CORN—Table Varieties 
(FIELD CORN—Page 39) 
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 
than 3 plants stand to a hill. The size of the variety and the richness of the 
soil should determine the distance of planting. Cultivate frequently and 
thoroughly but shallow until the tassels appear.
