The Most Delicious SWEET CORN 
Is From Garden to Table 
Corn, Golden Bantam Evergreen 
Plant from February 15 to August 1. How¬ 
ever, if the soil is cold and wet it is best 
to wait until the soil is warm. Plant in hills 
18 inches apart and the rows 3 feet apart, 
dropping 5 to 7 seeds to each hill and thin 
cut to two of the healthiest plants when 
about 5 inches high. Remove all side 
shoots or "suckers” from the plant, leav¬ 
ing only the two top ones as these will 
produce the largest and best ears. Corn 
is at its best when picked and served im¬ 
mediately.
