Corn Seeds – DF 98613 Ashworth (Zea mays sacharata)

Description

Early and hardy with good cold soil emergence, with yellow kernels. Full bodied old-fashioned sweet corn flavor. Open-pollinated. A composite of early varieties originally developed by the late Fred Ashworth of St. Lawrence Nurseries and marketed by Johnny’s Selected Seeds starting in 1978. According to legend, Ashworth originally named his variety “Rat Selected” in honor of the rodents who broke into his seed storage room and alerted him to certain kernels that they preferred. (72 days)
