sorry...
 but corn is *so* promiscuous... although if they flower at 
different times you should be ok.
 besides, even dent corn is ok 'on the cob' if you pick it 
young enough & cook it right away. no need to be paranoid.

 i started my last 6 white cu***ber seeds. a mouse got into 
the enclosed ****ch & ate them, & all my gourd, melons & 
pumpkins. i can replant the others, but i have no more 
heirloom white cu***ber :(
