SW EET ORNS SPEER ©’ BDAY.” 
The ears of Peep 0’ 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 feetin 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 
kernels 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 6inches apart and (if planted 
early) cover about 1 inch deep. Later plantings should be put in deeper. 
Eight to 10 quarts will plant an acre. |

Peep o’ Day Sweet Corn gave me good ears of the best flavored and 
sweetest very early corn that I have ever been able to get. I shall plant it 
again. Its far ahead oy. the Cory in earliness and sweetness.
