Sweet Corn 



(Mais) 



Yellow Country Gentleman Sweet Corn 



Sweet Corn is a favorite crop in most American gardens, and one of the easiest 

 to grow. A deeply dug, moderately rich, well'drained soil will give best results. 

 Wait until soil and weather are warm before sowing; the middle of May is gen- 

 erally safe for the yellow varieties and 2 weeks later for the whites. 



Sow in rows 2Yi to 3 feet apart; scatter seeds 3 to 4 inches apart and cover 

 2 inches deep, later thinning out to 1 foot apart in the rows. Corn is also grown 

 in hills 3 feet apart each way for horse cultivation, leaving 3 strong plants in each 

 hill. Frequent shallow cultivation is important — more necessary with Corn, per- 

 haps, than with any other garden crop. 



For succession, make sowings every 10 days up to July 15th. To insure good 

 pollenation and well'filled ears, grow Corn in several short rows, side by side, 

 rather than in one long row. 



One pound of seed will plant 100 hills. 



If wanted by parcel post, add 8c per lb.
