Harris' Extra Early Bantam 
The Most Prolific Very Early Yellow Sweet Corn 
Since we introduced this corn in 1926 it has steadily grown in popularity among 
home and market growers. Everyone wants Golden Bantam corn as early as 
possible. There are very few kinds, either early or late, quite equal to it in quality. 
By using Harris’ Extra Early Bantam you can get lots of corn ten days earlier than 
with the old strain of Bantam. This variety is remarkable for its large yields of 
good ears, there being more often than not two good ears on each stalk. 
The ears are just the same as the True Golden Bantam; 8-rowed, of medium 
length (6 to 7 inches long) deep yellow color and of superior flavor. It is the only 
very early corn of the true Bantam type. 
The seed we offer is a very carefully bred strain of our own growing which is 
uniformly early and nearly all eight rowed. 
Market growers find Harris’ Extra Early Bantam a very profit¬ 
able corn to grow. The fine quality and attractive appearance of 
such an early corn makes it a ready seller. The high yield per 
acre of fine ears which this corn produces makes it a most profitable kind. 
We consider this one of the finest varieties for the home garden also. This 
fine qaulity corn maturing as it does so early in the season is a real treat.

Whipple's Yellow Sweet Corn 
The Largest Early Yellow Variety —See photo on page 26 
Since we introduced this corn in 1920 it has become one of the most pop¬ 
ular varieties of sweet corn grown and deservedly so. During the past 
fifteen years we have seen our sales of this variety grow from a few hundred 
pounds to many ions of seed annually. 
The ears are twice as large as Golden Bantam and mature tivo or three 
days earlier. The ears are 8 to 9 in. long and have 14 to 18 rows of deep yellow 
kernels of very fine quality. Many of our customers are surprised that such 
a large ear can be so sweet and tender. The stalks grow quite tall and 
often produce two large ears of nearly equal size. 
Growers have found this to be one of the most profitable sweet corns to 
raise for market and nearly a week before any corn of equal size. Because 
of its great popularity, there are now many inferior stocks being offered. 
We take great pains in selecting our stock of this corn and have spent 
much effort in improving it both in size and earliness since we first introduced 
it. All the seed we offer is Northern Grown on our own farm and on neigh¬ 
boring farms under our most careful supervision. Buy your seed of Whipple’s 
Yellow direct from the introducer and know you are getting the true strain.

Early Bantam 
China Cucumber— Grow this for FINE QUALITY 
“Planted acre of your Extra Early Bantam 
corn April 30th. Although a cold spring, picked 
my first ears July 23d. Was the first around here 
to have early corn. Everyone praised its taste." 
Harold E. Alley, Wilbraham, Mass. Apr. 5, 3935. 
This remarkable cucumber from China is of finer quality than any other 
variety we know. The fruit is very long, often reaching 20 inches in length 
and only 2 inches through. The skin is bright green and nearly smooth, the spines 
being few and small. The flesh is white, firm, extremely crisp, and of the very best 
quality. The vines are vigorous and healthy. 
If you want really good cucumbers that are solid and crisp raise some China. 
They have no equal for quality except possibly some of the hothouse varieties. 
We consider this one of the very best cucumbers for the home garden and many 
of our customers find it sells remarkably well at the road¬ 
side stand. Once your customers have tried it, they are 
sure to come back for more.

Harris* Special Bender’s Surprise Muslcmelons growing on Moreton Farm 
Bender's Surprise Melon — Harris* Special Strain 
A Grand Muskmelon for Home and Market 
The Bender melon has without doubt become the most popular of the 
larger melons because of its size, attractive appearance, excellent flavor and 
fine keeping qualities. 
The melons are large, many weighing 10 lbs. or more. We have had 
melons weigh 16 pounds and our customers have reported even heavier ones. 
The flesh is very thick, deep orange in color and very fine flavor. The 
skin is light green, turning to a deep golden tint when ripe. The netting is 
so heavy and the flesh so firm and thick that these melons will remain firm 
and actually improve in quality for five or six days after picking. 
In season the Bender is medium early and in a favorable year, if the seed is 
planted in the open ground by the middle of May, they will ripen the last 
of August. 
Harris’ Special Strain of the Bender melon has been bred on our own farm 
for fifteen years with special attention being paid to sweetness and fino 
flavor as well as type. It is much superior to the usual stocks of this variety.
