CORN, Sweet or Sugar. 



Welichkom, Ger. Mais,, Fr. Mais, Sp. 



i qt. will plant 200 hills; 8 to 10 qts. to an acre, in hills. 



CULTURE. — Seed of the sweet varieties is liable to rot if planted in wet or 

 cold ground. Vet 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 bost. Plant in warm soil, making the rows 3 feet apart for the dwarfer 

 early sorts, and 4 feet apart for the taller late sons. Hills to be 2 to 3 feet apart 

 in the rows. For succession plant every two weeks up to July loth.
