Welschkorn, Ger. 



Alms, Fr. Maiz, Sp. 



CULTUf^E. — The Sweet or Sugar varieties, being liable to rot in cold or wet gioiuid, sliuulj not be planted before May, or 

 until the ground has become warm; for a succession continue planting every two weeks until the middle of July, in rich, well- 

 manured ground, in hills 3 feet apart each way, covering early sorts 1 inch, large and late sorts 1 J inches, and thin out to 3 plants- 

 to a hill. The extra early varieties can be planted 18 inches in the row and 2i feet between the rows. In elevated and moun- 

 tairKOUS districts we would recommend the Extra Early and Second Early Surts only, and plantings to be made not later than June 

 20tli to July 1st. 

 One quart will plant 200 hills ; 8 to 10 quarts to an acre. Packet of any variety of Sweet Corre, lOcts., postpaid.
