Move over
normal, sugary enhanced and supersweet types...

Novartis Seeds has developed an entirely new endosperm that combines the benefits of homozygous sugary enhanced varieties and supersweet varieties.

Our first TripleSweet™ introduction, a bicolor called Serendipity, is already available. 

Novartis Seeds boosts its new TripleSweet™ line of sweet corn with the release of Honey Select, a 2001 All America Selection® Award winner, and the second variety in this unique series.

 

 

Trialed extensively throughout the U.S. over the past three years, Honey Select has proved itself worthy of this prestigious award.

Its large, refined ears mature mid season and deliver 18 to 20 rows of bright yellow, sugary-enhanced kernels packed with flavor– plus, it delivers exceptional eating quality, due to its TripleSweet™ heritage.

Medium green husks and good flags add value to this variety’s customer appeal. Honey Select‘s unique characteristics make it an ideal choice for roadside markets and local shipping.

Seed of Honey Select will be available from ROGERS® Brand dealers after May 1, 2000.

Both Honey Select and Serendipity, an earlier bi-color TripleSweet™ variety, are part of an entirely new endosperm class that combines the exceptional tenderness and flavor of a sugary-enhanced type with extra sweetness and extended shelf life. Twenty-five percent of each TripleSweet™ variety’s kernels have supersweet genetics which enhance its flavor and holding ability. Consequently, TripleSweet™ varieties tend to be harvested over a longer period and deliver more consistent, long-lasting sweetness than sugary-enhanced varieties, even under stress from high temperatures.
