Golden 
Bantam 

Hybrid Golden Bantam 
Corn, Sweet 
Do you know why home grown Sweet Corn al- 
ways tastes best? Because within a few hours 
after the tender ears are pulled off the stalk they 
begin to lose their sugar and they rapidly de- 
teriorate in flavor. You can seldom buy absolutely 
fresh Sweet Corn, so unless you have grown your 
own, you probably do not realize how deliciously 
sweet it can be. 
Culture—A constant supply of Sweet Corn may 
be had from your garden by planting a succession 
of early, midseason and late varieties and by 
planting each of the kinds every week or ten days. 
Plant when danéger of frost is past and the ground 
is warm, rows 2 to 3 feet apart and 8 to 10 inches 
apart in row. Corn likes frequent cultivation 
until the ears are formed. 1 lb. will plant about 
300 hills or 400 to 500 feet of row. 12 to 15 lbs. will 
plant an acre.
