"Book on garden vegetable varieties" Burr
This ancient variety was introduced in 1864. It is also known as "Black Aztec", "Mexican Sweet" and "Black Iroquois". It seems to have originated in New York State, from the Iroquois sweet corn known as "Black puckers". In 1863, the seed company Burr listed it in its catalog of vegetable varieties, and in the same year, James J. H. Gregory also listed it in his seed catalog. In 1875, J. J. H. Gregory said of this variety: "It is the sweetest and most tender to eat of all the varieties I know."
