THE BEST SWEET CORN 
Northern-Grown Seed Corn Means Earlier Crops 
Sweet Corn can be grown on any good soil that has been thoroughly prepared. Plant after the soil has 
become warm and dry, placing five kernels in hills spaced 3 feet apart each way, or plant the seed 3 inches 
apart in rows. Cover with about an inch of soil, firmly pressed down. Thin out to three plants to a hill. 
For succession, plant every two weeks until July 15. 
A packet will plant about 50 hills or a 75-foot row; a pound, about 400 hills or 1000 feet of row 
Hybrid Sweet Corn 
Hybrid varieties are a cross between an inbred 
strain and a standard variety, or between two 
inbreds. To produce Hybrid Corn, this cross must 
be made each year. So do not save seed from hy- 
brids; it will not come true the next season. Hybrid 
Corn is of especial value to commercial growers be- 
cause all the ears from a planting mature at the 
same time. If you want Corn over a long season, 
plant three or four kinds.

filled to the end with 12 to 16 rows of deep, 
sweet, tender kernels, creamy yellow in color.
