeds 200 seeds

This variety made yellow sweet corn popular. When Burpee introduced it in 1902, people only wanted white corn which signified refinement & quality. It was created by a skilled gardener in greenfield, Massachusetts who loved to have the earliest corn in town. 'Golden bantam' quickly rose to the top since it sprouted in cool soil better than all other corns of the time, & growers could make big money with it. The stalks are only 5' tall & often bear two 5.5-6.5" long ears apiece. For old-fashioned corn flavor & early plantings, it's still outstanding.
