Barden's Wonder Bantam Corn — A Giant Golden Bantam and Just as Sweet. 



SWEET CORN 



Sweet Corn is the favorite crop in most 

 American gardens, and one of the easiest to 

 grow. A deeply dug, moderately rich, well 

 drained soil will give best results. Wait 

 until soil and weather are warm before 

 sowing; the middle of May is generally safe 

 for the yellow varieties and two weeks 

 later for the whites. 



Sow in rows 2y 2 to 3 feet apart; scatter 

 seeds 3 to 4 inches apart and cover 2 inches 

 deep, later thinning out to 1 foot apart in 

 the rows. Corn is also grown in hills 3 feet 

 apart each way for horse cultivation, leav- 

 ing three strong plants in each hill. Fre- 

 quent shallow cultivation is important — 

 more necessary with Corn, perhaps, than 

 with any other garden crop. 



For succession, make sowings every 10 

 days up to July 15. To insure good pollen- 

 ation and well filled ears, grow Corn in 

 several short rows, side by side, rather than 

 in one long row. 



One quart of seed will plant 200 hills, or 

 400 feet of row. 



If wanted by parcel post, add 8c per pt.; 

 10c per qt. 



Yellow Varieties
