HAMILTON’S HAWKEYE SEEDS 
Extra Early 
Golden Bantam 
Hawkeye SWEET CORN 
for Hawkeye Gardens 
Worm weather, rich soil, and moderate moisture are best 
for corn, but a satisfactory crop can be grown in any garden 
if the soil is deeply and thoroughly worked before planting. 
Sweet corn seed is likely to rot if planted in cold weather, so 
planting should be governed by this fact. Seeds may be 
planted either in rows or hills. If planted in rows, they should 
be spaced from 2Vi to 4 feet apart, depending on the height 
of the variety; seeds should be dropped at the rate of 5 or 6 
to the foot, and covered about two inches deep. If planting in 
hills, drop 5 or 6 seeds per hill and space the hills 3 feet apart 
each way. When plants are 4 to 5 inches tall, thin from 8 to 
12 inches apart and keep well hoed until the ears are set. 
Plant one pound to 400 ft. row. 10 pounds to acre.
