SWEET C0RI1 



CULTURE — Sweet or Sugar Com may be -Utter planted one inch 

 deep in rows three or four feel apart, and the seeds placed about 

 eight inches apart in the rows, or planted in hills at distances of three or four feel each way, according 

 to the size of the variety grown. The taller the variety, or the richer the soil, tlie 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.

 ear characteristics of the original stock,

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-
