feet apart, about five pounds per acre. Cut when two feet high. It

CORN, Broom. This does best in a good, deep, moderately moist soil.

—Prehistoric. A variety with a remarkable history. Of rapid 
growth, stout stalk, thickly set with leaves, three to five feet in 
length, four to seven inches wide. Said to produce four good ears to 
the stalk. Being a novelty, we recommend our customers to try it in 
a small way, and if it does just half of what is claimed for it, it will 
be more than satisfactory to the average planter.
