Planting Guide for pAU Sweet Corn 
Plant the seed after all danger of frost is over and the ground has become thoroughly warm. 
Plant in rows 2% to 4 ft. apart and the seed 8 in. apart in the rows; or put 4 seeds in a hill 
and space the hills 3 by 4 ft. apart. Cover seed with 1 in. of soil. If planted in hills, allow 
2 or 3 plants to remain in each hill. For a continuous supply of good fresh corn make succes- 
sional plantings every 10 to 14 days up to July 10. Allow enough time for your last planting 
to mature before your first expected frost. Never plant corn in a single row; it is necessary 
to plant several rows (3 or 4) side by side. Hybrids show many great advantages over old 
style varieties, but there is one point to remember. Do not save seed from a hybrid crop. 
Seed saved from a hybrid crop gives % less yield, loses uniformity, size, and vigor. Buy fresh 
hybrid seed annually. A packet will plant 4 rows, each 25 ft. long; 1 1b. for 200 hills; 127% Ibs.

939 BROOM CORN 
Adapted wherever field corn can be matured. Broom corn is strongly heat and 
drouth resistant; it looks like sorghum. The brush-like tassel is the part of the plant 
used for broom straw. Harvest at the dough stage, cure, and brush out the seeds.

Pop Corn 
237 South American Hybrid 
(120 days) Another real stride forward in pop corn breeding. This new 
hybrid yields 33% to over 50% more than regular South American, averag- 
ing 3000 to 4000 lbs. per acre. It has uniformly higher popping expansion 
than the old strain, which makes it tops in size. The ears and plants are 
uniform, with all ears popping well instead of variably as in open-pollinated 
corn. Ears run about 7 in. long, bright orange color, and good quality. For 
the biggest yield and most uniformly big popped kernels you ever saw, 
plant South American Hybrid this year.

241 Hybrid Jap Hulless % 
(105 days) Hybrid Jap Hulless is a product of the University of Minne- 
sota, and it is an ideal example of hybrid superiority. It outyields regular 
Jap Hulless by 16%, and that’s the least important advantage. The 
biggest step forward is the fact that although the kernels look the same 
they pop 29% larger by actual measurement. This hybrid has rapidly 
monopolized the quality pop corn market with its tenderness and free- 
dom from hulls. Kernels are white, and the ears are not over 4 in. long. 
Plants are short but stocky, and generally bear 2 or 3 ears per stalk. 
You probably will not be able to buy this wonderful Jap Hulless crop 
seed for popping, so the way to be sure to have some next winter is to 
grow it yourself. It’s worth the effort.
