SWEET 
Plant the seed after all danger of frost has passed in rows 
2K to 4 ft. apart, spacing the seeds 4 to 6 in. apart in the 
row, and thinning later to 12 inches; or plant in hills 3 to 
4 ft. each way, allowing 2 to 4 plants to remain in each hill, 
depending on the fertility of your soil. For a continuous 
supply, sow varieties which mature in succession; also make 
CORN 
succession sowings every 10 to 14 days until July 10—Sweet 
Corn maturing in the cool fall weather is excellent. Corn 
should be planted in blocks rather than in a single long row 
since pollination and the development of a full set of kernels 
is then insured. One pkt. of seed will plant 100 ft. of row; 
1 lb. 350 ft.; 12K lbs. for one acre.
