Overview
Quickie is Crookham's very early bicolor from 1989, listed at 58 days. Genetically it sits in the normal su1 group with a little sugary-enhancer input to improve eating quality, though seed catalogs often simply call it se. The 7-inch ears carry 12 to 14 rows on short 5-foot plants, and it germinates well in cool soil, which is what you want from a first sowing. Similar to Sprite.
