Zea Mays

Country Gentleman is an Heirloom sweetcorn variety dating back to 1890. It is unusual as its white kernels are arranged irregularly, not in rows. The kernels are also very deep and narrow, hence its alternate name, Shoe-peg. In good conditions it can yield up to three ears per stalk. Has a good corn flavour not as sweet as some modern hybrid varieties.
