Country Gentleman Sweet Corn. 



CORN, SWEET OR SUGAR. 



Wdschkoni, Ger. Mais, Fr. Maiz, Sp. 

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

 The Sweet or Sugar varieties being liable to rot in cold or wet ground, should not be planted before iNIay, or un:il the ground 

 lias become warm ; for a succession continue planting 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 plants to a hill. The extra early varieties can be 

 planted 18 inches in the row und 2] feet between the rows. In elevated and mountainous districts we would recommend the Extra 

 E.u'ly and Second Early sorts only, and plantings to be made not later than June 20th to July 1st.
