J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD. 

Sweet Corn 

Frotscher’s Adams’ Early. 
Corn is the most important food crop 
of the world for both man or beast and 
to have the best results, it is necessary 
to have first class Selected Seed to plant, 
and especially of such varieties as have 
been found from experience to be best 
adapted for the South. Cheap, poorly select- 
ed seed, usually produces a crop of very 
inferior quality so it always pays to plant 
the best. We handle all the best varieties 
of Seed Corn, and have them selected for 
us by growers who make this their 
business. 
CULTURE.—Plant in hills about three 
feet apart, drop four or five seeds and 
thin out to two or three. Plant for a suc- 
cession from February to June. Seed corn 
that is in perfect condition to-day may be 
unfit for use in three days, and we suggest 
that you spread out all seed corn the 
moment it is received from any seed 
house or grower. The following informa- 
tion was given us by an experienced Mis- 
souri farmer: The only way to keep corn 
free from weevils in a crib is to put a gal- 
lon of coal oil at the four corners of the 
Diamond 
‘Joe. 
Country 
Gentleman. 

Steckler’s 
French 
crib, taking the corks off and allowing the 
oil to evaporate... The fumes from the oil 
will keep away the weevils and will not 
impair the germination of the corn in any 
way. 1 quart to 500 hills, 8 quarts to the 
acre. Matures, in 70 to 110 days.
