Hastings’ Sweet and Roasting Ear Corn 
Sweet 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 field varieties. These conditions 
given you will have no trouble in growing it successfully, and the finer quality you get makes it well worth 
giving it the extra cultivation. 
^ 'I.i The grains ot Sweet Corn are shriveled and can not be planted quite as early as the field varie- 
ties. Leaves on the trees should be well out and the ground warm before planting. Make hills 
2*4 to 3 feet apart each way. Drop 5 or 6 grains in each hill and thin out afterwards to 2 or 3 stalks to the hill, 
according to the richness 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 appreciates the best in quality can afford to be without at least a 
small patch of Sweet Corn. 
Georgia Roasting Ear 
If you 
want a n 
_ _ extra 
early “roasting ear” corn, something that will put good-sized 
corii 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 t ble appearance and is of fine 
flavor. On rich or well fertilized ground itmakes2to3 medium¬ 
sized ears to each stalk. Stalks grow 6 to6 feet high. You won't 
be disappointed if you plant our “Georgia Roasting Ear” for 
an early corn. Packet, 10 cts.; pint 25 cts.; quart, 45 cts.; po>t 
paid. Peck, not prepaid, 81.00; bushel, 83.7.5. 
Country Gentleman over‘?he®wun try de¬ 
clare this variety to be the best quality of all varieties of sweet 
corn. 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 Yexo. 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., 20c.; qt., 35c.; pk., 81.25; bu., 
84.50.

Adams’ Extra Early u^uan7cTassMt"h 
it. Valuable as coming in before any other variety. It is nat¬ 
urally small and unless planted in very rich soil and given 
high cultivation it will prove a failure. When properly grown 
it makes ears of fair size. Its greatest value is to the market 
gardener to bring in aheed of other sorts. Packet, 10 cents; 
pint. 20 cents; quart, 35 c, as; peck, 81.00; bushel, 83.60, 
T Similar to Adams’Extra Early, but 10 days later and produc- 
-‘^»^*4-*-*^** 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 the 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, $1.00; bushel. S3..50.
