SWEET CORN 
Plant about May 5 in hills thoroughly manured, and allow three plants to grow in each hill. Sweet Corn 
requires rich soil. A tablespoonful of good fertilizer, such as Loma, in each hill at planting-time is beneficial. 
To have a continuous supply of Sweet Corn throughout the season, plant every 2 weeks until July. 
One pound will plant 125 hills

For very early Cucumbers, start seeds in pots in the frame or greenhouse, and set plants out when all 
danger of frost is past. For main crop, plant in hills outdoors, 3 feet apart, the beginning of May. Leave 
four strong plants to each hill. Cucumbers should be gathered as quickly as they are ready for use, for, if 
left to ripen, they destroy the productiveness of the vine. For pickling, plant during June and July.
