Bantam Evergreen Hybrid. 
Plant % Ib. for 100 feet of row, 12 to 14 lbs. per acre. The fresher 
Sweet corn is, the better the flavor. Plant for a succession, using some of 
the extra early, early and main crop varieties. A month to six weeks later 
plantings of early sorts may be made for late use. If white and yellow 
corns are planted adjoining, cross pollination will cause the ears to pro- 
duce some off color kernels. Do not plant sweet corn near field corn. It is 
better to use three or four short rows instead of one long one. Transfer 
of pollen is better resulting in more desirable ears. Warm weather, mod- 
erate moisture and rich soil are desirable but most garden soil will do if 
worked deeply and thoroughly before planting. Wait until the ground is 
warm and avoid the seed rotting. Rows may be spaced 2% to 4 feet apart. 
Use a wider planting for taller varieties. In drills, plant 5 or 6 seeds to 
the foot; in hills, 5 to 6 seeds per hill. When plants are about 5 inches 
tall, thin to 10 to 12 inches apart. Cultivate well and keep free from weeds.
