HARRIS* NORTHERN 
It is of the greatest importance to growers in the northern parts of the 
country to use seed raised in the north. All of our special stocks are grown 
here in Western New York near Lake Ontario and selected for earliness and 
high yield. This insures early maturity because no late corn will get ripe 
in this locality. Our crops of field corn this year have been very good. 
Our seed corn is cured under the most approved methods and the ger¬ 
mination is usually very high. 
29-3 Double Crossed Corn 
New Heavy Yielding Hybrid Ensilage Variety 
This new hybrid corn is the result of years of work by the department 
of Plant Breeding at Cornell University. It is made by crossing pure 
strains of four separate varieties of corn; Luce’s Favorite, Onondaga White 
Dent, Cornell No. 11 and Bloody Butcher. These pure strains are paired 
and crossed and the crossed seed from each pair is planted and a second 
cross made between the two hybrids. The resulting seed is known as 
double crossed corn. In this manner the hybrid vigor is carried to the high¬ 
est point and results in increased yield of forage and grain. 
During the past five years this corn has been thoroughly tried out in 
many locations in New York State by the Department of Plant Breeding 
at Cornell University and the results show it has produced practically the 
same amount of green weight as Sweepstakes, but it has exceeded that 
variety in dry weight by 11% and in grain about 55%. 
In season this corn is about the same as Cornell No. 11 and the ears are 
of good size, and multicolored. 
We urge those of our customers who plant ensilage corn to try this variety 
for themselves as we feel sure that due to the higher proportion of digestible 
food in the ensilage it will prove the most economical silage type to grow. 
The seed we offer is the crop from artificial crossing of the first crossed 
seed described above which we obtained from Cornell University, and 
like all crossed corn, the resulting crop should not be saved for seed. 
Certified Seed. Pk. (14 Lbs.) $1.65; Bu. (56 Lbs.) $5.25; 2 Bu. 
Bag $10.00. Purchaser pays transportation. 
CERTIFIED CORNELL NO. 11—Northern Grown. This early Yellow 
Dent corn is being grown more and more every year for ensilage. In 
Western and Northern New York, Massachusetts and further north, 
it matures early enough for this purpose and yields immense crops of 
very rich fodder with an abundance of grain. 
Cornell No. 11 has proved to be one of the heaviest yielding varieties 
that is early enough to mature in the northern states. It is quite 
similar to Davis’ Early Huron, but is not quite so early and the ears 
and stalks are both a little larger. The ears are of good length, 9 to 10 
inches long, and have 14 to 18 rows and small cobs. The kernels are 
bright yellow, large, and very “deep” for so early a variety. The cob 
is red. The stalks grow 8 feet tall. 
The seed we offer has been grown for us here in Monroe County under 
our close supervision. This is a very superior stock of Cornell No. 11. 
Certified Seed. 2 Lbs. 45c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. 
(14 Lbs.) 95c; Bu. (56 Lbs.) $3.25; 2 Bu. Bag $6.00. 
HALL’S GOLD NUGGET—The Largest Flint Corn. We introduced 
this corn a number of years ago and it has now become very popular. 
The ears grow very large, often 12 to 13 inches long and over 6 inches 
around. The kernels are immense being twice as large as most other 
varieties. The stalks grow 8 to 9 feet high and are well covered with 
leaves and often produce two good big ears. 
The corn matures medium early and is suitable for almost any section 
of the country except the most northern parts of New York and New 
England and a few places of high elevation. 
For the Silo. The Gold Nugget is one of the best varieties for ensilage 
in the northern parts of the country. The fodder is of excellent quality 
and the tonnage large. The proportion of grain to stalks is high. 
2 Lbs. 50c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (14 Lbs.) $1.00; Bu. 
(56 Lbs.) $3.50; 2 Bu. $6.75. 
HARRIS’ MAMMOTH YELLOW FLINT. We have grown and bred 
this fine corn here in the North for a good many years and consider it 
one of the best Flint or “State” corns. The ears are big, the kernels 
large and the yield equal, if not greater, than any Flint corn grown, 
except Hall’s Gold Nugget. 
The ears grow very long, some measuring 13 inches and more, and have 
eight rows of large, bright yellow kernels which are filled out to the tips. 
The cob is small, the stalks grow about 6 to 8 feet tall, have numerous 
broad leaves and make excellent fodder. The ears are produced well above 
the ground, so the stalks can be readily cut with a binder. This corn will 
ripen ready to cut in 90 days from the time the corn comes up. 
For the Silo. This is a valuable ensilage corn in far northern sections 
(even in Northern Maine) where dent varieties cannot be grown. 
2 Lbs. 40c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (14 Lbs.) 95c; Bu. 
(56 Lbs.) $3.15; Bag of 2 Bu. (112 Lbs.) $6.00. 
GROWN SEED CORN 
CertifiedWest Branch Sweepstakes 
These large ears and heavy foliage make excellent ensilage. 
CERTIFIED WEST BRANCH SWEEPSTAKES—Northern Grown. 
On our own farm this corn produced twice as many tons per acre as two 
other varieties in the same field. The stalks grow 10 to 12 feet high and 
are completely covered with leaves from near the ground to the top. 
The ears are 12 to 15 in. long and 14 to 18 rows of deep kernels. The 
usual color is yellow shaded with red. Mature perfectly for the silo by 
the middle of September when planted the last of May or first of June. 
This seed was all grown here in Monroe County from our own carefully 
selected stock seed, which has been selected not only for earliness but 
for large size and trueness to type. 
Certified Seed. 2 Lbs. 50c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. 
(14 Lbs.) $1.00; Bu. (56 Lbs.) $3.40; 2 Bu. $6.50. 
SWEEPSTAKES (West Branch). We can also offer this uncertified 
stock of the true West Branch seed of high germination. Superior to 
most of the Sweepstakes offered. 
Pk. (14 Lbs.) 90c; Bu. (56 Lbs.) $3.00; 2 Bu. $5.75. Purchaser 
pays transportation. 
Early “Red Glaze’’ or King Phillip. This very early Flint or “State” 
corn always matures even in the most northern parts of the country, 
where other kinds fail to ripen before frost. The ears are red, grow 
9 to 10 inches long, 8 rowed, have a very small cob and are well filled to 
the tips. The stalks grow about 6 or 7 feet tall and are not coarse. 
Shelled corn from choice ears, all grown here in Monroe County. 
2 Lbs. 40c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (14 Lbs.) 95c; Bu. 
(56 Lbs.) $3.15; Bag of 2 Bu. $6.00.
