Hastings’ Sweet and Roasting Ear Corn 
Swc'et and Sugar Corn can be grown successfully in the South, notwithstanding the general opinion to the 
contrary. It requires either richer ground or higher fertilizing than the held varieties. These conditions given 
you will have no trouble in growing it successfully and the hner quality you get makes it well worth giving it 
the extra cultivation. 
The grains of Sweet Corn are shriveled and can not be planted quite as early as thefieldvarle- 
^ ties. Leaves on the trees should be well out and the ground warm before planting. Make hills 
2]^ to 3 feet apart each way. lirop 5 or 6 grains in each hill and thin out afterwards to 2 or 3 stalks to the hill, 
according to tile richne.ss of your soil. A continuous supply should be arranged for either by planting early, 
medium and late varieties, or else by making several plantings at intervals of 10 days. Any good garden soil 
will grow sweet corn, and no family that ajjpreciates the be,st in quality can ail'ord to be without at least a 
small patch of Sweet Corn. Quantity required 1 pint to 200 hills; about 6 quarts per acre. 
Georgia Roasting Ear r/Si 
early “roasting ear” corn, something that will put good-sized 
corn on your table in about 60 days from planting, this is the 
variety you want. It’s a whole lot better than the Adams’ Ex¬ 
tra Early. This is one of our own introductions, makes a fair¬ 
sized ear of fine market and table appearance and is of tine 
flavor. On rich or well fertilized ground it makes 2to 3medium- 
sized ears to each stalk. Stalks grow 5 to 6 feet high. You won’t 
be disappointed if you plant our ■■(leorgia Roasting Ear” for an 
early corn. Lo not plant this for a late corn. Packet, lOcents; 
pint. 25 cents; quart, 45 cents; postpaid. Peck, not prepaid, 
ll.OO; bushel, 83.75. 
Country Gentlemen ii'i 
dare this variety to be the best quality of alt varieties ot sweet 
com. Our own experience and that of several hundreds of our 
Atlanta gardeners confirm this opinion. It is one of the finest 
flavored and makes from 3 to 4 good-sized ears to the stalk when 
properly cultivated. Grains are small, much shriveled, but 
very deep. Cob very small. It matures in mid-.season just after 
Y’exo, and just before Stowell’s Evergreen. This, together with 
these two varieties make a splendid succession for family use, 
all of them being strong, productive growers, tender and of 
finest flavor. Pkt., 10c.; pt., 25c.; qt., 45c.; pk., 81.25; bu., 84.50.

Yexio Sngar Com 
Adams’ Extra Early 
Not a sweet corn, but 
usually classed with 
it. Valuable as coming in before any sweet variety. It is nat¬ 
urally small and unle.vs planted in very rich soil and given high 
cultivation it will prove a failure. When projierly grown it 
makes ears of fair size. Its greate.st value is to the market 
gardener to bring in ahead of other sorts. Packet. 10 cents; pint, 
20 cents; quart, 35 cents; peck, 8LU0; bushel, 83.50. 
A T Similar to Adams’Extra Early, but 10 days later and produc- 
xVUdillo Xhdny Ing much larger ears. Hardier than any of the sweet corns 
and can be planted earlier. Has small stalks and can be planted close. More valuable for the market 
than for home gardens as this, as well as tUe Extra Early Adams, lacks the fineness of flavor found in 
the sweet varieties, neither are they sure croppers unless given the highest cultivation. Packet, 10 
cents; pint,20 cents; quart, 35 cents; peck, 81.00; bushel, 83.50.
