SWEET CORN 

The yellow varieties contain vitamin A, both white and yellow contain small amounts of minerals 
and vitamins. 
Time to Plant—Sweet Corn is a rather tender plant and therefore seed should not usually be planted until 
about May | and then only if the weather is settled and reasonably warm. Plantings may be made at intervals, 
from that time until about July | using early varieties for the later sowings. 
Seed Sowing—In the home garden it is 
best to sow Corn in rows which should be spaced about 3 feet 
apart. The seed should be sown very thinly; covered to a depth of one inch and the resulting plants thinned to 
stand about one foot apart. In larger field plantings the usual practise is to plant in hills spaced at least 3 feet 
apart, each way. Four or five plants are allowed to each hill. 
1 pound of Corn should plant a 200 foot row

CUCUMBERS 
Time to Plant—Do not sow outdoors until the 
weather has become settled and warm, during June. 
Soil Preparation—Cucumbers prefer a rich porous 
soil and we suggest digging in a generous shovelful 
of well rotted manure when preparing each hill. 
Planting—Sow in hills (7 or 8 seeds to each hill) 
spaced about 4 feet apart in each direction. Cover 
with not more than 1% inch of soil. When the plants 
are 2 or 3 inches high thin out to leave only 3 or 4 
plants to each hill. 
An abundance of moisture is always needed. 
One ounce of seed should plant about 60 hills
