CANTELOPE (Continued) 
TEXAS RESISTANT No. 1 — 85 days. The 
new Aphis and Downy Mildew Resistant melon 
developed at Winter Haven Experiment Sta- 
tion by Dr. S. S. Ivanoff. So highly resistant 
to both these scourges that No. 1 will yield 
a normal harvest when other varieties are 
dead and gone, and dusting becomes unneces- 
sary. The fruits are 5 to 6 inches by 4% to 
514 inches, with moderate netting, making it a 
good shipper. The flesh is rich salmon color, 
sweet, and of firm texture. Seed cavity small 
with relatively few seeds. The yield is pro- 
lific, sometimes over 500 ungraded bushels 
per acre. Try it —- you won’t be disappointedj

CORN 
(SWEET) 
CULTURE — It is well to wait until the 
ground is warm before planting sweet corn 
as itis more susceptible to cold than field corn. 
Plant in rows 2% to 3 feet apart. Planting 2 
to 3 kernels every 12 inches in the row. Plant 
about 2 inches deep. When about 10 inches 
high destroy all but the strongest stalk in 
each hill. Cultivate regularly. The first culti- 
vation should be fairly deep, but later as the 
roots develop some of these will gradually 
come nearer to the surface and cultivation 
should be more shallow. Soil should be hilled 
up to corn and all side shoots or suckers re- 
moved. 
14 pound corn plants 100 foot row, 7 to 10 
Ibs. per acre.
