In planning the next stage of one of my sweet corn projects, I'm seeking recommendations for all white sweet corn varieties that you think I should try.

I already have one recommendation for "Aunt Mary's" which is an OP/heirloom.  

I'm not limiting my options to OP/heirlooms though, and SE hybrid types are fine as well.

What white sweet corns have you tried that were especially good?

'Silver Queen'.    It's a hybrid, but I think you can fish out good lines with seed saving and selection over several years.  See  https://eap.mcgill.ca/MagRack/COG/COG_P_97_05.htm

Good luck!

John,

I went through my entire seed collection yesterday, and found that I already had one packet of silver queen that I forgot about.  I'll be planting it next year for sure.  Thanks for the recommendation!
 
I miss the old days when I would think up a sinister scheme for world domination and you would show a little emotional support. So just look at this tiny ad:
