HARRIS* NORTHERN GROWN SEED CORN 
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 and selected for earliness and high yield. This 
insures early maturity because no late corn will get ripe in this locality. 
Our seed corn is carefully grown and cured under the most approved 
methods and the germination is usually very high. 
29-3 Double Crossed Corn —Certified 
New Heavy Yielding Hybrid Ensilage Variety 
We urge 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. 
During a five year period in which this corn was thoroughly tried out in 
many locations in New York State by the Department of Plant Breeding 
at Cornell University the results show it 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%. 
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 
highest point and results in increased yield of forage and grain. 
In season this corn is about the same as Cornell No. 11. The ears are 
of good size, even and multicolored. 
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.

CORNELL NO. 11. CERTIFIED Northern Grown. This 
i ... - ... - 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, have 14 to 18 rows of dented kernels 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.

29-3 Double Crossed Corn 
Abundant foliage and heavy set of ears 
make this an outstanding variety for ensilage. 
EARLY CORNELL NO. 11. C , E " T,F !! E “; T , h > slrai " 
- ol Cornell JNo. 11 is ten 
days to two weeks earlier than the above and produces large crops of 
rich ensilage or husking corn. Being earlier it can be grown for ears or 
ensilage even farther north than our regular strain. The ears are 
slightly smaller, being 8 to 9 inches long with 14 to 18 rows of dented 
kernels on a small cob. This is a very well bred and uniform stock.

Harris’ Mammoth Yellow Flint 
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, of not greater, than any Flint corn 
grown, except Hall’s Gold Nugget. The ears grow very long, some 
measuring 13 inches and more, have eight rows of large, bright yellow 
kernels and are filled right 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 sec¬ 
tions (even in Northern Maine) where dent varieties cannot be grown. 
2 Lbs. 50c transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (14 Lbs.) $1.25; Bu. 
(56 Lbs.) $4.00; Bag of 2 Bu. (112 Lbs.) $7.50. 
Protect Your Seed Corn from Crows 
and Other Seed Pulling Birds 
We have found that crows will not bother corn 
treated with Stanley’s Crow Repellant. The small 
cost is many times repaid, by the time and labor saved 
in not having to replant.
