MY SWEET CORN IS ALL CAREFULLY SELECTED 
GILT-EDGED STOCK, TIPPED AND TESTED 
HOW TO GROW SWEET CORN—Prepare the soil 
thoroughly; enrich it by working in manure. Corn needs it. 
Wizard Brand Pulverized Sheep Manure is fine for Corn (we 
have it). For horse cultivation, make rows 3 feet apart, for the home-garden 2 feet apart, and plant the hills from 1 to 2 feet apart 
in the rows. The early varieties, producing smaller stalks, can be planted closer than the big late Corns. If planted very early, 
before the soil is warm, of course you take some risk of the seed rotting. If it does, don’t blame the seed; remember that you 
took a risk against nature. Most gardeners take such a risk in order to get very early crops. Cover seed lightly when planted 
early—about Viinch and 1 to 1 V 2 inches when soil is warm, and deeper in summer when soil is dry. Remember that seed needs 
moisture and warmth to germinate it. Plant every two weeks up to July 15. One lb. will plant 150 hills; 12 lbs. to an acre. 
SWEET CORN 
I IMPORTANT! Smallest Crop of Sweet Corn Seed in the History of This Country 
The disastrous drought cut the crop 6o to 70 per cent, leaving only about 30 to 40 per cent of a seed-crop. 
This has resulted, naturally, in higher prices throughout the country for all Sweet Corn.
