LIST OF TESTED GARDEN SEEDS FOR 1926. 19. SWEET CORN Golden Bantam. Culture—Corn must have a good rich soil. In the back yard garden where lig'ht and cannot penetrate to the roots readily plant one or two kernels every 6 inches apart and when up thin out to 12 inches, preferably leaving only one plant in each hill. Failures are chiefly attributable to close planting. Sow one to two inches deep and cultivate fairly deep w^hen above ground, gradually reducing depth as the season advances; by so doing the larger roots are not cut or disturbed. At the last cultivation it is better to hill rather than to cultivate too close to the plants. One pound to every 250 hills where space is not so limited as a back yard garden, or if sown in rows one pound w^ill suffice for a 200 foot drill or 300 hills. 12 to 15 lbs. per acre. EARLY MAYFLOWER—A new variety in the West, but raised in large quantities in some of the Eastern States, where it is by ten days the earliest Sweet Corn grown, and is always the first variety on the market. It is six inches to a foot dwarfer than Early Cory, very much larger in the ear, running 8, 10 and 12-rowed, and is considered of much better qual- ity. In sweetness of flavor it compares very favorably with the delicious Golden Bantam. Pkt. 10c; V2 lb. 25c (by mail 30c); 1 lb. 40c (by mail 47c); 5 lbs. $; 10 lbs. $; 25 lbs. Livingston's Early Sugar—A very beautiful new sort of finest flavor. Produces, in favorable seasons, perfect ears 60 days after planting. Ears average 7 inches in length by 2ya inches in diameter, are filled with 12 to 14 rows of pearly white, broad and deep kernels of de- licious quality. Pkt. 10c; 1/2 lb. 25c (by mail 30c); 1 lb. 40c (by mail 47c); 5 lbs. ; 10 lbs. $
