 and can be planted about the middle of April, and is the first corn 

 that appears in the market, but cannot compare with the Sugar^ 

 or the Evergreen, which are, without question, the best for table use.

 ground, should not be planted until May, and for a succession, 

 continue planting every two weeks, until the middle of July, 

 in well-manured ground, in hills three feet apart.
