"Pure and Sure" Seeds—ST. LOUIS SEED COMPANY 
Corn— 
Sweet or Sugar 
One pound of seed will plant about 100 hills; 20 to 
25 pounds an acre in hills. 
A rich, warm soil is the best, but excellent Sweet 
Corn can be raised on any good, ordinary soil, if it 
is deeply and thoroughly worked before planting. If 
planted in hills, make the hills for the early varieties 
3 feet apart each way and plant 4 to 6 kernels to the 
hill. For the later sorts the hills should be 3 % to 4 
feet apart each way. Hoe frequently and when 6 
inches high thin so as to leave 3 or 4 plants in the 
hill. Give frequent and thorough but shallow culti¬ 
vation until the tassels appear.
