Ha rris* 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. 
Despite the general shortage of sweet corn this year we have a supply of new crop seed of our own stocks. You can buy Harris’ sweet corn knowing 
that you run no danger of getting old or poorly bred seed. 
FOR HOME USE. We ad vise planting the following varieties which 
will give a constant succession of corn all through the season, Canada Gold, 
Gill's Early Market or Golden Early Market, Harris’ Extra Early Bantam, 
Buttercup, or Golden Bantam, Minims’ Hybrid, Bantam Evergreen, Gold¬ 
en Country Gentleman 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 varie¬ 
ties 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 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 lf^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 inside front cover.

Golden Country Gentleman 
Honey-Sweet and Tender 
No home garden should be without some of this new 
yellow corn. The ears grow like the old Country Gentle¬ 
man but are deep yellow and larger. In fact, this is 
the sweetest corn we have eaten this year. 
This corn matures late, coming on after most other 
varieties, and it is a real treat to have such a high qual¬ 
ity corn late in the season. The plant is husky and 
often produces two good ears. This variety is not only 
an excellent kind for the home garden, but the attractive 
ears are of such fine quality that they are sure to bring 
repeat orders at the roadside stand and market.

superb variety for the home garden.

GOLDEN GEM. The earliest Sweet Corn. (67 days.) This extra early 
yellow corn originated at the North Dakota Experiment Station and has 
proved to be the earliest variety of sweet corn. 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 conditions the 
stalks grow to 5 feet. If you wish to have the very earliest corn try 
some Golden Gem.

TREAT YOUR SEED CORN 
Many growers are getting better stands and therefore better crops by treat¬ 
ing their seed with SEMESAN JR. It protects the seed from rotting in the 
ground. The cost is so low that no grower can afford not to take advantage 
of this cheap and practical crop insurance. 2 oz. will treat a bushel of seed 
corn. See page 94 for prices. 
WHIPPLE’S YELLOW. See page 9. (78 days). Earlier than Bantam 
and as large as Evergreen. The most profitable market variety and fine 
for the home garden. You get only the true originators strain from us.

tion paid. Not paid: 12 Lbs. $2.90; 50 Lbs. $10.50. 
GOLDEN BANTAM. True 8 rowed Stock. (80 days.) This variety is 
the standard for high quality in sweet corn. The ears are 6 to 7 inches 
long with 8 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.

Goldera Giant. (85 days.) Those who want a late yellow corn with iarge 
ears will find this one of the best. The ears are 7 to 8 inches long with 
12 to 14 rows. They mature later than Golden Bantam so follow nicely 
after that variety. The quality is very fine, being sweet and tender.

BANTAM EVERGREEN 
True Northern Grown Stock 
Our Northern grown seed is of high quality and superior to much of the 
seed of this variety which is sold. This variety is a cross between Golden 
Bantam and Stowell’s Evergreen. The ears are 7 to 8 in. long with 12 to 14 
rows of large yellow kernels which are of fine quality. Matures later than 
Whipple’s Yellow and Golden Giant which are the two varieties that it 
most closely resembles. Matures in 90 days. Bantam Evergreen is becom¬ 
ing increasingly popular as a high quality corn to follow the earlier varie¬ 
ties and prolong the season.
