SWEET CORN 4Aybrd Varieties 
CULTURE: A rich, warm sandy soil is the best, but 
excellent sweet corn can be raised on any good, ordi- 
nary soil if it is deeply and thoroughly worked before 
planting. In the West sweet corn should be planted 
as early as can be done without risking great loss 
from frosts. If planted in rows, make the rows about 
3 feet apart and place the seed 14 to 16 inches apart 
in the rows, covering 1 inch deep with fine soil pressed 
firmly down. If planted in hills, make the hills for 
the early variety 3 to 32 feet apart and plant 6 ker- 
nels to the hill. For the later sorts, the hills should 
not be less than 3 feet apart and when 6 inches 
high thin so as to leave 3 or 4 plants in the hill. Give 
frequent and thorough but shallow cultivation until 
the tassels appear. 2 
CULTURE HYBRID SWEET CORN: It is grown the 
same as ordinary open pollinated corn except that less 
seed is used per acre. Most growers find 8 pounds 
enough. The husk of hybrid corn is much tighter 
around the ear and this feature is quite a protection 
against worms.
