J. M. Thorburn & Co., 15 John St., New York. 



CORN, SWEET or SUGAR. 



Mais. Maiz. Sftatg. 



Culture.— Plant in hills three feet apart each way, and five or six kernels in a hill. Hoe often and draw 



soil up to the stems ; break off side shoots. Make the ground 

 rich with well-rotted manure. Sown in drills, a greater yield 

 from a given surface will be obtained. The best fertilizer is Thor- 

 burn's Complete Manure. By sowing successive lots and properly 

 selected varieties, the supply of Sweet Corn can be kept up until 

 hard frosts kill the plants.
