There are several good varieties of 
sweetcorn, and we expect to have a 
large selection. 
Plant your corn in blocks, not long 
rows. When the silk is forming, give it 
a good feeding twice at 15-day inter- 
vals, with plenty of water to soak it 
well down. Keep the soil loose. When 
the ears are forming, use two table- 
spoons muriate potash dissolved in one 
gallon of water to each 12 stalks. This 
will give firmness to the kernels and 
encourage the plant in general.
