SWEET OR SUGAR CORN. ⢠⢠⢠⢠⢠CULTUREâSweet Corn is much more tender and easily effected by cold and wet than Field Corn, on ac- count of the sugar contained i:i kernel. The ground must ba in condition so it will grow i^t ONCE after planting or it will SDur and rot. The l3,ter sorts, or those containing the most saccharine matter will need to have the ground warmer and in better condition for their gro\^'lh than the early and more flinty kinds.

They plant Evergreen Corn early in !Ma\- when the ground is cold and wet and then l?y the blame on the seed if it does not grow. One pir t c f seed will plant about 300 hills; six quarts of seed are re juired to the acre. WEIGHTâSweet Corn is not sold by weight, there being no legal weight for it. Is sold by MEASURE, the different varieties weighing from forty-six to fifty-two pounds, the early flinty sorts being heavier than the Evergreen. CAUTIONâSweet Corn shpuld ba opened up and rired immediately on its arrival, es it is liable to gather m jisture i-I transit. A little care in this direction will oftentimes prevent cause for complaint from 3'our cus- tonijifs of corn failing to germinate.

It is fully as early and has every good quality of the ordinary Cory and the additional advantage of being white, which makes it more-desirable for table use. Extra Early Cory â For many years this has stood the test of being the Extra Early Cory, earliest SWEET corn on the list. Under favorable condi- tions will produce roasting ears of good size and quality in sixty days from plantin
