SWEET CORN 
(3utfetmotS) 
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 1/2 inch, and 1 to 1 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. 
PLEASE NOTE. The Sweet Com seed crop is the shortest it has been for many years. I advise that you order early enough 
to see you through the season. 
Note. — I guarantee my Com 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 i.s liable to rot if planted in too wet or cold ground. My Sweet Corn Is all carefully selected, gilt- 
edge stock, tipped and butted. 
Martin Cope's Sons, Lancaster Co., large growers of Sweet Com, say: "The Stowell's Evergreen seed we got from you was the 
finest we ever got anywhere." f 
EXTRA-EARLY VARIETIES ready for market m ss to es days 
Schell's New Silver Beauty 
The sweetest, largest, ana 
andest extra-early Sweet Corn that has, in my judgment, up to this 
time, been introduced 
When soil and weather conditions have been just right for planting, germination and growth, this splendid 
Sweet Corn. Silver Beauty, will be ready for market in about nine weeks, or from sixty to seventy days, as early 
as the small-eared varieties, while the ears are almost twice as large, averaging 10 inches in length. It is a Corn 
grown and bred to perfection. Its beautiful, silvery white rows of big, deep grains make it sell on sight. Its earli- 
ness and quality bring highest prices. By making two or three plantings, ten days apart, you will have a contin- 
uous supply until Stowell's Evergreen, the big late Corn, comes in. Grow it this year and have the best and large.st 
early Sweet Corn on the market. In planting this very early, wMle the soil is still real moist, cover only lightly. 
It will come through quicker and push right ahead. Pktu 10 ct/., pt. 35 cts., qt. 70 cts., 2 qts. $1.40, 4 qts.

Cw/A<:kf C t\rr\ another one of the 
grown in large quantities at the last planting 
for drying or evaporating for winter food. No 
gardener or faimer 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 
com for winter food worth 50 cents.
