LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1919. 



17 



Culture — Corn must have a good rich soil. In the back yard garden where light and 

 air cannot penetrate to the roots readily planting one or two kernels every 6 inches 

 apart and when up thin out to 12 inches, preferably leaving only one plant in each hill. 

 Failures are chiefly attributable to close planting. Sow one to two inches deep and 

 cultivate fairly deep when above ground, gradually reducing depth as the season ad- 

 vances, by so doing the larger roots are not cut nor disturbed. At the last cultivation 

 it is better to hill rather than to get too close to the plants. One pound to every 250 

 hills where space is not so limited as a back yard garden, or if sown in rows one pound 

 will suffice for a 200 foot drill. Twelve to 15 lbs. per acre. 



CORN— SWEET 



EARLY MAYFLOWER — A new variety in the West, but raised in large quantities in some of the Eastern States, where it is by 

 ten days the earliest Sweet Corn grown, and is always the first variety on the market. It is six inches to a foot dwarfer 

 than Early Cory, very much larger in the ear, running 8, 10 and 12-rowed, and is considered of much better quality. In 

 sweetness of flavor it compares very favorably with the delijious Golden Bantam. Pkt. 10c; 1 lb. 45c, (by mail 52c); 2 lbs.
