SWEET or SUGAR CORN 
Sugar Corn varies in weight according to 
variety. We have decided to list 44 pounds 
as a bushel, except Adams and Trucker’s 
Favorite, which weigh 56 pounds to bushel. 
Cu.trureE. The Sweet or Sugar varieties, 
being liable to rot in cold or wet ground, 
should not be planted before May, or until 
the ground has become warm. For a suc- 
cession, continue planting every two weeks, 
until the middle of July, in rich, well-ma- 
nured ground, in hills, covering about 4 inch 
and thin out to 3 plants to a hill. Extra-early 
varieties can be planted 114 feet apart in the 
row. The field varieties should be planted 
4 feet apart each way, leaving 3 plants to a 
hill. From 65 to 90 days. Soil B.
