The Old Gardener talks of SWEET CORN 
Most sweet corn is really sweet only 
if it's home-grown. It must be cooked 
within an hour of the time it's picked 
if you want the true sugar flavor. As 
soon as it’s picked, the sugar begins 
to turn to starch, and six hours after 
its picked, most of the sweetness is 
sweet, 
you really want 
grow 
gone. So if 
sweet corn, 
your own. 
Even those who used 
to have failures with 
the old open polle- 
nated varieties be- 
cause of plant disease 
can grow the new 
hybrid varieties with 
their big juicy ears. 
But if you do grow 
the hybrid kinds, be &

sure to plant more than one variety be- 
cause they set better ears when the pol- 
len from more than one variety is flying 
at a time. And for best pollenation, don't 
plant a long single row: instead plant 
several short rows side by side so the 
pollen can blow through them. All 
corn is wind-pollenated and wind must 
hit all the stalks in the 
field if they are to 
set good ears. For 
directions for grow- 
ing better sweet corn,

Culture.
