CULTURE: A rich, warm sandy soil is the best, but 
excellent sweet corn can be raised on any good, ordi- 
nary soil if it is deeply and thoroughly worked before 
planting. In the West sweet corn should be planted 
as early as can be done without risking great loss 
from frosts. If planted in rows, make the rows about 
3 feet apart and place the seed 14 to 16 inches apart 
in the rows, covering 1 inch deep with fine soil pressed 
firmly down. If planted in hills, make the hills for 
the early variety 3 to 3% feet apart and plant 6 ker- 
nels to the hill. For the later sorts, the hills should 
not less than 3l feet apart and when 6 inches 
high thin so as to leave 3 or 4 plants in the hill. Give 
frequent and thorough but shallow cultivation until 
the tassels appear. 
HYBRID VARIETIES 
Hybrid corns are of special value to market and 
home gardeners because of their better qualities 
and increased yield. 
The husk of most Hybrid varieties is much tighter 
around the ear right up to the tip and this feature 
keeps the kernels tender a longer time. Also is 
Chea a protection against ear worms. Resistant to 
It.
