BECKERT SEED AXD BULB COMPANY 



Golden Giant Sugae Corn 



CORN, SWEET or SUGAR 



If Wanted by Parcel Post add 8 Cts Per Pint; lo Cts. Per Quart. 

 One Quart Will Plant 200 Hills, or 400 Feet of Row. 



As the seed of Sugar Corn will rot quickly in cold wet 

 ground, it is best not to plant until the ground is warm and 

 dry. Have the rows 2 to 3 feet apart and sow the seed 2 inches 

 deep and 3 to 4 inches apart, later reducing the plants to stand 

 12 inches in the row. If sown in hills have the hills 2^/^ to 3 feet 

 apart each wa}', thinning out when the plants are 6 inches high 

 to the 3 strongest plants to a hill. For succession, plant every 

 10 days or 2 weeks up to July 15th.
