An antique that has stood the test of time. I grew up calling it Shoepeg because of the irregular arrangement of the kernels. Competitive with Stowell's Evergreen. It is a little better quality than field corn, but not competitive with modern varieties. Large ears and is productive. Still widely used for creamed corn. There is a modern hybrid (Co-Gent) of similar appearance that is used for commercial canned creamed corn.
