CORN, Sweet or Sugar 



3Iais, Fr. 31aiz-, Sp. Mais, Ger 



One pound will plant about 100 hills, or 150 to 200 feet of row 



CULTURE. — Seed of Sweet Corn is liable to rot if planted in wet or csid ground. Yet 

 if we have an early warm spell in spring, it may pay us to take some risk, as often the 

 plants, when once up, will escape injury by a frost. Plant in hills 3 feet apart each way, 

 cohering about one-half of an inch and thin out to 3 plants to a bill, or plant in rows 4 feet 

 apart, plants to stand 12 inches apart in the rows. For succession plant every two weeks 

 up to July loth.

 that it is hardy and suitable for early planting. It is a rapid grower and produces ears 

 measuring about 5 inches, but thesmallness of the ears is fully made up by the deliciously 

 sweet flavor and tender quality of the Corn when cooked. It is a fine variety for the

 try Gentleman and 

 GoldenBantam, taking 

 on the character of the 

 former variety, except 

 in color. The ears are 

 ready for use at an 

 early season; grains are 

 long and pointed, rich 

 creamcolorwhenready, 

 but turn to light gol- 

 den-yellow when cook- 

 ed, making an attract- 

 ive appearance on the 

 table. The quality is 

 very fine, being re- 

 markably sweet and 

 tender. Stalks are 

 brownish-red, and 

 make a healthy, rapid 

 growth, producing 

 from 2 to 4 ears each.

 against yellow-grained Sugar Corn, but because of their de- 

 licious quality this has been overcome. "Golden Dawn" is

 and bear 2 and 3 ears, free from smut and filled out to the ex- 

 treme tip. By express or freight, at purchaser's expense, lb.,
