Indian Corn

Indian Corn (Zea) - Z. Mays is one of the noblest of the grasses that thrive in our climate, almost indispensable to our gardens, with its fine appearance either isolated or associated with other fine-leaved plants. Cuzko and Caragua are the largest of the green varieties, and gracillima the smallest and most graceful. The seeds should be sown on a gentle hot-bed in April, although they will occasionally succeed out of doors. Gradually harden off the plants before they have made many leaves, keeping them in a cool frame near the glass, so as to keep them sturdy, finally exposing them by taking off the lights.
