CORN, GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM 
Co rn y Sweet 
Corn should be planted to the north of 
the garden, so as not to shade the other 
crops. It needs shallow but continual 
tilling. Just after the middle of May is a 
good time to plant. The rows should 
be 3 feet apart, the kernels sown three 
together every 6 inches in the furrow. 
When the Corn is well started, pull out 
all but the strongest stalk in each group. 
Keep the little shoots or suckers cut 
from around the roots. The ears are 
ready to pick when the silk is brown and 
the kernels on the top are plump. One 
pound will plant 100 hills. 
OPEN POLLINATED VARIETIES 
Early Golden Bantam 
930 79 days. Select strain of exquisite 
quality; when ready to use is of a 
bright golden yellow color. It can be 
planted very early; is hardy. The small 
stalks grow very closely together in 
the row, and will produce 2 to 3 eight 
rowed ears each. We especially recom- 
mend it on account of its ability to 
stand the cold weather of spring. Pkt.

Cucumbers 
Dig holes at least 5 feet apart. They should be a foot wide and 5 or 6 inches deep. 
Fill each hole to within an inch of the top with equal parts of sand and well rotted 
stable manure thoroughly mixed. Scatter at least 10 seeds in it, well apart, and cover 
them with half an inch of fine soil, pressing it down. From the middle to last of 
May is planting time. Thin out to 3 plants to a hill. 1 oz. will plant 50 hills. 
Use Semesan on your Cucumber seed to increase germination and prevent leaf 
blight. 
Hotkaps are excellent protectors from late frosts. Have them ready for your 
Cucumbers.
