CORN, SWEET or SUGAR. 



Mais. Maiz. ma'v s . 



CULTURE. — Plant in hills 3 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 Thorburn's Complete Manure. By 



sowing successive lots and properly selecting varieties, the supply of Sweet Corn can be kept up until hard 

 frosts kill the plants.
