SWEET CORN 



Warm weather, rich soil, and moderate moisture are best for corn, but a satis- 

 factory 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 2J4 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 until 

 the ears are set. 



Not less than 5 lbs. of a variety sold at the 10 lb. rate.

 medium to large, 8 or 9 inches long, and are protected by strong husks.

 a rich sweet flavor.

BLACK MEXICAN This is one of the richest flavored and tenderest of sweet

 are ready for the table in 88 days. As a midseason variety this will prove
