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. |
