Hybrid Corns are of special value to market growers and canners and many home 
gardeners 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 disease 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 follow- 
ing year and for that reason you must get new seed each year. ;

How to Grow SWEET CORN 
Plant seed after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has become 
thoroughly warm in rows 234 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 addi- 
tional sowings when the preceding planting is up and well starte@-allow 
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 develop- 
ment of a full set of kernels. A pkt. will plant 4 rows, each 25 ft. in length; 
1 lb. will plant 300 groups or so-called ‘‘hills.’’
