SWEET CORN 
One of the garden’s sweetest vegetables. Plant from Febru- 
ary 15th to August Ist, in rows 3 feet apart, drop 6 or 7 kernels 
in hills every 18 inches in the row and thin out to two of the 
healthiest plants in each hill when about 5 inches high. Break 
off all side shoots except the two top ones as they will produce 
the largest and best ears. Corn is at its very best when picked 
and eaten within an hour, but it is extremely important that 
it be picked just at the right time, especially when not too 
old. Frequent planting of several varieties in succession will 
keep a good supply available all summer.

well up on the stem, making it easy to pick, and should prove 
very popular with both the market and home gardener. Pkt.
