While sweet corn is often grown in hills, experienced 
gardeners prefer drills. Make the first planting the latter 
part of May in a rich warm soil; successive sowings 
should be made at intervals of about ten days until July. 
Sow in drills from 2^4 to 3^4 feet apart, according to the 
height of the variety, and thin out the plants to 10 or 12 
inches apart in the row. If grown in hills, 3 or 4 feet 
apart each way gives ample space; never allow more than 
four plants to remain in one hill. 
One quart of seed will plant 150 feet of drill, or about 
200 hills.

Golden Bantam. The most popular 
variety of yellow sweet corn ever 
offered; also one of the earliest 
and hardiest. It can be planted 
safely earlier than other varieties. 
The plants rarely grow over 3^4 
feet in height, and usually bear 
at least two ears, 5 or 6 inches 
long, on each stalk. Many people 
assert that Golden Bantam is the 
sweetest of all corns; its plump, 
rich, cream-yellow kernels are ten¬ 
der, milky, and delicious. All our 
Golden Bantam seed is Northern 
grown, making it especially valu¬ 
able for growth in sections where 
the summers are cool and short.. 
Breck’s Early Hampshire. An extra 
early variety which may be relied 
upon to mature ahead of Early 
Crosby. Ears comparatively large, 
evenly filled with small white ker¬ 
nels of fine quality. The plants 
which average about five feet in 
height always bear two and often 
three ears on each stalk. Our seed
