to open field when 2 inches tall if weather 
and soil conditions permit, setting plants 
18 inches apart in rows 30 inches apart.

The Most Delicious SWEET CORN... 
Is From Garden to Table 
Plant from February 15 to August 1. How- 
ever, if the soil is cold and wet it is best 
to wait until the soil is warm. Plant in hills 
3 feet apart and the rows 4 feet apart, 
dropping 5 to 7 seeds to each hill and thin 
out to two of the healthiest plants when 
about 5 inches high. Remove all side 
shoots or “suckers” from the plant, leav- 
ing only the two top ones as these will 
produce the largest and best ears. Corn 
is at its best when picked and served im- 
mediately.
