The climbing snap beans may be planted in the 
hill with the tall-growing corn, or hills of pumpkins ; 
squashes or cucumbers may be made in every fourth 
hill and every third row, although the vines will be 
very much in the way of continued cultivation if the 
ground is inclined to be weedy. Sweet corn should 
not be planted within one hundred yards of field or 
pop-corn, as the pollen will be sure to mix and spoil 
the quality of the table corn. It will sometimes mix 
at greater distances, but this distance would be safe 
in most cases.

are much larger than either the Minnesota or Mar¬ 
blehead. The grains are well formed to the tip of

it is also superior.
