CULTURE—l,-Ib. will plant 100 hills. 
Sweet Corn varies greatly in hardiness, 
earliness, size and sweetness. The early 
sorts grow only 3 to 5 feet high and may 
be planted when the trees are starting 
out in leaf, in rows 3 feet apart, making 
the hills about 1 ft. apart. The later and 
sweeter varieties are more tender and 
should not be planted until the trees are 
in full leaf or the seed will rot in the 
ground. Plant garden corn in rows 3 feet 
apart, making the hills 18 inches apart 
in the rows. Apply 2 Ibs. (1 quart) of 
Vigoro for each 50 feet of row, mixing it 
thoroughly with soil before planting seeds.
