SWEET CORN. 



German, Welschkorn. — French, Mais. — Spanish, Maiz. 

 One quart will plant two hundred hills ; eight quarts for one acre in hills. 



Corn revels in a warm and rich soil, and nothing is gained by planting before the ground has 

 become warm. All varieties of sweet corn may be either sown in rows four and a half feet apart, 

 and the seed planted at about eight inches in the rows, or planted in hills at distances of three or 

 four feet each way, according to the variety grown, or the richness of the soil in which it is planted. 

 The taller the variety, or richer the soil, the greater should be the distance apart. 



Add 15 cents per pint, or 25 cents per quart, extra, if to be sent by mail. 

 Price of ears, any variety, 5 cents each; add 10 cents extra if by mail.

SWEET CORN FOR GREEN FODDER CROPS. 



Three bushels will sow one acre broadcast ; half a bushel, if sown in drills. 



All owners of cattle will find this, the cheapest and best crop to grow for feeding to stock in 

 a green state during the summer months, helping out the shortness of summer feed, and keeping 

 up a supply of milk. It is far better than the Southern Dent, or flat corn, being much more nutri- 

 tious. Also, being so sweet and palatable, cattle eat every part of the stalks and leaves, leaving 

 no waste, as is usual with other varieties.
