 CULTURE. — Seed of the sweet varieties is liable to rot if planted in wet or cold ground. Yet if we have an early wane 

 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 b« 

 2 to 3 feet apart in the rows. For succession plant every two weeks up to July 15th.

 Corn was first introduced by us a few years ago. I

 controlled by a prominent gardener who supplies truck 

 to the aristocrats at Newport, R. 1. He would nol 

 allow any of the seed to get into the hands of his cona 

 petitors, thus having a monopoly, and as it was th# 

 finest Sweet Com that came to the market, he founi.

 4 to 6 feet high and ears are of large size, measuring
