SWEET CORN 



and as it is necessary to have some plants 

 grow in these spots, if possible, more seed 

 is given, so that there are more chances 

 for success. In the later seedings, less seed 

 is used, as the risk is not so great. 



After the seeds sprout and the seedlings 

 come through the ground, they may be 

 thinned to the required number in the hill, 

 generally three or four good, vigorous plants 

 being left. Where the greater amount of 

 seed is given, there is more opportunity 

 for better selection, as the greater number 

 of plants produced offers chances for closer 

 selection.
