SWEET CORN 
Sweet Corn is one of the most satisfactory vegetables for the home garden and one of the most profitable for the market 
gardener. There are few gardens in which space cannot be found for at least a few rows of Sweet Corn. No other vegetable 
is so liealthful, appetizing and luscious as freshly harvested and quickly cooked Sweet Corn. Plant the seed, after all danger 
of frost has passed, in rows 2 to 4 ft. apart, and space the seed ^ to 4 in. apart in the row; or plant in hills 3 to 4 ft. apart. 
Cover with 1 to 2 in. of fine soil. For a continuous^ supply, sow varieties which will mature in succession, and also make 
succession sowings every 10 to 14 days up to July 10. One lb. of seed spaced by hand will give 500 ft. of row; 10 lbs. are 
needed to plant one acre. The extra-early (EE) varieties of Sweet Corn mature in 72 to 80 days. The early (E) varieties 
mature in 82 to 84 days. The midseason (M) varieties re<iuire 85 to 90 days, and the late (L) varieties 95 days.

('orn that is not only larger than the famous 
Burpee’s Golden Bantam but matures fully

Kars are not very thick—a good size for 
eating from the cob. Kernels are large, 
broad, deep, rich golden yellow, full of sweet¬ 
ness and nourishment, with the same but¬ 
tery flavor that has given world fame to 
Burpee's Golden Bantam. The very fact

proof of the high regard in which we hold it.
