Karris' Northern Grown Sweet Corn 
We not only sell the best varieties of sweet corn for the North, but grow the seed ourselves, so we know what we are talking about. 
Our Northern Grown Sweet corn is far superior in earliness and quality to the same varieties raised from seed grown in the south and west where a 
large part of the sweet corn seed is grown. We have large specially constructed drying houses for curing and drying our seed corn, and we are able to 
offer seed which is of strong vitality and the highest quality in every way. It is very carefully selected and tested for germination, and the percentage 
that will grow is marked on each package so that you will run no risk of failure in planting our corn. 
FOR HOME USE. We advise planting the following varieties which 
will give a constant succession of corn all through the season. Gill’s Early 
Market or Golden Early Market, Harris’ Extra Early Bantam, Buttercup, 
or Golden Bantam, Mimm’s Hybrid, Bantam Evergreen and Country 
Gentleman or Long Island Beauty. A month or six weeks later make 
another planting of Buttercup or Golden Bantam for late use. 
If pure yellow corn or pure white corn is wanted, do not plant near 
varieties of other colors. The pollen of the white corn will cause some 
kernels of the yellow varieties to turn white, giving the ear a spotted 
appearance. The yellow kinds will also cause the white corn to be spotted 
HARRIS’ EXTRA EARLY BANTAM. See page 9. (70 days). Ten 
days to two weeks earlier than Golden Bantam. This is a very profitable 
corn for gardeners and fine for the home garden.

GOLDEN GEM. The Earliest Sweet Corn. (67 days.) A new early 
yellow corn originated at the North Dakota Experiment Station. This 
proved to be the earliest corn in our trials this year. The ears are 6 in. 
long 8 to 10 rows of bright yellow kernels. Unlike many very early 
kinds it is of very excellent quality. It is important to give this corn 
good rich land to make its best growth. When grown under good con¬ 
ditions the stalks grow to 5 feet. If you wish to have the very 
earliest corn try some Golden Gem.

Golden Sunshine. (74 days.) An extra early yellow variety of merit. 
Ears have 10 to 12 rows and are 6 to 7 in. long and the corn is of excellent 
quality. Matures a week earlier than Golden Bantam.

Buttercup Sweet Corn 
Sweeter than Golden Bantam—the Ears are Larger 
This is the sweetest corn we have ever eaten and it is deliciously succu¬ 
lent and tender. 
The ears are of good length (8 to 10 inches) and have 8 to 10 rows of 
large kernels of a rich “June butter” yellow. The Buttercup contains 
more sugar than any variety we have tried. Some people think it is almost 
too sweet. It is medium early, maturing the same time as Golden Bantam. 
For market Buttercup is a very profitable corn. There is always a good 
demand for yellow sweet corn, and the large attractive ears of the Butter¬ 
cup command a premium over other kinds. 
We advise all our customers who wish Buttercup this year to order early 
as our crop is short and we will probably be“sold out” early in the season.

with yellow kernels. Do not plant sweet corn near field corn. 
Corn should never be planted in a single row. It is much better to plant 
in three or four rows side by side. This is because the pollen does not 
fertilize the ears well when planted in a single row. 
Note: We now sell corn by weight only.One pound is about 1}/% pt., 6 lbs. 
equals 4 quarts and 12 lbs. a peck. 25 lbs. or more of one variety are sold at 
the 50 lb. price. If your order for seeds including sweet corn, amounts to 
$20.00 or more, we will pay transportation on sweet corn in quantities listed 
“not paid”. See page 3. 
Yellow Varieties 
Golden Early Market (Gill's) 
Also called Golden Hummer, Extra Early 
Golden, Extra Early Yellow, Etc. 
This new corn is much of the same character 
as Gill’s Early Market (White) and is altogether 
a very fine extra early yellow corn. To those who 
want an early yellow with large ears we can 
recommend this variety very highly. 
The ears are of good size 12 rows, 7 to 8 in. long, 
well filled with broad butter yellow kernels. The 
quality is very good but not quite equal to Extra 
Early Bantam. 
This corn is one of the best extra early vari¬ 
eties being ready with us about the same time as 
Extra Early Bantam, and earlier than any com 
with such large ears. 
There are many stocks of this corn on the 
market under a great variety of names. We ob¬ 
tained our stock seed direct from the originators 
and grow the seed here in Monroe County in 
order to be sure to have the true strain.

WHIPPLE’S YELLOW. See page 9. (78 days). Earlier than Bantam 
and as large as Evergreen. A most profitable market variety and fine 
for the home garden. You get only the true originators strain from us.

GOLDEN BANTAM. (80 days.) This variety is the standard for high 
quality in sweet corn. The ears are 6 to 7 inches long with 8 to 10 rows 
of deep yellow kernels which are deliciously sweet and tender. Matures 
medium early. Our stock has been carefully bred and it will be found 
far superior to most Golden Bantam in uniformity of type and high quality.

Golden Cross Bantam 
Wilt Resistant—High Yield—Uniform 
We recommend this new hybrid sweet corn for places where Stewart’s dis¬ 
ease (wilt) makes it impossible to grow ordinary varieties of sweet corn. 
This corn which is the product of crossing two pure lines is not only resistant 
to bacterial wilt (Stewart’s disease) but produces larger crops of beautiful 
ears. The ears have 10 to 14 rows of light golden yellow kernels, are remark¬ 
ably uniform in length (about 8 in.) and are of excellent quality. They 
mature about a week later than Golden Bantam, the whole crop ripening 
at about the same time. 
This crossed seed was produced by the controlled pollination of two in- 1 
bred parents (Purdue Bantam and Purdue No. 51) in 1933 and will produce 
the true Golden Cross Bantam described above in 1934. However, seed 
from the 1934 crop cannot be saved for 1935 as it will break down. The j 
cross has to be made each year. 
Many trials all over the country have proved that this corn is very resist¬ 
ant to Stewart’s disease (wilt) and is adapted to a wide range of soils. It 
will mature in all but the most northern parts of the United States.
