Sugar and Sweet 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 varieties may be either 

 sown one Inch deep in rews 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.
