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 us to take some risks. Often the plants, when once up, will escape injury by a belated light frost. Plant 
in warm soil, making the rows 3 feet apart for the dwarfer early sorts, and 4 feet apart for the taller late sorts. Hills to be 2 to3 
feet apart in the rows. For succession plant every two weeks up to July 15th. 
Packet of any variety of Sweet Corn, 10 cts., postpaid.

Dreer’s Aristocrat. (See cut.) This delicious 
Sweet Corn was first introduced by usa few years ago. 
It was for many years controlled by a prominent gar- 
dener who supplies truck to the aristocrats at Newport, 
R. I. He would not allow any of the seed to get 
into the hands of his competitors, thus having a mon- 
opoly, and as it was the finest Sweet Corn that came 
to the market, he found no difficulty in disposing of 
all he raised. It is an extra early variety, ripening 
with the Cory; stalks grow 4 to 6 feet high and ears 
are of large size, measuring 8 to 10 inches in length. 
The grains are extremely sweet, and, being decidedly 
broad, allow of easy scoring with a knife preparatory 
to buttering when eating from the cob. This is the 
most satisfactory early variety of Sweet Corn for 
home use. By express or freight, at purchaser’s
