SHORT CROP! The present crop of Sweet Corn 
Seed is only about 35 per cent of normal, or only little 
more than l /$ of a crop in the entire United States. A 
short seed crop will result in high prices for your Sweet 
(SEE ALSO PAGE 14) Corn this year, so plant plenty of it. 
HOW TO GROW SWEET CORN.—Prepare the soil thoroughly; enrich it by working in manure. Com needs it. Wizard 
Brand Pulverized Sheep Manure is fine for Corn (we have it). For horse cultivation, make rows 3 feet apart, for the home-garden 
2 feet apart, and plant the hills from 1 to 2 feet apart in the rows. The early varieties, producing smaller stalks, can be planted 
closer than the big late Corns. If planted very early, before the soil is warm, of course you take some risk of the seed rotting. 
If it does, don’t blame the seed; remember that you took a risk against nature. Most gardeners take such a risk in order to get 
very early crops. Cover seed lightly when planted early—about V^inch and 1 to l 1 /? inches when soil is warm, and deeper in sum¬ 
mer when soil is dry. Remember that seed needs moisture and warmth to germinate it. Plant every two weeks up to July 15. 
One pound will plant 150 hills; 12 pounds to an acre.

HYBRIDS AMD TOP-CROSSES 
Top-Cross Spanish Gold 
(Yellow.) Beautiful, symmetrical ears, 7 to 8 inches long, with 10 or 12 
perfect rows of rich golden yellow kernels, very sweet, tender and delicious 
quality. Highly resistant to Stewart’s disease. Extra early, being first in the market of the “Crossed” varieties, 
ready to use 10 to 14 days ahead of Golden Cross Bantam. Pkt. 15 cts.; ^lb. 30 cts.; lb. 55 cts.; 5 lbs. $2.50;

C'rilflon C'mZQ FZntltnm (Yellow.) This hybrid is the result of crossing strains Purdue 39 and 51 and 
_1 introduced jointly by the U. S. Department of Agriculture and Purdue Uni¬

Ears have 10 to 14 rows, and are extremely uniform, averaging 8 inches long. Is ready about 1 week after regular 
Golden Bantam. Highly resistant to Stewart’s disease. Pkt. 15 cts.; %1'b. 30 cts.; lb. 55 cts.; 5 lbs. $2.50;

The advantages of “Crossed” varieties are: More perfectly uniform, better-quality ears, and they grow success¬ 
fully where others will succumb to Stewart’s disease. 
Seed should never be saved from these Hybrids, for your crop this year would never do for planting next year.
