| More uniform performer than Silver Queen and 10 days earlier. I also plant Silver Princess, Silver King, and Silver Queen to get an extended harvest period without the bother of successive plantings. works like a charm. If I had to make a choice I would choose Silver King over Silver Queen. But the combo is ideal for me. |

| Very sweet and a heavy producer over about a two week period. Plant a block of Silver King, Silver Queen and Silver Princess for a longer crop. |
