Prices are postpaid. Deduct 10c per |b. if shipped otherwise. 
CULTURE 
Sweet corn should not be planted until in the spring 
when all danger of frost is past. The soil preferred is 
one rich and moist. Plant in hills 18 inches apart with 
rows 3 feet apart. Three or four seeds may be planted 
in each hill, but not more than two allowed to stand.

removed, as they take strength from the mother plant.

irrigate.

sowing the early varieties from May 15th to June Ist; 
medium early varieties May 20th to July 5th; and late 
varieties any time from June 25th to Aug. 25th, inclu- 
sive. When 40 days old transplant to the field, 24 in. 
apart in rows 30 to 36 inches apart. Do not leave plants 
in the hot-bed over 45 days, as the stems become hard 
and poor results follow.
