.SWEET OR SUGAR CORN.. 



CULTURE — This reqtiires a good soil and a warm 

 situation. Commence for first early by planting 

 the early varieties about May 1, and, if a con- 

 tinuous suppl}^ is wanted all summer, make plant- 

 ings about two weeks apart from May 1 until the 

 last of Julj% first planting early varieties, then later 

 ones. Plant in rows tiiree feet apart, and make 

 the hills about the same distance apart in the rows. 

 Five kernels in the hill are plenty. Cover about 1 

 inch deep for early, and a little deeper for late. 

 Thin to three plants in a hill. Give frequent and 

 thorough but shallow cultivation until the tassels 

 appear.
