SWEET CORN. " PEEP O' DAY." 



The ears of Peep o' Day corn average about 6 inches in length and are 

 perfect in form. In habit of growth Peep o' Day is very distinct. The 

 stalks grow from 3 to 4 feet in height, 3 to 5 ears on the stalk. The stalks 

 being so small they may be allowed to stand very closely together. The 

 seed may be planted either in hills or in rows. If the former, plant 6 or 7 

 kerneb in a hill, later thinning out so as to leave 4 plants to each hill. If 

 in rows and not in hills, drop the seed about 6 inches apart and (if planted 

 early) cover about l inch deep. Later plantings should be put in deeper. 

 Eight to 10 quarts will plant an acre.
