CULTURE 
Dry grains of sweet 
corn are shriveled and 
tender and cannot be 
planted quite as early as 
field varieties. Leaves on 
trees should be well out 
and soil warm before 
planting. Make hills 2% 
to 8 feet apart each way, 
dropping 5 to 6 grains in 
each hill, thinning out af¬ 
terwards to 2 or 3 stalks 
to the hill. A continuous 
supply is kept up by plant¬ 
ing early and late varie¬ 
ties at one time, or by 
making several plantings 
at 14-day intervals. Pound 
plants 200 hills; use 14 
pounds (1 peck) to acre.

SEMESAN JR. 
New Improved Sem- 
esan Jr. usually will 
improve the stand and 
increase the yield of 
field and sweet corn. 
The average increase in 
yield depends upon 
many factors, such as 
the quality of your 
seed, its freedom from 
disease, and the soil 
conditions at planting 
time. See Index. 
Main Crop Varieties 
131—HONEY JUNE (87 days)—Originated by the Texas 
Experiment Station. It is a cross between White June 
and Country Gentleman, developed over a period be¬ 
ginning 1927. Stalks are tall and vigorous, somewhat 
later in maturing than other sweet corns, averaging 87 
days from planting to roasting ear stage. Ears are 
medium in size and have 14 to 16 rows. Grains are long, 
slender and white. Has one to two ears per stalk. 
Develops a heavy shuck which provides protection 
against ear worm damage. It is fine for forage as well 
as a good roasting ear variety. Pkt., Vi lb., 10c; V 2 lb., 
20c; 1 lb., 30c; 2 lbs., 50c; 5 lbs., $1.00. 
138— STOWELL’S EVERGREEN (Sugar) (85 days)—The 
standard main crop variety, much used for the home 
garden, market, and canning. It is hardy and produc¬ 
tive, very tender and sugary, remaining a long time in 
condition suitable for boiling. The ears are about 10 to 
12 inches long, 14 to 20-rowed, with very white grain. 
The stalks are about 7 V2 feet high. Pkt., Vi lb., 10c;

good-sized ears to the stalk. Pkt., Vi lb., 10c; V 2 lb., 
15c; 1 lb., 25c; 2 lbs., 40c; 5 lbs., 85c. 
141— EARLY SURPRISE (75 days)— A wonderful roast¬ 
ing ear corn, especially bred for market gardeners’ 
use; when planted at the same time as Large Adams 
it is ready for use just when the Large Adams is giv¬ 
ing out; it is the best corn to use for succession plant¬ 
ings all through the season. In eating, this corn is 
slightly sweet, resembling sugar corn in taste. Average 
height of stalk about 6 feet; the ear is thick, well 
grained to the end of the cob; rows of grain straight 
and uniform. When cut green for market the ears 
average from 12 to 14 inches in length. It is very pro¬

leading varieties. Matures about 2 weeks later than the Extra

vigorous, averaging 7 feet in height, and well bladed. This and 
the Adams Extra Early are very hardy and can be planted 
earlier than sugar corns.

137— TRUCKER’S FAVORITE (Sweet) (75 days)—For a second 
early, to follow Early Adams, this is unquestionably one of the 
best; or for planting late to mature quickly it is equally valuable. 
It is a white corn, with good depth of grain, tender and sweet, 
and a most desirable size for roasting ears. Besides being a fine 
garden corn, it is a splendid field com to follow potatoes and 
other early crops. The ears are large and well filled.

yellow grains; matures 3 to 4 days later than Golden Bantam.
