THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 



if cut before they are too dry, makes excellent fod- 

 der for stock of any kind. 



Corn may be planted every two weeks, for a 

 succession, until the middle of July. 



For early corn, one must plant the extra early 

 varieties, such as the Cory, Golden Bantum, 

 Aristocrat, or the Early Evergreen, but for 

 toothsome sweetness there is no corn to equal 

 Stowell's Evergreen, and the later the season the 

 sweeter and better it is. We are now October 7th 

 eating Stowell's Evergreen that is far better and 

 sweeter than the earlier planting of the same vari- 

 ety, though we have had several sharp frosts frosts 

 that have bady cut the field corn; but the sweet 

 corn, being somewhat protected by trees, has suf- 

 fered little, if any, injury. 



Corn should be cultivated thoroughly and con- 

 stantly as long as it is safe to work among it; this 

 will admit of half a dozen cultivations each way 

 at least, and at the end of this time the ground 

 should be in the condition that few, if any, weeds 

 will appear.
