General Cultivation 
If it were possible to say that Chase P.M.Gs. were specially 
designed to suit one crop, then that crop could only be sweet 
corn. The rich creamy sweetness of a P.M.G. grown cob, 
harvested as early as the end of June, has to be experienced 
to be believed. 
You have not grown corn until you have grown it the Chase 
Way. You have not eaten it until you have eaten a P.M.G. 
raised cob. 
Sweet corn is a gross feeder, so manure the soil well. 
Sow seeds singly 3 inches apart, one row to a P.M.G., and 
take a catch crop of lettuce on either side. When the plants 
reach the top of the glass remove the P.M.G. Thin dwarf 
varieties to 9 inches apart and tall varieties to 18 inches, It 
is better to grow two or more rows, as this improves 
pollination. Remove the side-shoots of dwarf varieties when 
about 4 inches long. 
The cobs are ready to cut when the silken tassels have 
turned dark brown. .
