The early varieties of Corn intended for boiling when young, 
should be planted the middle of spring, in hills four feet apart, o¥ 
in drills. A shovel full of well-rotted manure should be placed in 
each hill, before the seed are planted, and after the plants are up 
strong, scatter a handful of wood-ashes around each hill. The 
ground should be dug deeply between the rows when the plants 
are about eighteen inches high. No. 1 is the best table Corn. 
Nos. 2 and 8 are the earliest. No. 5 is a productive kind for farm 
culture. To grow No. 1 of large size, and in full perfection, the 
ground should be in good condition and recently manured. For a 
succession crop, plant the latter end of spring.

This plant may be readily propagated by cutting the roots into 
sets, with two eyes each, and planting them, early in spring, in 
the same manner as Potatoes. To have them in perfection, they 
should be hoed frequently, and the ground kept loose around 
them. Care should be taken to gather them out clean when dig- 
ging for use, as the smallést particle left will grow and encumber 
the ground, without producing a crop worth standing.
