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 con¬ 
structed 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 per¬ 
centage 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, Canada Gold, 
Harris’ Extra Early Bantam, Buttercup, or Golden Bantam, Mimm’s 
Hybrid, Bantam Evergreen, Golden 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 
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 ap¬ 
pearance. 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 1}4 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 ivill pay transportation on sweet corn in quantities listed 
“not paid." See inside front cover. 
Yellow Varieties 
HARRIS’ EXTRA EARLY BANTAM. True Original Strain. See

Bantam. This has proved to be a very profitable corn for market 
gardeners and a superb variety for the home garden.

GOLDEN GEM. The earliest Sweet Corn. (67 days.) This extra early 
yellow corn 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. Under good conditions the stalks grow 4)^ to 5 
feet. If you wish to have the very earliest corn try some Golden Gem. 
Pkt. 10c; V2 Lb. 20c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c; 6 Lbs. $i.55 transportation

quality. Matures a week earlier than Golden Bantam.

GOLDEN EARLY MARKET (Gill’s). Also called Golden Hummer, 
Extra Early Golden, Extra Early Yellow, Etc. This 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 highly. 
The ears are of good size, 12 rows, 7 inches long, well filled with broad 
butter yellow kernels. The quality is very good but not equal to Extra 
Early Bantam. Matures with us with Extra Early Bantam. 
There are many stocks of this corn being sold under a great variety of 
names. We obtained our stock seed direct from the originators and 
grow the seed here in Monroe County in order to have the true strain.

WHIPPLE’S YELLOW. The most popular large early corn. See

BUTTERCUP—Sweeter, Larger Ears than Golden Bantam. This is 
one of the sweetest corns we have ever eaten and is delicious, succulent 
and tender. The ears are longer than Golden Bantam, have 8 to 10 rows 
of large kernels of a rich “June butter” yellow. We have grown and bred 
this corn ourselves for years. See also page 10.

GOLDEN BANTAM. True 8 rowed Stock. (80 days.) 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. 
Pkt. 10c; 1/2 Lb. 20c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c; 6 Lbs. $1.55 transportation 
paid. Not paid: 12 Lbs. $2.15; 50 Lbs. $7.50. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. Wilt Resistant—High Yielding—Uni¬ 
form. We recommend this hybrid sweet corn for places where Stewart’s 
disease (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 golden yellow kernels, 
uniform in length (about 8 in.) and of excellent quality. Matures a week 
later than Golden Bantam, the whole crop ripening at about the same 
time. 
This crossed seed was produced by the carefully controlled pollination 
of two imbred parents in 1935 and will produce the true Golden Cross 
Bantam described above in 1936. Seed from the 1936 crop should not 
be saved for 1937 as it will break down. The cross has to be made 
each year. Use not more than 6 lbs. per acre. 
Pkt. 10c; V 2 Lb. 30c; Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 95c; 6 Lbs. $2.75 transportation 
paid. Not paid: 12 Lbs. $4.70; 50 Lbs. $18.00.
