 and can be planted about the middle of April, and is the first corn 

 that appears in the market, but cannot compare with the Sagar, 

 or the Evergreen, which are, without question, the best for table use. 



The Sweet or Sugar varieties being liable to rot in cold or wet 

 ground, should not be planted until Maj, and for a succession, 

 continue planting every two weeks, until the middle of Jeil v,' 

 in well-manured ground, in hills three feet apart.
