& iy é E T C 0 R CULTURE—Sweet or Sugar Corn may be either planted one inch 
; 7 deep in rows 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 bé 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 last week in 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 lo twelve weeks. 1 lb. for 150 hills; 12 to 15: lbs. per acre. ~

Sow your favorite varieties every two weeks to insure a steady flow of fresh

Sunlite and Cream-O-Gold on the same dates and thus insure a steady supply of 
fresh corn for many weeks.
