THE BEST SWEET CORN 
Northern Grown Seed Corn Means Earlier Craps 
Sweet Corn can be raised on any good, ordinary soil that is thoroughly worked. Plant five 
kernels to the hill, which should be about 3 feet apart each way, or plant in rows, one seed every 
3 inches, covering seed with about | inch of soil firmly pressed down. Thin out to three plants to 
a hill. For succession, plant every two weeks up to July 15th. A package of seed will plant about 
50 hills or about 75 feet of row. 1 Ib. of seed will plant about 400 hills or 1000 feet of row. 
HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Hybrid Corns-are crosses between an inbred strain and a standard variety or a crossing of two 
inbreds. To produce mals Corn this must be done each year. Do not save seed from Hybrids, 
it will not come true the next season. Hybrid Corns are of special value to commercial growers 
because the ears from one planting mature at the same time. If you want Corn over a long 
period plant three or four kinds.
