SWEET CORN 



Golden Bantam. 



Ciiltiirf — 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 

 wlien up thin out to 12 inclies. preferably leaving' only one plant in each hill. Failures are 

 chielly attriliutable 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 tlie 

 larger roots are not cut or dfsturbed. At tlie last cultivation it is better to hill ratlier 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.
