HUGE MIXED CORN Seeds Mix, Heirloom Organic Non-Gmo BN25 CORN Heirloom Mix 25 + Seeds vegetable garden SPRING SUMMER popcorn sweetcorn. HEIRLOOM - OPEN POLLINATED Most use this Mix Corn for decorative purposes, but young ears can definitely be roasted or boiled for dinner. Add to soups or salads for a fun pop of color and flavor. Loved for their ornamental value, Glass Gem's kernels are also good as popped corn or ground for cornmeal. Count: 25 Full Sun Sprouts in 7-10 Days Seed Depth: 1-2" Ideal Temperature: 75-80 F Plant Spacing: 12" Plant height: 4-5' Frost Hardy: No Eye-catching color Sweet, with lots of corn flavor Higher antioxidants than other sweet corn Color deepens with cooking Bred using traditional, non-GMO practices We've grown lots of colorful corn in our test gardens, but this mix is the first to combine dazzling purple and white kernels with a creamy, sweet corn flavor. When you sink your teeth into these kernels, you'll experience a juicy sweetness and creamy, old-timey corn flavor. Absolutely delicious! It's also higher in antioxidants than other sweet corn varieties. It has been selected for shorter and stronger plants to help prevent lodging; shinier and glossier kernels; 30-35% red husks and an ideal shank length for ease of pulling the husk back. The ears average 9 to 11" in length and have a wide range of color combinations including striped kernels. We’re sure you’ll find this fine ornamental corn to be an attractive addition to your fall displays. An interesting and tasty mix of sweet corn varieties. Starts producing in about 70 days from planting seeds, a real novelty, super delicious and excellent in the kitchen, very ez to grow! Sweet corn can be sown in spring after all danger of frost has passed. Successive plantings are possible to extend the harvest until September in most areas in America. From yummy open-pollinated sweet corn enjoyed at the dinner table, to colorful dried corn used for decorating homes and grinding cornmeal, you’ll find it here. Species: Variety of Corn. We do NOT make any claims that you will receive all 125+ seed varieties since we have no way of knowing which are which. Please note that all available varieties have been randomly mixed in ONE SINGLE PACKET – so there will a surprise factor until fruit start to set! Rainbow Corn Mix, Sweet, Ambrosia Hybrid, Blue Hopi, Golden Bantam, Honey Select Hybrid, Jubilee Hybrid, Nirvana Hybrid, Peaches and Cream, Picasso Hybrid, Flint Corn, Dent Corn, Popcorn, Sweet Rainbow Corn, Open Oak Party Mix, Indian Mini Mix Corn, Ornamental Corn, Ornamental Maize mix, Bodacious Sweet Corn and much more Growing Tips: Direct sow into the richest soil available 1-2 weeks before last spring frost. Succession planting prolongs harvest; planting in blocks improves pollination. Ears of corn are ready to harvest about 17-20 days after the silks appear. The kernels should be firm. Open an ear and pierce a kernel with your fingernail. If the liquid is watery, the corn is not ripe yet. It should be milky. If it is creamy, it is overripe and will not taste as sweet. Firmly grip the ear and twist downward to harvest. Take care not to break the plant when harvesting the first ear, or the second ear will not develop. Most corn produces two ears. Store unhusked corn in the fridge and consume as soon as possible. Sh2 and SE varieties keep the longest in the fridge, up to one week. Corn freezes well after blanching and may also be canned using a pressure cooker. Immature ears may be pickled. For better ear fill, plant a number of short rows together instead of a single long row, this helps insure pollination. How to Sow and Plant Growing corn is easy provided you have enough space and plenty of sun. Corn is wind-pollinated, so you need to plant in blocks to ensure pollination. You should have a minimum 10 foot by 10-foot area. The exception to this rule is ‘On Deck’ corn, which has been bred to grow in containers. If you are growing ‘On Deck’, choose a container that is at least 24 inches wide and deep and plant nine seeds evenly spaced. Isolate corn varieties when recommended (Sh2s), by planting corn seeds at least 250 feet apart, or select varieties that mature at least 2 weeks apart so they will not cross-pollinate. When choosing a site for corn, plant on the north side of your garden so the tall plants do not shade other plants in your vegetable garden. Corn is a warm-season crop and should not be planted in cool soils. The non Sh2 varieties tend to be more tolerant of cool soils, but in general, the soil should be about 65 degrees F or warmer. Sow corn seed 1 inch deep, 5 to 6 inches apart in rows 2 to 3 feet apart. Seedlings emerge in 7-14 days. When corn seedlings are 3-5 inches tall and healthy, thin to 1 foot apart. How to Grow Keep weeds under control during the growing season. Weeds compete with plants for water, space, and nutrients, so control them by either cultivating often or using mulch to prevent their seeds from germinating. Keep plants well-watered during dry periods to promote uninterrupted growth. Corn needs 1-2 inches of rain per week for best production. Use a rain gauge to check to see if you need to add water. Corn is also a heavy feeder and will benefit from side dressings of fertilizer applied as directed through the growing season. Monitor for pests and diseases. Check with your local Cooperative Extension Service for pest controls recommended for your area. Suckers tend to form at the base of the plants; they help support the stalks and make food for the plant. The stalks may have to be staked in windy areas, but in general, they are self-supporting. Sunflowers are a good companion plant for corns. Direct sow sunflowers in rows parallel to corn rows to help separate corn varieties that need isolation from each other. Choose sunflower varieties of comparable height to the corn plantings. The sunflower border, with vibrant hues in russets to golden-yellow, will add sparkle next to the almost all-green corn plot. The ‘Three Sisters (corn, bean, and squash) are traditional companion plantings with Native American gardeners.

Typography Tuesday
PLANTIN’S HEBREW AND GREEK ORNAMENTAL TYPE
The very-notable sixteenth-century Antwerp printer Christophe Plantin amassed an enormous collection of wood-cut ornamental initials for his many book projects, but when he embarked on the most ambitious project of his career, a multi-volume, folio-sized polyglot Bible for the king of Spain, he needed to have Hebrew and Greek initials cut for those languages. The floriated Hebrew and Greek initials shown here were designed for Plantin by French painter and draughtsman Geoffroy Ballain. The Hebrew font was cut by Cornelis Muller, from the noted family of Dutch engravers, and the Greek by the Flemish woodcut artist Arnold Nicolai.
These initials are from series 13 and 14 in the ornamental initials collection at the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp, and are drawn form the collection’s complete catalogue, Ornamental Initials, The Woodcut Initials of Christopher Plantin by the American type designer and stonecutter Stephen Harvard, published in 1974 by the American Friends of the Plantin-Moretus Museum in New York, and printed at the Stinehour Press with design and lettering by Stephen Harvard. The catalogue assembles, for the first time since the 16th century, the entire collection of decorative initials that Christophe Plantin acquired. Fifty-eight different series of initials are reproduced in their original size in the catalogue..
Our copy is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff.

Japonica Striped Corn, Candy Striped Corn Organic, Heirloom, Non-Gmo B10 Use the garnet red kernels to make cornmeal. An heirloom, ornamental variety from Japan grown for it's beautiful striped leaves. Japonica Striped Corn makes an excellent decorative border with wide spacing between plants. Corn has dark purple tassels and burgundy kernels. Count: 10 85-110 Days Full Sun Sprouts in 7-10 Days Seed Depth: 1-2" Ideal Temperature: 75-80 F Plant Spacing: 12" Plant Height: 6-7' Frost Hardy: No Zea mays This spectacular heirloom corn is one gorgeous plant. A rare Japanese strain with candy-striped leaves and burgundy kernels, its shiny foliage is ribbons of pink, green, and white, absolutely striking in a container or the back of a mixed border. The flashy plants look tropical, right at home with gingers. Japonica does produce corn, deep burgundy red cobs that make fabulous popcorn. This is a gorgeous plant from seeding to harvest. It's as easy to grow as any corn, but you don't need a farm to enjoy the lovely foliage. Grow some in a pot on the patio and enjoy it up close. Zea mays Pink Zebra - Dwarf variegated ornamental corn. Green and white striped foliage adds showy purples/red/pinks in cool nights/long days. The original seeds were brought from Japan in the mid 1800's. This is a true heirloom. Seeds can be started 3-4 weeks before the last frost indoors, or direct sow one week after last frost. Growing Tips: Direct sow into the richest soil available 1-2 weeks before last spring frost. Succession planting prolongs harvest; planting in blocks improves pollination. Direct sow outdoors after the threat of frost has passed, until mid-summer. Sow corn seeds directly 3-4 inches apart, in rows spaced 36 inches apart in blocks of at least 4 rows to insure proper pollination for kernel formation. Thin plants to indicate spacing if necessary. Corn requires fertile soil and little attention. Water during dry periods. http://springsofeden.myshopify.com/products/japonica-striped-corn-candy-striped-corn-organic-heirloom-non-gmo-b10
