 Culture. — Plant in hills three feet apart each way, and five or si 



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 Thorburn's Complete Manure. By sow- 

 ing successive lots and properly selecting varieties, the 

 supply of Sweet Corn can be kept up until hard frosts 

 kill the plants.
