Because Sweet Corn is fer- 
tilized by the wind, plants 
must be grown in blocks rather 
than lines, so that the pollen 
will drift from one plant to 
another. In the home garden 
it is best to plant blocks of 10 
square feet every two weeks 
until midsummer.

One pkt. plants two 15-ft. rows; 1 qt., about 200 hills 
Corn needs hot weather and should not be planted until the ground is thor- 
oughly warm. Plant 6 kernels in hills 3 feet apart. Thin to 3 plants in a hill. 
Keep the ground hoed well up around the plants to support them against the 
wind. Always plant at least two rows together to insure pollination. Succession 
planting until mid-July is advised for home gardeners.
