A small printed label for Gilt Edge Sugar Corn, issued by C.G. Sawyer of Wilton, Maine, offers a glimpse of the local seed trade that supplied farms and kitchen gardens across rural New England. Sweet corn was a prized crop in the region, and labels like this one told buyers the variety and the name of the seller. Its place on a Thanksgiving board points to the harvest table, where home-grown produce such as corn and squash marked the season's abundance.
