All Post Free 
HOW TO GROW. —All varieties of Sweet or Sugar Corn may be 
either sown lin. deep in rows 3ft. to 4ft apart, and the seed? 
placed about 8in. apart in the rows, or planted in hills at dis¬ 
tances 3ft. or 4ft. each trey, according to the size of the variety 
grown or the richness of the soil in which it is planted. The 
taller the variety, or the richer the soil, the greater should be 
the distance apart. Sow i'n early spring when danger from frost 
is over. 
HOW TO USE SWEET CORN 
The cobs should be cooked while in their green state, and are 
ready for use as soon as the tassel is withered To cook, plung“ 
the cobs into boiling water for twenty to thirty minutes, or, 
better still, put cobs into cold water and gradually bring to 
boliing point. This latter method retains the tenderness and 
tkivour. Serve up with butter and pepper to taste. 
GOLDEN SUNSHINE —The earliest of the Golden Sweet 
Corns, and has considerable value on that account. It 
matures some week or ten days before Golden Bantam. 
Cobs are about the same size as Golden Bantam, but 
are 12-rowed instead of eight. The plant is dwarfer 
than Bantam and ears are carried closer to the ground. 
First-grade quality and of delicious flavour. 6d pkt.,

YATES’ DWARF CHAMPION. —A new early variety. The

pactly that it may find a place in the smallest garden.

right to serve whole. They are filled from butt to tip 
with deep, broad grains of attractive colour and the most 
delightful flavour; without doubt the best yet intro¬
