The three types of sweet com com
monly planted include:
1. Normal sugary kemals con
tain moderate but varying degrees
of sugar, depending on the variety.
The sugars convert to starch rapid
ly after harvest. This type of sweet
com has the "traditionar com fla
vor and germinates best when soil
temperatures are between 55
degrees F and 60 degrees F.
2. Sugary Enhanced sweet com
has a gene, when present, that
modifies the normal sugary (su)
gene. When this happens, the
result is increased tenderness and,
to a certain degree, the sweetness
Roll out a large sheet of pie dough, rather thick, and
cut in pieces large enough to cover an apple. Pare and
core the apple without cutting in pieces. Fill the inside
hole with brown sugar with a little lemon juice. Put one
apple in a piece of dough and seal it.
Dust them thickly with flour and put them in a pot of
boiling water. Boil until the apples are soft when pierced
with a fork. Serve warm with cream or a sweet sauce.
CORRECTION Here is a correction for the apple frit
ter ‘Sunday’ that appeared in the paper two weeks ago.
“Eat slowly. It’s a Sunday made in heaven,” writes Betty
Light of Lebanon.

of the sweet com. The conversion
of sugar to starch after harvest is
slowed. No isolation from "nor
mal" sweet com is necessary when
planting an (Se) sweet com. A soil
temperature of between 55 degree
F to 60 degrees F will help in the
germination of sugary.enhanced
(Se) sweet com seed.
3. Shrunken (sh 2) sweet com
seed is characterized by the
shrunken or dry or wrinkled
appearance of the seed. The gene
involved in this type of sweet com
creates greatly heightened levels
of sweetness in the com and prom
otes a slow conversion of the ker
nal sugar (sucrose) to simpler

sugar (such as fructose) after
harvest. The common name for
this type of sweet com is "Super
Sweet” sweet com.
Cross-pollination between a
"super sweet" and a "normal" or n
sugary enhanced" sweet com vari
ety will result in tough, starchy
kemals in both types. The seed of
shrunken-type (sh 2) sweet com
must be handled very carefully
because this type of seed tends to
be very brittle and can "fracture" or
break-apart very easily if it is
handled roughly. Broken or "frac
tured" sweet com seed will not ger
minate and the total number of
sweet com plants in the field or
garden wilt be drastically reduced.
Shrunken-type (sh 2) sweet
corns germinate best when the soil
temperature is between 65 degree
F and 70 degree F. Shrunken-type
(sh 2) sweet corns must be isolated
from other types of sweet com in
order to protect their unique "super
sweet" qualities. Try to separate
this type of sweet com from other
sweet corns by maintaining a 10 to
14 day variety maturity difference
or by maintaining a barrier of at
least 500 feet between unlike
sweet corns.
Sweet com plants like a well
drained fertile soil with a pH range
of 6.0 to 6.8. Sweet com seed
should not be planted too deep
about 1 to I 1/2 inches is Fine. The
use of a good starter fertilizer like
5-10-5 or 8-24-8 is also
recommended.

Cooperative Extension Service by
