Sweet Corn 



If you are fond of sweet corn and would like 

 to furnish your dinner table with the most 

 delicious variety ever offered to the public, 

 you will do well to plant Ordway's Golden, 

 because this wonderful variety has all the 

 characteristics of the ideal corn, being early, 

 tender, juicy, and superlatively sweet, and on 

 account of which it has won favor in many 

 households. 



Carefully selected seed sent by return mail, 

 postpaid, at the following prices: Trial 

 packet, enough for 35 hills, 10c; half -pint, 

 20c; pint, 30c; quart, 60c.

beds for the first time is likely to uncover 

 them too late. He waits until the yellow 

 spears of tulips have begun to show above 

 the ground. No matter how hardy a plant 

 may be, it is tender in this condition and nice 

 judgment is required in order to uncover 

 bulb beds early enough to get the new shoots to 

 come up sturdy and green instead of spindly 

 and yellow. 



One way is to lift a little of the litter about 

 March 1st, and a little more a week later, 

 until about the end of the month the covering 

 is all off. Another way is to take all the 

 covering off when winter is clearly at an end 

 and before the young growths have appeared. 



In either case, it is well to keep the litter 

 handy for an emergency to use while the new 

 growths are in their tender stage. Then 

 if a freeze threatens you may cover them 

 quickly.

April-planted Sweet Corn that 

 was Picked June 30th 



A FEW years ago, I had sweet corn for 

 the table on June 30th at West Park, 

 N. Y. When I told my neighbors about it, 

 they said nothing — they thought I lied. The 

 previous record in our locality was July 25 th. 

 I got this corn without even the use of a hot- 



Sweet corn ready to eat on June 30th ; three weeKs 

 earlier than the local record. Started in boxes in- 

 doors April 20th 



bed, simply by using Peep-o'-Day variety 

 and planting on April 20th in boxes indoors. 

 Under each hill I put a shovel of well decom- 

 posed manure, and on the surface of the 

 ground I strewed wood ashes liberally and 

 worked them in thoroughly.
