SWEET CORN 
Culture — Almost any soil will grow corn provided it is well manured and deeply worked. Plant from May to 
July. By sowing successive lots of properly selected varieties a continued supply can he had until frosts kill 
the plants. Early varieties should be planted in hills three feet apart each way, with 5 or 6 kernels to a hill. 
Later varieties in hills 4 feet apart. Thin later to four plant to the hill. Hoe well to keep weeds down, drawing 
soil around stems. If planted in rows, drop seed 12 inches apart in 4-foot rows. One lb. will plant 150 hills. 
14 lbs. to an acre. 
HYBRID SWEET CORN 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. After comparing last year’s results on Hybrid Sweet Corns, 
we have selected this one as the best for our New England customers. A midseason hybrid, 
5 to 8 days later than Golden Bantam but yielding about 50% more marketable ears. Noted 
for its resistence to Stewarts’ disease and for remarkable uniform ears. Sturdy, straight stalks 
6% to 7 feet tall usually producing two 8 in. ears of 10 to 14 row corn to stalk. 1 lb. 50c; 10 lbs. 
$4.50.

GOLDEN SUNSHINE. The earliest 
sweet com, maturing 10 days earlier 
than the Golden Bantam. More dwarf

EMERSON’S EARLY GOLDEN 
SUNRISE is grown from stock seed of 
our own production, raised in New Eng¬
