HYBRID SWEET CORN
Plant seed in no fewer than 4 rows side-by-side to ensure good pol- lination. Plant rows 2-1/2 to 3 ft. apart, spacing about 5 in. apart. Thin early varieties to 10 in. apart, later varieties to 18 in. apart. Get a quicker start in cold soils by boosting the moisture content just be- fore sowing.

03907 EARLIVEE (su). Our earliest 14 row su sweet corn with ear size substantially larger than Early Sunglow. Replaces Polarvee due to it's larger 8 in. ear size, bright yellow kernels and improved eating quality. Developed in Canada at a breeding station where they really know about early sweet corns. No other extra-early su corn matches the size of this one. Grows well in short-season areas where many common varieties won't ma- ture. If you garden in an area where cool temperatures often present a prob- lem for sweet corn, or just want good eating earlier in the season, this is the one to plant. 71 days. (A) Pkt. (1 oz.) $2.75; 2 pkts. $4.65; (N) 1/2 lb. $10.50; (P) 1 lb. $18.95; (P) 4 lb. $65.95.
