SWEET CORN 



Golden Itnntam. 



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

 cannot penetrate to the roots readily plant 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 advances; by so doing the 

 larger roots are not cut or disturbed. At the last cultivation it is better to hill rather than 

 to cultivate 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 or 300 hills. 12 to 15 lbs. per acre.

 the Eastern States, where it is by ten days the earliest Sweet Corn grown, and is always

 much larger in "the ear, running S. 10 and 12-rowed, and is considered of iriiich better qual- 

 ity. In sweetness of flavor it compares very favorably with the delicious Golden Bantam.
