The different varieties of early Corn intended for boiling 
when young, or others as curiosities, may be planted in the 
garden the last week in April, or early in May, in hills four 
feet apart, or in drills. If some of each esteemed variety be 
planted in separate beds at the same time, they will come in 
for the table one after the other in regular succession. After 
this, if any particular variety be preferred, it may be planted 
at different times in the month of May and June. If the 
ground be poor, mix a shovelful of old manure with the 
earth in each hill before the seed are planted, and after the 
plants are up strong, scatter a tea-cup full of wood ashes 
around each hill. This, with attentive hoeing and hilling, 
will cause it to produce ears early. Deep digging or plough 
ing between the hills is very beneficial when the corn is about 
eighteen inches high.

gated by cutting the roots into sets, with two eyes in each, 
and planting them in the same manner as Potatoes, in March 
and April. To have them in perfection, they should be hoed
