CULTURE — Sweet or Sugar Com may be 

 either planted one inch deep in rows of three 

 or four feet apart, and the seeds placed about 

 eight Inches apart in the rows, or planted in 

 hills at distances of three or four feet each 

 way, according to the size of the variety 

 grown. The taller the variety, or the richer 

 the soil, the greater should be the distance 

 apart. We make our first plantings in this 

 vicinity about the middle of May and plant 

 every two or three weeks until the middle 

 of July. In more southerly latitudes planting 

 is begun earlier and continued later. The 

 earliest varieties are ready for the table in 

 eight or nine weeks from planting and the 

 late varieties in from eleven to twelve weeks.
