Bantam Evergreen Hybrid Sweet Corn 
Hybrid varieties. Will not reproduce true the second 

year, consequently do not save seed from the crop Sweet Corn 




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 va- 
rieties. A month to six weeks later plantings of early sorts may 
be made for late use. If white and yellow corns are planted ad- 
joining, 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 resulting in more desirable ears. 
Warm weather, moderate moisture 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 19387, 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.
