SWEET CORN 



Golden Bantam. 



Culture — Corn must have a good rich soil. In the back yard sarden 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 800 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- 

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