CORN, Sweet or Sugar 



Waif) 



This delicious vegetable may be enjoyed from early summer until frost, if the proper Goldenrod Corn 



varieties are selected and planted for succession at intervals of every two weeks until the middle 



of July. If the seed is planted too early, before the ground becomes warm, it is liable to decay. Plant in hills 3 to 4 feet apart each way, five 

 or six kernels to a hill; or in rows 4 to 5 feet apart, scattering the seeds thinly in the rows. The taller growing the variety, the richer should 

 be the soil and the wider the space allowed for development. One quart will plant 200 hills.
