Cultural Directions. —All varieties of Sweet or Sugar Corn may 
be either sown one inch deep in rows three to four feet apart, and the 
seeds placed about eight inches apart in the rows, or planted in hills 
at distances three or four feet each way, according to the size of the 
variety grown or the richness of the soil in which it is planted. The 
taller the variety, or the richer the soil, the greater should be the 
distance apart. We make our first plantings in this vicinity about the 
first of May and continue successive plantings every two or three 
weeks until the last week in July. In more Southern latitudes plant¬ 
ing is begun earlier and continued later. The earliest varieties of 
Sweet Corn are ready for the table in eight or nine weeks from the 
seed sowing and the late varieties from eleven to twelve weeks.
