Hybrid Corns are of special value to market growers and canners and many home gar- 
deners because the ears from one planting mature at about the same time; in addition to this 
uniformity of maturity they are noted for their high yield and resistance to Stewart’s dis- 
ease or bacterial wilt. If you prefer to pull ears from one sowing over a longer period, plant 
open pollinated or standard varieties listed on the following two pages. Seed saved from 
hybrids will not come true to type the following year. You must get new seed each year.

Haw te Grow Sweet Corn 
Plant seed after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has become 
thoroughly warm in rows 2% to 3 ft. apart, spacing the seeds 4 to 6 in. apart 
in the row; cover with 1 in. of soil and later thin to stand 9 to 12 in. apart. 
Some prefer to sow 5 or 6 seeds in groups, allowing 2 to 3 in. between the 
seeds and spacing the groups 2 to 3 ft. apart in the row; allow 2 to 4 plants 
to remain in each group, depending on the fertility of your soil. For a con- 
tinuous supply, sow varieties which mature in succession; also make succes- 
sive sowings every 10 to 14 days, allowing enough time for your last planting 
to mature before the first expected frost in your locality. Corn should be 
planted in blocks of at least 4 rows side by side rather than in a single long 
row, to insure pollination and the development of a full set of kernels. One
