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 Hotkaps 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.
