Bantam Evergreen Hybrid Sweet Corn 
Hybrid varieties. Will not reproduce true 
the second vear consequently do not save Sweet Corn 
seed from the crop. 


Plant % lb. for 100 feet of row, 12 to 14 lbs. per acre. The 
fresher sweet corn is, the better the flavor. Plant for a suc- 
cession, using some of the extra early, early and main crop 
varieties. A month to six weeks later plantings of early 
sorts may be made for late use. If white and yellow corns 
are planted adjoining, cross pollination will cause the ears 
to produce some off color kernels. Do not plant sweet corn 
near field corn. It is better to use three or four short rows 
instead of one long one. Transfer of pollen is better result- 
ing in more desirable ears. Warm weather, moderate mois- 
ture and rich soil are desirable but most garden soil will do 
if worked deeply and thoroughly before planting. Wait until 
the ground is warm and avoid the seed rotting. Rows may 
be spaced 2% to 4 feet apart. Use a wider planting for 
taller varieties. In drills, plant 5 or 6 seeds to the foot; in 
hills, 5 to 6 seeds per hill. When plants are about 5 inches 
tall, thin to 10 to 12 inches apart. Cultivate well and keep 
free from weeds. 

@ The acreage planted by the Canners of America in 1929 was 7% Hybrid 
varieties and the balance open pollinated varieties, and in 1937, 93% of 
their acreage was planted to Hybrid varieties. This is the best proof 
that could be offered to the value of Hybrid Sweet Corn.
