SWEET CORN—STANDARD VARIETIES 
Extra Early Golden 
Sweet Corn is tender and will not stand frost nor 
will it germinate well in wet cold soils. It responds 
to good soil and clean, frequent cultivation. Plant 
in well-fertilized hills 3 feet apart each way, putting 
6 or 6 kernels in each hill and covering to a depth 
of about inches. When about 6 inches high 
remove from each hill all but the three most vigor¬ 
ous stalks. Many gardeners sow the seed in rows 
3 feet apart, leaving the plants standing singly about 
9 inches apart. For a succession throughout the 
season plant early in May several varieties, includ¬ 
ing first early to late. A good second early variety 
planted at intervals of two weeks until the middle 
of July will produce a continuous supply. Approxi¬ 
mate weights; 1 bu. 45-50 lbs; 1 qt. 1Y lbs. Treat¬ 
ment with Semesan Jr. is very effective in insuring 
germination of early planted corn and controlling 
disease. For prices see page 43.
