Country Gentleman Sweet Corn, 



CORN, SWEET OR SUGAR. 



Wdschkorn, Ger. A/ais, Fr. Miiiz, Sp. 



One quart will plant two hundred hills; eight to ten quarts for an a;re in hills. 



CULTURE. — The Sweet or Sugar varieties being liable to rot in cold or wet ground, should not be planted before May, or 

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

 manured ground, in hills 3 feet apart each way, covering about half an inch, and thin out to 3 jilants to a hill. The extra early 

 varieties can be planted 18 inches in the row ami 2,^ feet between the rows. In elevated and mountainous districts we would 

 recommend the Early and Second Early sorts only, and plantings to be made not later than June 20th to July 1st.
