eyyppT CORN When order is to be sent by mail add 
postage at zone rate. Average weight, 
1 pint equals 1 lb.; 1 quart equals 2 lb. 
Cultural Hints . — Plant in a rich, warm soil, in rows 3 ft. apart 
for early sorts and 4 ft. apart for the late sorts. Place hills 2 to 
3 ft. apart in the rows. If we have an early warm period in spring 
it often pays to take some risks by sowing an early batch, as the 
plants, when once up, will often escape injury from belated frosts. 
May 15th is early enough to plant for seasonable crops. For suc- 
cession plant every two weeks to July 15th. 1 quart of seed will 
plant 200 hills 8 to 10 quarts to an acre.
