CORN, Sweet or Sugar 



Mais, Fr. 



Mah, Sp. 



Mais, Ger. 





One pound will plant about 100 hills, or 150 to 250 feet of row. 



CULTURE. —Seed of the sweet varieties 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 

 risk, as often the plants, when once up. escape injury by frost. Plant in hills 3 feet 

 apart each way, covering about half an inch and thin out to three plants to a hill, or 

 plant in rows 4 feet apart, and to stand 12 inches apart in the rows. For succession 

 plant every two weeks up to July 15th.
