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 15.

Dreer’s Aristocrat. (See cut.) This delicious Sweet Corn’ was first introduced by us 
a few years ago. It is a reliable extra early sort, which was for many years controlled 
by a prominent gardener who supplies truck to the aristocrats of Newport, R. I. 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. By express or freight, at purchaser’s expense, lb., 40 cts.; 
2 lbs., 70 cts. (if wanted by Parcel Post add as stated at top of page); 10 lbs., $3.00. 
Golden Bantam, (See cut.) Grains are yellow and ears measure about five inches in 
length, but the smallness of the ears is fully made up by the deliciously sweet flavor 
and tender quality of the corn when cooked. It is a fine variety for the home garden.
