SWEET or SUGAR CORN 
CULTURE.—Sugar Corn can be raised on any good, ordi¬ 
nary soil if it is deeply and well worked before planting.

the tassels appear. Plant in rows about 3 or 4 feet apart 
and about 3 feet apart in the row. Leave not more than 3 
plants to the hill. It can be planted from first of May to last 
of July for a succession of crop. Sow about 8 quarts to_an 
acre.

COUNTRY GENTLEMAN 
93 Days. The ears are somewhat smaller and less showy 
than the coarser varieties but for private family use, where

same time as Stowell’s Evergreen. Pkt. 10c, pt. 20c, qt. 35c, 
pk. $1.75, bu. $5.50. 
HYBRID VARIETIES 
The growing popularity of the Hybrids has proven that 
they are of better quality and bigger and more uniform 
yielders than the open pollinated types. The ears are better 
filled; often times two borne to the stalk. This is because of 
better root growth, sturdier stalks and greater disease 
resistance.

88 Days. Golden cross bantam is the most outstanding 
and best adapted hybrid sweet corn. Pkt. 25c, pt. 35c, qt. 
60c, pk. $3.00. 
HYBRID STOWELL’S EVERGREEN 
95 Days. This is undoubtedly a bigger and more uniform 
yielder than the open Pollinated. Pkt. 10c, pt. 35c, qt. 60,
