Overview
Golden Nugget is an early open-pollinated yellow corn with tiny 4-inch ears, 3 to 5 per plant, on 3-foot stalks, listed at 55 days. A Rogers Brothers record from 1951 gives a very different picture (88 days, 16 rows), so it may be a different variety under the same name. The small plants suit a container or a tight garden.
