SWEET CORN JUBILEE
Over the years sweet corn varieties have been devel- oped to improve fl avor, seed germination, fl exibility of the harvest period, and many other desirable charac- teristics. Plant early, midseason, and late varieties to extend the corn season. Our 1 oz. packets contain a minimum of 125 seeds and will plant 30 to 50 feet of row; 1 lb. has approximately 1800 to 5000 seeds (average 2500 for su/se types, 3000 for sh2 types) and plants about 500 to 800 feet. We recommend planting an average of 12 lbs. per acre for su/se types and 8 lbs. per acre for sh2 varieties. Watch for abbreviations (su) for normal varieties, (se) for sug- ary enhanced and (sh2) for supersweets to the right of each variety name.
INFORMATION ON SWEET CORN SEED TREATMENT
Unless noted, our sweet corn is treated with a fungicide to improve germination in cold, wet soils. Wherever possible, other seed sold in our catalog is untreated.

SUPER SWEET JUBILEE PLUS GROWING INFORMATION FOR ALL SUPER SWEET (sh2) TYPE SWEET CORNS:
Cross pollination between supersweets and other corns (including fi eld corn) will result in a starchy, undesirable kernel in both. We recommend supersweets be planted at least 25 feet from other corns in the garden and 200 feet from varieties in acreage plantings. All sweet corn requires warm soil temperatures of at least 55°F or more for good germination and 65°F for supersweets.
