Breck’s Vegetable Seeds 
SWEET CORN 
Italian^Mais 
An early sowing may be made on warm well-drained soil as early as April 20. Only occasionally 
will this sowing be injured by frost, and if Hotcaps are used frost injury almost surely will be 
prevented. The late varieties may be sown at Intervals from then until early July and the early 
varieties until July 15 or even later near Boston. Sow the seed in hills 3 feet apart and allow 
4 or 5 plants to each hill. One pound of seed will sow about 150 hills; 12 pounds to the acre. 
Packets 15c (sufficient for 12 hills) postpaid, except as noted.
