Golden Evergreen Sweet Corn 
SWEET CORN 
One quart of seed will plant 200 to 300 hills or 300 
feet of row; 6 to 8 quarts will plant an acre 
The one vegetable which every American gardener wants to grow is Sweet Corn, and, fortunately, it is one of the easiest to grow, 
thriving on most all soils and requiring only a minimum of attention. Since the seed is rather tender, do not make the first sowing 
until the soil is warm and comparatively dry—the middle of May is usually the earliest it is safe to sow Corn in this section. It can 
be grown in hills or in rows, the latter method being usually preferred. Hills are placed 2 to 3 feet apart each way, dropping about 
six seeds in each hill and, when the plants are about 8 inches high, pulling out all but the three or four strongest. Rows are spaced 
2_k2 to t, 1 /2 feet apart and the plants thinned to stand 12 to 15 inches apart in the rows. Generally speaking, the late varieties grow 
larger and require more room than the early sorts. In planting, cover the seed about 2 inches deep, or a little deeper if the weather 
is very dry. Growing Corn requires lots of water. To preserve all the moisture in the soil and, incidentally, keep down weeds, hoe 
or cultivate frequently, taking care, however, not to go too deep as Corn roots spread out close to the surface. In order that the 
ears may develop perfectly they must receive plenty of pollen from near-by stalks; consequently, it is always best to plant Sweet Corn 
in several short rows, side by side, rather than in one or two long rows. Many gardeners plant only one or two quick-maturing 
varieties, securing a continuous supply by making sowings every ten days or two weeks from mid-May to earl}' July. Others follow 
the plan of sowing, all at one time, a number of sorts which will mature in succession. If you want to enjoy Sweet Corn far sweeter 
and richer than any you have ever been able to buy, grow it yourself and pick it just before it is to be cooked.
