Howling Mob Sweet Corn 



Goldenrod Sweet Corn 



CORN, Sweet or Sugar »««, 



_ This 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 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 to 4 feet apart each way, five or 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.
