Are you growing them for food because if not you can grow Jala Valley landrace maize, mexican june maize for fun? See below http://bigpumpkins.com/msgboard/ViewThread.asp?b=12&p=139076

Ambrosia, Arrowhead, the best I've ever tasted.

Gotta go with the Silver Queen for the white corn, If ya wanna try a BI-color, try the Northern extra sweet bicolor hybrid from Gurney's. I never did well with sweet corn til I tried these 2 varieties, and I have had VERY good sweet corn the past couple of years. Good luck with whatever you pick!!

Look for one that is labeled "SH2" for extra sweetness, and without the stale taste. Most of them are this type now.

Personally, I prefer to young field corn to sweet corn. When picked while still young, but filled out, it is super sweet! Ears are usually bigger too.
