CULTURE 
The grains of sugar corn 
are shriveled and rather 
tender and cannot be 
planted unt the ground 
is warm. Make hills 20 to 
24 inches apart each way, 
dropping 5 or 6 grains in 
each hill, thinning out 
afterward to 2 or 8 stalks 
to the hill. A continuous 
supply can be kept by 
planting early, medium 
and late varieties at one 
time, or by making sev- 
eral plantings at intervals 
of 15 days. One pound to 
200 hills; 10 pounds per 
acre. 
136—ADAMS LARGE (White Sweet) (75 days)—One of the 
most popular ronsting ear corns. Matures about 10 days later 
than the Extra Early Adams but the ears are larger and 
more desirable. The stalks are vigorous, averaging 7 feet in 
height, and well bladed. This and the Adams Extra Early 
are very hardy and can be planted earlier than sugar corns.

140—COUNTRY GENTLEMAN (White Sugar) (83 days)— 
One of the best known of the mid-season varieties. Kernels 
very deep, slender, sweet with tender hull and set irregu- 
larly without row formation. It is a good yielder, producing 
2 to 3 good-sized ears to the stalk.

ADAMS (White Sweet)

extreme earliness it is 
used for a first early 
table corn in the South.

feet high. The ears are 
short, very full, 12- to 
14-rowed, tender and 
sweet, the ends well

roasting ear corn, especially bred for market gardeners’ use; 
when planted at the same time as Large Adams it is ready 
for use just when the Large Adams is giving out; it is the 
best corn to use for successive plantings all through the 
season. This corn is slightly sweeter than field corn. Aver- 
age height of stalk about 7 feet; the ear is thick, well grained 
to the end of the cob; rows of grain straight and uniform. 
When cut green for market the ears average from 8 to 10 
inches in length. It is very productive, producing two good 
ears to the stalk. Also a splendid early maturing field corn.

Early Surprise 

ae 134—GOLDEN BANTAM (Yellow Sugar) (80 days) 
—Very sweet and most delicious extra early corn 
' for the home garden, and very productive. The 
stalks grow only 5 feet high and, where space is 
limited, the hills can be as close as 20 inches apart. 
Each stalk bears 2 or 3 well-filled ears, 6 to 7 inches 
in length. The kernels are of a beautiful yellow 
color, very milky, tender and sweet.

days)—A standard main crop variety, much used 
for the home garden, market, and canning. It is 
hardy and productive, very tender and sugary, re- 
maining a long time in condition suitable for boil-

1387—TRUCKER’S FAVORITE (White Sweet) (75 
days)—For a second early, to follow Early Adams, 
this is unquestionably one of the best; or for plant- 
ing late to mature quickly it is equally valuable. 
It is a white corn, with good depth of grain, tender 
and sweet, and a most desirable size for roasting 
ears. Besides being a fine garden corn, it is a 
splendid field corn to follow potatoes and other 
early crops. The ears are medium size and well 
ed.
