SWEET CORN 
HOW TO GROW SWEET CORN.— Prepare the soil thoroughly; enrich it by working in manure. Com needs it. Wizard 
Brand Pulverized Sheep Manure is fine for Corn (we have it). For horse cultivation, make rows 3 feet apart, for the home-garden 
2 feet apart, and plant the hills from 1 to 2 feet apart in the rows. The early varieties, producing smaller stalks, can be planted 
closer than the big late Corns. If planted very early, before the soil is warm, of course you take some risk of the seed rotting. If 
it does, don't blame the seed; remember that you took a risk against nature. Most gardeners take such a risk in order to get 
very early crops. Cover seed lightly when planted early — about V2 inch, and 1 to I V2 inches when soil is warm, and deeper in 
summer when soil is dry. Remember that seed needs moisture and warmth to germinate it. To have Com all season, plant every 
two weeks up to July 15. One quart will plant 200 hills; 10 quarts to an acre. 
Note. — I guarantee my Corn to germinate. After you get it. plant twenty-five seeds in a box or flower- 
pot, attend to it properly, and prove to your own satisfaction that my seed will germinate satisfactorily, as I say. 
I cannot, however, guarantee the crop against weather and soil conditions. These are beyond my control. Sweet 
Corn seed is liable to rot if planted in too wet or cold ground. My Sweet Corn is all carefully selected, gUt- 
edged stock, tipped and butted. 
July IS. 1918. Dear Sir; I planted your Silver Beauty on May 2 and it is now ready to use. Almost every stalk has 3 ears 
and quite a number have s ears each. — E. C. Hummer, Cap»^ Hill.

extra-early Sweet Corn that has, in my judgment, up to this 
time, been introduced 
When soil and \ycatj)^ cortditions have been just right for planting, germination and growth, this splendid 
Sweet Corn, Silver Beautyy^vill be ready for market in about nine weeks, or from sixty to seventy days, as early 
as the small-e^ed varieties/ whfle the ears are almost twice as large, averaging 10 inches in length. It is a Corn 
grown and breo to petfecti^n. Ats beautiful, silvery white rows of big, deep grains make it sell on sight. Its earli- 
ness and qualify brinf?^ighesjrprices. By making two or three plantiags. ten days apart, you will have a contin- 
uous supply until Stowell's^Bfrergreen, the big late Corn, comes iii. Girow it this year and have the best and largest 
early Sweet Cani on the,^tket. In planting this very early, whjlp the soil is still real moist, cover only lightly.

Sweet Corn T t T 
crops that should be 
grown in large quantities at the last planting 
for drying or evaporating for winter food. No 
gardener or farmer can grow too much for 
this purpose; it is needed, and a ready mar- 
ket will take all you grow. Do not hesitate 
to plant much because of the high price of 
the seed, for it takes but 10 quarts to the 
acre, which should produce for you a most 
profitable crop. A dozen ears of Stowell's 
Evergreen will make a quart of evaporated 
corn for winter food worth 50 cents.
