The cultivation of Sweet Corn .—Plant in a rich, warm soil, in 
rows 3 ft. apart for early sorts and 4 ft. apart for the late sorts. 
Place hills 2 to 3 ft. apart in the rows. Yet, if we have an early 
warm period in spring it often pays to take some risks, as the 
plants, when once up, will often escape injury from belated frosts. 
May 15th is early enough to plant for seasonable crops. For suc¬ 
cession plant every two weeks to July 15th. 1 quart of seed will 
plant 200 hills 8 to 10 quarts to an acre. 
No. 448 Golden Giant — DeLue’s True Stock. 
No. 
448 Golden Giant is the result of fourteen years selection from the 
product obtained through crossing Howling Mob and Golden 
Bantam It combines al the good qualities of both parents and 
has been awarded a silver medal by the Massachusetts Horticul- 
tura Society The only corn to receive this honor from this So¬ 
ciety in the past sixty-seven years. It has since been awarded 
many prizes by the same Society 
ITS GENERAL HABIT 
It grows to a height of 4£ to 6 " and is strong and clean in growth. 
Each stock averages 2 or 3 ears seven to eight inches long. The cob is 
of small diameter and contains from 12 to 16 rows of long deep yellow 
kernels. The husk is heavy and affords protection to the cob from 
worms and birds. It excels all other early varieties in size, productive¬ 
ness and quality. It is especially recommended for home or market gar¬ 
deners who desire the greatest amount of quality in a short period of 
time from the smallest area.
