Narrative
Named after a French family in Canada. Originated from the Red River Valley Metis Indians on the Canadian side of the border (St. Boniface, Manitoba). It was probably largely of mixed Mandan ancestry. It was taken to Prince Albert, Saskatchewan in the early 1900's, and grown there since. The donor ranks it with the fastest maturing corns in the world, yet it is significantly larger cobbed than most and outyields "Gaspe". It has about 2-3 suckers, usually of more male type (better) than other Canadian native corns. Kernels were of several types in this order: flint, dent, sweet, and flour. Colors were yellow, due to recent seletion, with some blue, white, and purple. Donor selected for blue, flint, and flour for one year. The lysine content (protein) in the flour kernels tested higher than average (good for nutrition).
