FOR THE VEGETABI.E GARDEN. 



29 



CORN. 



(Sweet or Sugar.) 



One quart will plant two hundred 



hills; eight to ten quarts for 



an acre in hills. 



We have observed closely the maturing 

 of all varieties of Sugar Corn at our ex- 

 perimental grounds, Riverton, N. J., and 

 have classified them according to the time 

 of maturity. In elevated and mountainous 

 districts we would recommend the Extra 

 Early and Second Early sorts only, and 

 plantings to be made not later than June 

 20th to July 1st to insure a crop before frost. 



The .Sweet or Sugar varieties, being liable 

 to rot in cold or wet ground, should not 

 be planted before May, or until the 

 ground has become warm; for a succession 

 continue planting every two weeks until 

 the middle of July, in rich, well-manured 

 ground, in hills 3 feet apart each way, 

 covering about half an inch, and thin out 

 to three plants to a hill. The extra early 

 varieties can be planted 18 inches in the 

 row arid 2J feet between the rows.
