LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1926. 19 
SWEET CORN 
Culture—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 { 
ehiefly attributable to close planting. Sow one to two inches deep and cultivate fairly deep j 
when above ground, gradually reducing depth as the season advances; by so doing the i 
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. | 
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 qual- i 
ity. In sweetness of flavor it compares very favorably with the delicious Golden Bantam. |
