In My Garden Corn-in-the-cob--a most delectable and satisfying vegetable—has been
grown more widely than ever before in English gardens. Generally it has made good solid heads; but experience has once again proved that the right varieties must be grown: specially early strains or sorts are necessary, and these are now supplied by. most of the bigger seedsmen and can be relied on to ripen sufficiently in any sort of summer. It might be well worth the while of poultry-keepers to grow quite a considerable crop, at any rate in war-time. Some of our American visitors clamour for it and have made it a profitable crop in the market. One country- home dweller has grown exactly two crops for sale: corn, or maize, and scabious—the most profitable perhaps of all flower crops.
