How to Grow SWEET CORN 
Plant seed after all danger of frost has passed and the soil has become thoroughly 
warm, in rows 2% 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 continuous supply, sow varieties which mature in suc- 
cession; also make additional sowings when the preceding planting is up and well 
started; 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 development of a full 
set of kernels. A pkt. will plant 4 rows, each about 25 ft. in length; 1 Ib. will plant 
300 groups or so-called ‘‘hills.’’ 

Put 5 or 6 seeds in groups 3 to 4 ft. apart and cover with.1 to 2 in. of soil; 
later thin out, leaving 3 or 4 stalks to a group. Seed may also be sown in rows 
3 to 4 ft. apart, the seed spaced 4 to 6 in. apart. As Pop Corn is hardier than 
Sweet Corn, the seed may be planted a week earlier. A pkt. will plant 100 ft. 
of row; 6 to 8 lbs. for one acre.
