    A mid-season white hybrid that has nice full 8 inch ears. It is a week earlier than Silver Queen and resembles it, but it is less dependable under my growing conditions. I replaced it with Silver King and have not looked back.

    Sugary Enhanced 'Frosty' (70) White corn is normally less cold-soil tolerant than yellow varieties, but 'Frosty' rated 4.5 on a scale of 1 to 5 in cold-soil trials; it forms a nice, big, blocky ear.
