CULTURE—1lf Ibs. 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.
