Burpee’s Golden Bantam 
How to Grow Sweet Corn 
Plant séed after all danger of. 
frost has passed and the soil has 
become thoroughly warm, in rows 
2% to 3 ft. apart, spacing the 
seeds 4 to 6 in. apart in the row; 
cover with 1 in. of soil and later 
thin to stand 8 to 12 in. apart. 
Some prefer to sow 4 seeds in 
groups, allowing 2 to 3 in. be- 
tween the seeds and spacing the 
groups 2 to 3 ft. apart in the row; 
allow 2 or 3 plants to remain in 
a group. Corn should be planted 
in blocks of at least 4 rows side by 
side rather than in a single long 
row, to insure pollination and the 
development of a full set of ker- 
nels. A pkt. will plant 4 rows, 
each about 25 ft. in length; 1 Ib. 
will plant 300 groups or ‘“‘hills.”’
