SWEET CORR 



CULTURE — Sweet or Sugar Corn may be either planted one inch 

 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 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 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 to twelve weeks. 1 lb. for 150 hills; 12 to 15 lbs. per acre.

 is a hybrid, which has all the qualities and 

 ear characteristics of the original stock, 

 and in addition is more productive. 



Its luscious sweetness is the result of 

 many years of breeding; its unusual ten- 

 derness is due to the gossamer-like casing 

 of the kernels; its daintiness to the pencil- 

 like thickness of the cob; its attractive 

 appearance to its creamy yellow color. 



The plants are very uniform, about 5 J^ 

 feet high. Many stalks produce two full- 

 sized ears of 8 to 10 rows of kernels that 

 are about 8 to 9 inches long. It matures
