Golden Bantam 8-row Sweet Corn

50 Seeds

$ 3.69

Golden Bantam 8-row is an open-pollinated variety bred in the 1890's by William Chambers and introduced by W. Altee Burpee in 1902.  Its small 5-inch ears were originally selected to fit neatly into a side plate at the roadside inns where Chambers sold his produce.  Upon introduction by Burpee, Golden Bantam skyrocketed in popularity, earning a place for "sugar" corn on the American dinner table.  It remained the most popular variety for nearly 30 years.  Compact 5-foot-tall plants consistently produce two ears.  Not as sweet as the super sugary hybrids today, but still delicious, especially when harvested at its peak (21 days after pollination).  80 days to harvest.  Each packet contains a minimum of 50 seeds.

Better Than Previous Years

We had no trouble what so ever with this seed unlike the previous 1-star reviews. All the corn came up except for a few plants where the ground was a little too wet. I'm guessing we got a 98% stand and the sweet corn is doing fine so far (mid-August). We also bought over 100+ seeds so I'm guessing the previous reviews had more to do with the growing conditions which have been quite a challenge this year so say the least than bad seed! We're also professional farmers with more than a 100+ years of combined experience so maybe that has something to do with it.

I wouldn't hesitate for a second in buying this seed again.
