HASTINGS’ SWEET AND ROASTING EAR CORN 
The grains of sweet corn are shriveled and rather tender and cannot be planted quite as 
^MlfcUre early as field varieties. Leaves on trees shouid be weii out and the ground warm l)efore 
pianting. Make hilis 2 V 2 to 3 feet apart each way, dropping 5 or (i grains in each hili, thinning out 
afterward to 2 or .3 stalks to the hill, according to the richness of your soii and moisture. A continu¬ 
ous suppiy can be kept up by eitlier pianting eariy, meiiium 
and late varieties at one time, or else by making several 
plantings at intervals of 15 days. Any good garden soil will 
grow sweet corn and no one who appreciates best quality 
can afford to be without a small patch of sweet corn. Quan¬ 
tity required: one pound to 200 hills; about 14 pounds per 
acre.
