WHITE MIDGET, accession number:Ames 1830. There is another one with this name, but the seeds were plumper, less wrinkled.
This is a dwarf 3-3.5, sometimes smaller than that, white sweet corn with 6 inches long small cobs.
As I discussed previously here, the seeds showed potential as they were more wrinkled than many se hybrids I have seen. Actually, almost all of them would be more true.
It held its promises, this is the best OP corn I have ever had in a long long time. Better than Astronomy Domine too ( sorry Alan), and AD is very good.
My merories of Golden Bantam are happy ones, so I will try it to compare it next year. I honestly thought I was eating an SE corn. Average size kernels with very tender pericarp. Very sweet and tasty
I have another accession and also one called WHITE MIDGET IMPROVED. They will get a go next year, and this one will come back for sure.

What is the length of time from seed to pollen shed? Time from seed to harvest? How many rows of kernels does it have?

Seed to pollen shed I did not mesure, about 65 days to harvest,10 rows if I remember well, I will verify, I was so happy to have corn to eat (planted over an acre and had about 12 up to now) I boiled it right back home and had a feast ;D,
