Dreer's First of all Sweet Corn. 



CORN — Sweet or Sugar. 



One quart will plant two hundred hills ; 8 to 10 quarts for an acre in hills. 



We have observed closely the maturing of all varieties of Sugar Corn at our experimental 

 grounds, Riverton, N. J., and have classified them according to the time of maturity. 



The Sweet or Sugar varieties, being liable to rot in cold or wet ground, should not be 

 planted before May, or until the ground has become warm ; for a succession continue planting 

 every two weeks until the middle or July, in rich, well-manured ground, in hills 3 feet apart 

 each way, covering about half an inch, and thin out to three plants to a hill. The extra early 

 varieties can be planted 18 inches in the row and 2% f eet between the rows. 



In elevated and mountainous districts we would recommend the Extra Early and Second 

 Early sorts only, and plantings to be made not later than June 20th to July 1st to insure a 

 crop before frost.
