It is found, however, that most gardeners insist upon growing sweet corn even ina limited way. For the best results it should be planted in a block in one corner of the garden rather than in single rows. For hoe cultivation the hills may be as close as three feet apart in each direction and three stalks may-be grown in each hill. Plant as soon as danger of frost is past. Cover the seed to a depth of about one and one-half inches and | give frequent cultivation from the start or until the ears have beg to form.

SQUASHES Two distinct types of squashes are commonly grown in home gar- dens—the summer squashes, the fruits of which are used while they are young and tender, and the fall and winter squashes, which are ripened | and used during the winter months. The small-growing summer squashes are best adapted to planting | in the average garden. The larger or standard varieties are better | adapted to field culture, although one or two hills might be planted in a corner or along one side of the garden. The hills in which summer squashes are grown should be fully four feet apart and a little manure and fertilizer should be worked into each hill as it is being made. Plant eight or ten seeds to a hill and thin to not more than three lime to the west in 1867. plants. The seeds should not be planted until all danger of frost is past.—United States Department of Agriculture.
