(SWEET or SUGAR.) 



(TOaij.) 



HIS delicious vegetable may be enjoyed 

 from early summer until frost if the 

 proper varieties are selected and planted 

 for succession at intervals of every two 

 weeks from May until the middle of July. 



If the seed is planted too early, before White Cory, 



the ground becomes warm, it is liable 



to decay. Plant in hills 3 or 4 feet apart each way, 5 or 6 kernels to a 

 hill ; or, in rows 4 or 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.
