CORN.

The varieties of Sweet Corn may be either sown in rows four and a half feet apart, 

 and the seeds planted at about eight inches in the rows, or planted in hills at distances 

 of three or four feet each way, according to the variety grown, or the richness of the 

 soil in which it is planted. The taller the variety, or richer the soil, the greater should 

 be the distance apart. We make our first plantings in this vicinity about the middle 

 of May, and continue successive plantings every two or three weeks, until the first week 

 in July. In more southerly latitudes, planting is begun a month earlier, and continued 

 a month later.
