THE BEST SWEET CORN 
Northern Groun Seed Corn Means Eartier Cron 
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 1 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 
SO 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 Hybrid 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 longa 
period plant three or four kinds. 
Seneca ‘‘60.’’ Earliest of all Hybrid Corns. Ready to eat in 62 days. A new and very pro- 
lific hybrid bearing two and many times three ears to the stalk. The stalk grows about 4 feet 
tall and the ears are 6 inches long, slender, and filled with 8 to 10 rows of creamy yellow kernels 
of good quality for such an early Corn. Pkg. 20c; VY Ib. 45c; Ib. 80c; 5 Ibs. $3.25 
Golden Rocket. Ready to eat in 67 days. Long, 8-inch ears with 10 to 14 rows of deep 
kernels that fill it to the tip. It has splendid quality, the cream colored kernels are tender, sweet
