Twenty Minutes from Garden to 

SWEET CORN 
Mais Maiz Korn 
Like Peas, Sweet Corn is at its best when 
served within a few minutes after picking, and 
that is why one never knows the deliciousness 
of Sweet Corn until they grow their own. 
One pound of seed will sow 200 feet of drill, 
or 200 to 300 hills 
Plant in rich, warm soil, in hills 2 to 3 feet apart, 
in rows 3 feet apart for early kinds and 4 feet apart 
for late sorts. Make first sowing about the middle 
of May and continue fortnightly up to about the 
middle of July.
