LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1920. 17 
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. peg 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

much larger in the ear, running 8, 10 and 12-rowed, and is considered of much better qual- 
| ity. In sweetness of flavor it compares very favorably with the delicious Golden Bantam.
