Will's Early June

Very early maturing, white sweet corn. Small ears, 3.5-4.5 inches long. Short plants, 4-5 feet tall. Zero to two tillers per plant. 2-3 ears per plant. Eight kernel rows per ear. White cobs. At the sweet corn stage, ears have a creamy texture but are not very sweet. Kernels are quite starchy with a rather tough pericarp. Fair flavor. Donated to SSE by Doug Egeland (NY EG D) who obtained this variety from the USDA. The "Vegetables of New York" series (U.P Hedrick) states that the variety was introduced in 1900 by the Oscar H. Will Seed Company who had obtained it from Robert Holmes of Anoka, Minnesota. SSE Accession # 108680
