Culture .—Sweet Corn delights in good soil and responds to clean and frequent cultivation. Corn is 
usually planted in well-fertilized hills, 3 to 3^ feet apart each way. Put 5 or 6 kernels in each hill and 
cover with mellow soil to a depth of about iy% inches. In stiff soils a planting depth of 1 inch is preferable. 
When the blades are about 6 inches high, and there is no further danger of injury from birds or insects, 
remove from each hill all but the three most vigorous stalks. Many gardeners sow the seed in rows 3 feet 
apartleaving the plants standing singly 9 inches apart. For a succession throughout the season, plant 
early in May several varieties, including first early to late. Or a good second early sort planted at intervals 
of two weeks until the first week in July will produce a continuous supply. One quart will plant about 200 
hills, 8 to 10 quarts to an acre. 
EXTRA EARLY DAWN 
This is positively the earliest 
Sweet Corn in cultivation and as it 
thus takes precedence over all other 
kinds it is of particular interest to 
the market gardeners who, like the 
early bird, are after the “ worm,” or 
long prices. In form, size and ap¬ 
pearance it somewhat resembles the 
Red Cory, but is a week or ten days 
earlier. Being of quite dwarf habit 
it can be planted much closer than 
most Corns, and consequently yields 
considerably larger crops per acre. 
Market gardeners think highly of 
Extra Early Dawn and it is con¬ 
stantly growing in popularity/ Qt.

GOLDEN BANTAM 
This remarkable variety succeeds admirably 
under almost all conditions, and because of its 
earliness, vigor of growth, firmness of grain 
and truly delicious flavor it is becoming more popu¬ 
lar every year in all sections of the country. While 
a few years ago it was regarded with a certain degree 
of suspicion, wholly on account of its outward re¬ 
semblance to u Chicken Corn,” it is now universally 
pronounced as the sweetest and most tender and 
satisfying Sweet Corn in the seedsman’s list. Attain¬ 
ing a height of about 5 feet, the sturdy plant usually 
bears two or more medium-sized ears to the stalk, 
which, when ready for the table, are of a rich, golden 
yellow color and compactly filled. Golden Bantam 
is especially well adapted to the home garden and a 
continuous supply may be maintained right through 
the season by successional planting. Qt. 20c., 4 qts.
