Sweet Corn 
DO YOU KNOW WHY HOME GROWN SWEET CORN ALWAYS TASTES BEST? Because within 
a few hours after the tender ears are pulled off the stalk they begin to lose their sugar and they rapidly 
deteriorate in flavor. You can seldom buy absolutely fresh sweet corn — so unless you have grown your 
own, you probably do not realize how deliciously sweet it can be. 
Culture. A constant supply of sweet corn may be had from your garden by planting a succession of early, 
midseason and late varieties and by planting each of the kinds every week or ten days. Plant after all 
danger of frost is past and the ground is warm, in rows 2 to 3 feet apart and 8 to 10 inches apart in the 
row. Corn likes frequent cultivation until the ears are formed. 
Quantity of Seed. 1 lb. will plant about 300 hills or 400 to 500 feet of row. 12 to 15 lbs. will plant an acre.

New Hybrid Sweet Corns 
We are now able to offer for the first time, new 
strains of Hybrid Sweet Corn that are the results of 
many years of experimental crossing and breeding. 
Increase Yields 50% or more 
The advantages to you in planting Hybrid Corns 
are briefly as follows: They produce vigorous sturdy 
and disease resistant plants, no weak plants, no 
nubbins. These desirable features enable this kind 
of corn to outyield the standard varieties under all 
sorts of conditions. 
The stalks are very uniform and there is a 
much larger proportion of marketable ears of even 
size and shape. The uniformity and vigor of the 
plant growth means uniform maturity so that the 
gardener can harvest the crop with a minimum of 
immature or over ripe ears. 
We recommend the following varieties:
