CORN, Sweet or Sugar 



(3Kai3) 



This delicious vegetable may be enjoyed from eai-ly summer until frost, if the proper varieties are selected and planted for succession at 

 intervals of every two weeks until the middle of July. If the seed is planted too early, before the ground becomes warm, it is liable to decay. 

 Plant in hills 3 or 4 feet apart each way, five to six kernels to a hill; or in rows 4 to 5 feet apart, scattering the seeds thinly in the rows. The 

 taller-growing the variety, the richer should be the soil and the wider the space allowed for development. One quart will plant 200 hills. 



If to be sent by mail, add 10 cents per quart for postage. lO-cent packets of all kinds sent postpaid
