Appetizing Sugar Corn 



Maiz (Ger.) Grano Turco (Ital.) 



One pound will plant 200 feet of row. 

 Corn, being a hot-weather product, should not be sown until the weather and ground 

 become warm, usually about the middle of May. To aid pollination, sow in several short rows 

 rather than in one long row, spacing rows 30 inches apart and dropping kernels every 6 inches, 

 covering them 1 inch. When plants reach a height of 6 to 8 inches, thin out to stand 1 foot 

 apart. For a continuous table supply sow the early varieties in succession up to July 4.
