SWEET COM 



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 plajiiings 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 kills; 12 to 15 lbs. per acre.
