(SWEET OR SUGAR) 
CULTURE.—Plant in hills 3 ft. apart each 
way, and five or six kernels in a hill. Hoe 
often, drawing soil up to stem after first hoe¬ 
ing. Break off side shoots. Make ground very 
rich. If stable manure is used, it is perhaps 
best to plow it under. Use broadcast or in 
the hill Our Garden Fertilizer, worked well 
into soil. It has been found very beneficial 
to sow these fertilizers between the rows be¬ 
fore cultivating and hoeing the second time. 
We have been very careful in selecting the 
best and sweetest varieties of corn adapted 
to this section. The list below is arranged in 
order as they would mature. If two or more 
varieties are selected and planted at the 
same time, they would be ready for the table 
at different times, one following the other.
