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 V2inch and 1 to 1 y% 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 Corn 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, gilt- 
edged stock, tipped, butted and tested. 
Dear Sir: I planted your Silver Beauty on May 2 and it is now ready to use (July 15). Almost every stalk has 3 ears and 
quite a number have s ears each. — E. C. Hummer, Camp Hill.
