Hybrid Sweet Corn 
Hybrid Sweet Corn has taken a very definite place among the varieties most used for 
market and canning and deservedly so. However, there are so many hybrids that there is a 
great deal of confusion in regard to their respective merits and uses. Many think that a 
hybrid must be good simply because it is a hybrid, which is not true. 
We observe many hybrids in our trial grounds each year and a great many of them show 
the results of careless growing and inferior parentage. Good hybrids can only come from 
carefully selected pure line parent stock and constant detasseling of the seed parent in 
the field. This is expensive work but it is the only way that first class hybrid stocks can be grown. 
Early Bancross 39 
A New Early Grossed Corn 
We’ve gotten a big kick out of the way this corn has 
performed in our trials and our customers who tried it last 
year have been just as enthusiastic. They tell us there’s 
nothing like it. 
The ears are very attractive, 73^ to 8 inches long, 
cylindrical and with 10 to 14 rows of bright yellow kernels. 
The plant is rugged and prolific, with the majority of the 
plants producing two good ears. 
Our seed of this new hybrid has been produced under 
our careful supervision by a top cross of Purdue 39 on our 
own selected stock seed of Harris’ Extra Early Bantam. 
In our trials the ears have matured 10 days earlier than 
Golden Cross Bantam. This corn should be sown at the 
same rate as the open polinated varieties. 
As is true with all crossed corn, seed produced from 
this seed should not be saved to sow next year.

Golden Cross Bantam 
Wilt Resistant—High Yielding—Uniformly Large Ears 
Sow not more than six pounds per acre. 
Now a standard variety for areas which are infected 
with Stewart’s Disease (wilt) and in many other places 
that grow.canning and market corn. Every pound of the 
seed we offer was grown here in Western New York from 
pure line parents and was thoroughly detasseled. This is 
the only way that pure Golden Cross Bantam can be pro¬ 
duced. 
This corn produces large crops of beautiful ears, having 
10 to 14 rows of light golden yellow kernels which are re¬ 
markably uniform in length (about 8 in.) and of excellent 
quality. They mature about a week later than Golden 
Bantam, the whole crop ripening at nearly the same time. 
As is true with all crossed corn, crops produced from 
this seed should not be saved for seed next year.

Whipple’s Yellow 
Harris’ Original Northern Grown Stock Early Bancross 39 
We are the original introducers of Whipple’s Yellow Corn and since its introduction in 1920 
we have constantly bred and selected it for earliness, uniformity of size and high yield. 
We have seen many other stocks of Whipple’s Yellow grown in comparison with our own and 
have been greatly impressed by the fact that ours stands head and shoulders above all the rest. 
You cannot afford to grow just an ordinary strain of this fine corn. 
Every pound of this variety which we sell is grown here in the North, on or near our own farm, 
from our own carefully bred stock seed. The only safe way to do is to buy your seed direct from 
headquarters and you will be sure that you are getting the true original Whipple’s Yellow. 
Note—When ordering please write “ Whipple's Yellow" not just “Whipple s" as that will confuse 
it with Whipple's Early which is a white corn. See prices on next page.
