SWEET CORN 
(Open-Pollinated Kinds) 
CULTURE: Sweet corn will rot after planting if 
soil is cold and wet, so delay planting until Spring 
is well under way. Successive plantings will keep 
the gardener supplied with fresh ears over a long 
season. Plant in 30-inch rows, 12 inches apart in the 
row. Keep well cultivated but do not cut roots. Corn 
requires fertilizer and cultivation for best results. 
Manure is preferable.
