I agree totally on Silver Queen, but it seems harder to find every year
(Connecticut). It used to be that we'd get yellow corn (cow corn) early,
then the yellow and white (butter and sugar corn), and finally the Silver
queen between mid-August and first frost. It seems that only the smallest
stands still bother with Silver Queen. I guess, given the time it takes
from seeding to harvest is just too long to be profitable.
