SWEET CORN— 
Cont. 
Stowell’s Evergreen. The best 
known and most * largely 
planted of all the late varie¬ 
ties. 
Stowell’s Evergreen is hard 
to beat and for a long time 
to come many will have it in 
preference to any other sort. 
This corn is distinguished by 
the large ear, the long, deep 
kernels, its rich, sugary flavor 
and its long keeping qualities. 
Seed has been selected for its 
sweetness, productiveness, 
and large size. 
Sweet Corn Facts 
Market gardeners and pri¬ 
vate planters should keep in 
mind the important fact that 
Sweet Corn produced in the 
North is earlier and more 
hardy than the same varieties 
grown farther south. We do 
not think it too much to claim 
that nearly all of our varieties 
of Sweet Corn are easily a 
■week to ten days earlier than 
the same varieties produced 
elsewhere. 
One pound of seed will plant 
about 100 hills; 12 to 15 pounds 
an acre in hills.
