SWEET CORN 
HOW TO GROW SWEET CORN.— Prepare the soil thoroughly; enrich it by working in manure. Corn needs it. Wizard Brand 
Pulverized Sheep Manure is fine for Com (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 
Uian 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 Vzinch and 1 to 1 Vz 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 everv two 
weeks up to July 15. One quart will plant 200 hills; 10 quarts to an acre. iwx 
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. 
1 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 carefuUy selected, gilt- 
edged stock, tipped, butted and tested. 
EXTRA-EARLY VARIETIES, ready for market in ss to es days 
I'S New SilVef BeautU "^^^ sweetest, largest, and grandest extra-early Sweet Corn that 
, 21 has, in my judgment, up to this time, been introduced. When 
id weather conditions have been just right for planting, germination and growth, this splendid Sweet Corn, 
Beauty, will be ready for market in about nine weeks, or from sixty to seventy days, as early as the small- 
varieties, while the ears are almost twice as large, averaging lo inches in length. It is a Corn grown and 
to perfection. Its beautiful, silvery white rows of big, deep grains make it sell on sight. Its earliness and 
quality bring highest prices. By making two or three plantings, ten days apart, you will have a continuous supply 
until Stowell's Evergreen, the big late Corn, comes in. Grow it this year and have the best and largest early 
Sweet Corn on the market. In planting this very early, while the soil is still real aioist, cover only lightly It 
will come through quicker and push right ahead. (See next page also.) Pkt.llO cis., pt. 25 cts., qt. 50 cts..
