Sweet Corn 

Sweet Corn 
A packet will plant about 40 hills; 1 pound about 300 hills; 12 pounds to the acre. 
The home gardener in Northern Ohio plants corn as early as May 1st 
and as late as July 15th. For a succession of harvests, early, medium and 
late varieties are sown at the same time. Because they are smaller, 
early varieties are spaced 8 to 10 inches apart in 30- to 36-inch rows, 
while the larger and later sorts are placed 12 to 14 inches between 
plants. If you have not done so, by all means sow some of the new 
hybrid corns—they are rapidly replacing many of the old standbys.
