Harris’ Northern Grown Sweet Corn 
Harris’ Northern grown sweet corn is earlier, hardier and more 
vigorous than seed of the same varieties grown farther south and in the 
West. For many years we have made a specialty of growing sweet corn 
seed and have spent much time and effort in careful scientific selection 
and breeding to improve the earliness, yield and quality of our varieties. 
Growers who know find it pays to use Harris’ Northern Grown Sweet 
Corn. 
Harris’ Extra Early Bantam Sweet Corn 
The Best Extra Early Yellow Corn 
Northern Grown Seed—grown under our careful supervision on nearby 
farms from our own carefully selected stock seed. 
We consider this the best all around Extra Early Yellow variety. It 
has proved to be a real money maker for gardeners. 
The ears of Harris’ Extra Early Bantam are usually 7 to 8 inches 
long and have 8 to 10 rows of yellow kernels. They are just like Golden 
Bantam in appearance and quality but they mature 10 days earlier. 
The yield is heavy. We know of no early corn which will produce 
such a large number of fine ears as Extra Early Bantam. Think of the 
difference in profits from using this early strain. The whole crop can be 
picked and sold before the market becomes flooded with the later yellow 
kinds. 
1 lb. 30c; 6 lbs. $1.35; 12 lbs. $2.40; 100 lbs. $18.00. Not prepaid.* 
“ Your Extra Early Bantam corn has proved to he the greatest we have ever raised .” 
We have given your name to a great many. J. A. Connolly, Woonsocket, R. I. April 15,1932. 
Golden Cross Bantam 
Wilt Resistant-High Yielding-Uniformly Large Ears 
We recommend this hybrid sweet corn for places where Stewart’s 
Disease (wilt) make 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 remarkably uniform in length (about 8 in.) and are 
of excellent quality. They mature about a week later than Golden Ban¬ 
tam, the whole crop ripening at about the same time. 
This crossed seed was produced by controlled cross pollination of 
two inbred 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 cross has 
to be made each year. 
Many trials all over the country have proved that this corn is very resistant 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. 
1 lb. 50c; 6 lbs. $2.65; 12 lbs. $5.00; 100 lbs. $40.00. Not Prepaid.* 
Golden Early Market (Gill’s) 
Same as Golden Hummer, Extra Early Golden, Extra Early Yellow, Etc. 
Be sure to get the true strain of this variety as there are many different strains of this corn 
sold under a great variety of names. We obtained our stock seed from the originator and have 
carefully grown our seed crop here in the North for the last two years. 
The ears resemble closely Gill’s Early Market (White) being 7 to 8 in. long and containing 
10 to 12 rows of broad yellow kernels. The quality is very good. 
This has proved to be a very popular kind with market growers and at roadside stands. 
1 lb. 30c; 6 lbs. $1.35; 12 lbs. $2.40; 100 lbs. $18.00. Not prepaid.* 
* We prepay freight on sweet corn if your order for vegetable seeds including sweet corn 
amounts to $20.00 or more.
