SUGAR CORN; 
CULTURE — The Sweet or Sugar Corn Varieties, being liable to rot in cold or wet ground, should not 
be planted until the soil has become warm and dry. For a full supply for the table during the entire season, 
plant every ten days or two weeks until the last week in June in hills 2x3 feet apart for the early kinds, 
and 3x3 feet for the large late sorts. Some plant in rows 314 feet apart and 8 inches apart in the rows. 
Give frequent and thorough cultivation all the seasoa. Fully two weeks can be gained by starting Sweet 
Corn in pots or berry baskets, placing thera in a hot bed or cold frame. They should not be started too 
early; three weeks before it is safe to plant in the field is plenty soon enough. Plants should be well 
hardened o£f before they are removed from the hot-bed. In order to insure a good stand, put six seeds in each pot or basket, and later, after transplanting to the 
garden, thin out to three or four plants to the hill. Water well ten or twelve hours before transplanting, and, if handled carefully, the plants will not wilt or be seriously 
checked in growth. For a succession, plant seed in the open at the same time plants are put out. Two pounds of seed com plants 200 to 300 hills; 15 to 18 pounds will 
sow an acre. Plant seed about 1^ to 2 inches deep. By mail add 10c. per lb. and 5c. per 14 lb.

FIRST EARLY VARIETIES 
EWING'S "GOLDEN BANTAM" 
A Gem for the small garden. A small ear of remarkable quality and 
becoming each year more firmly fixed in popular favor because of its extreme 
early character, vigorous growth and surpassingly delicious flavor. It is pro- 
nounced by thousands of planters the finest extra-early sweet corn ever grown.

hard and firm, hence can be planted earlier than any other true Sweet Corn. The 
stalks are dwarf and sturdy in habit, growing to a height of four feet; they bear 
two and three good small ears, which have eight rows of broad yellow grains, 
extending to the extreme rounded lip.

Days to maturity, 78. Claimed to be a hybrid between Golden Bantam
