. 3#W<* Setter t^ut FRESH SWEET CORN 





Culture: Sweet or sugar corn may be either 

 planted 1 inch deep in roivs 3 or U feet apart, 

 with the seeds placed about 8 inches apart in 

 the rows, or planted in hills at distances of 3 or 

 h 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. Make 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. 1 lb. for 150 hills; 

 12 to 15 lbs. per acre.
