Silver King White Flint Corn Seed (105 days)
This heirloom variety is not a sweet corn, but is grown for cornmeal. Do not confuse this heirloom variety with the hybrid sweet corn that's being sold under the same name elsewhere. NOT a sweet corn.
Also known as "Wisconsin #7." Historically, J. A. Beagley of Sibly, IL is credited for originating Silver King in 1890. Further developed by the Wisconsin Experiment Station.
Offered to the open seed market by the L.L. Olds Seed Company and John A. Salzer Seed Co. in 1907. That same year, Silver King was recorded to produce 98 bushels per acre. A real record at the time using only organic fertilizers.
Ears average 8-9 inches. Very uniform and "always full to the tip." Compact straight rows.
Silver King was historically grown in Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, South Dakota, Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Does well in Canada. A strong grower especially adapted to resist cold weather.
