CORN—Table Varieties 
1 quart to 200 hills; 1 peck per acre. 
Sugar Corn should not be planted until May, or when the ground is warm. 
For succession, plant about every two weeks until the last of July. All varie- 
ties may be either sown one inch deep in rows three to four feet apart, the 
seeds being placed about 8 inches apart in the rows, or they may be planted 
in hills at distances of three or four feet apart each way, allowing not more 
Corn. 
Manns’ No. 56—Note the low position of 
the ears, an evidence of extreme earliness. 
Very deep grains, small cob 
Country Gentleman and exceedingly rich flavor. 
Often produces 8 to 4 ears to the stalk. The grains are 
“staggered” on the cob, leaving no signs of rows. 
GROW HYBRIDIZED VARIETIES 
OF KNOWN ADAPTABILITY 
The increased cost is only about $2.00 more per acre, but the 
yield is increased 25% or more. Practically all of the larger 
canning companies are now planting Hybrid Corn because of 
the certainty of a better yield and much better quality. It 
is important, however, to plant only seed grown by an expert 
hybridist as hybrid corn is not necessarily all desirable. The 
process is expensive, highly technical and requires the skill 
of a plant breeder. Buy Manns’ hybridized corn; it has been 
grown by experts and has proven profitable for this section. 
Please Note—It is useless to try to save seed from hybrid 
varieties of corn. They must be newly developed each year.

8-inch ears having 10 to 14 rows of golden yellow kernels. 
It is resistant to wilt or Stewart’s disease and is now the 
standard strain grown for the largest canners. As the crop 
matures at nearly the same time, it should be planted at 
intervals of a week or ten days to assure a continuous 
supply.

the Iowa Experiment Station, a few days later than 
Golden Cross. Ears about 8 inches long, 12 to 14 rowed,
