Burpee's Sweet Corn 
Sweet Corn is one of the most satisfactory vegetables for the home garden and one of the most profitable for the market 
gardener. Plant the seed, after all danger of frost has passed, in rows 2 to 4 ft. apart, and space the seed 3 to 4 in. apart in 
row or plant in hills 3 to 4 ft. apart. Cover with 1 to 2 in. of fine soil. For a continuous supply, sow varieties which 
will mature in succession and also make succession sowings every 10 to 14 days up to July 1. One lb. of seed spaced by 
hand will give 500 ft. of row; 10 lbs. are needed to plant one acre. The extra-early (EE) varieties of Sweet Corn mature 
in 65 to 75 days. The early (E) varieties mature in 76 to 85 days. The midseason (M) varieties require 86 to 95 days 
and the late (L) varieties 96 to 110 days; the very late (VL) varieties 120 days and more. _
