Warm weather, rich soil, and moderate moisture are best for corn, but a satisfactory crop can be grown in any garden if the 

 soil is deeply and thoroughly worked before planting. Sweet corn seed is likely to rot if planted in cold weather, so planting 

 should be governed by this fact. Seeds may be planted either in rows or hills. If planted in rows, they should be spaced from 

 2)/^ to 4 feet apart, depending on the height of the variety; seeds should be dropped at the rate of 5 or 6 to the foot, and 

 covered about 2 inches deep. If planting in hills, drop 5 or 6 seeds per hill and space the hills 3 feet apart each way. When 

 plants are 4 or 5 inches tall, thin from 8 to 12 inches apart and keep well hoed imtil the ears are set.

The sweetness and other excellent qualities of Charlevoix corn are not surpassed by any other variety.

 of cooking size in 71 days. The ears are 6 to 8 inches long, 

 slightly tapered, and uniformly 8 rowed. The kernels are

 long, with 14 to 18 rows of deep kernels borne < on strong

BLACK MEXICAN This is one of the richest flavored and
