ws CORN, Sweet or Sugar =» 
Culture. Seed of the Sweet Corn is liable to rot if planted in wet or cold ground. Yet if we have an early warm spell in 
spring, it may pay to take some risks, as often the plants, when once up, will escape injury by a belated frost. Plant in hills 3 
feet apart each way, covering half an inch and thin out to 3 plants to a hill, or plant in rows 4 feet apart, 12 inches apart in the 
rows. For succession plant every two weeks up to July 15th. To protect from birds, Sweet Corn may be given a coating of 
Pine Tree Tar in the following manner: Place seed in vessel and add enough water to cover it; then stir in a teaspoonful of tar 
for each peck of seed. Drain on a sieve and add some land plaster. One pound will plant about 100 hills, or 150 to 
200 feet of row. :
