Stowell’s Evergreen 
CHICORY 
Culture: Sow seed at the same season and give the same 
treatment as celery. Transplant to moist, rich soil, in rows 
2 feet apart and 6 inches apart in row. Give thorough cul- 
ture. It is not necessary to earth up or “handle’’ the plants. 
pel the roots are 2 inches in diameter, they are ready 
or use. 
WHITLOOF CHICORY. The seed should be sown 
during April in the open ground, in drills 10 to 
12 inches apart. Allow the plants to grow until 
November, then take up and trim off the outer 
leaves and place in a trench 8 to 12 inches deep. 
For blanching place the roots upright, about 
1% inches apart.

SWEET CORN 
One pound of seed will plant about 100 hills; 
10 pounds an acre in hills. 
Culture: A rich warm soil is the best, but excellent 
Sweet Corn can be raised on any good soil, that is deeply 
and thoroughly worked before planting. If planted in hills, 
make the hills for the early varieties 3 feet apart each 
way and plant 4 to 6 kernels to the hill. For the later 
sorts the hills should be 3% to 4 feet apart each way. 
BLACK MEXICAN. Maturing in 85 days. This is 
one of the finest flavored Sweet Corns. When 
in table condition the kernels are pearly white.
