EARLY BANCROSS 39. 
Harris ’ Early Bancross 39 
Ideal for market or roadside stand. 
A New Early Crossed Corn. (76 days.) This 
stock is the product of carefully top crossing of 
Purdue 39 on our own selected seed of Harris’ Extra Early Bantam. 
In our trials this new hybrid matured fully 10 days earlier than Golden Cross Ban¬ 
tam and 2 or 3 days earlier than Golden Bantam. It has proved to be resistant to 
Stewart’s disease and is the outstanding early hybrid to grow in areas where wilt is 
bothersome. 
The ears are very attractive being 7L£ to 8 in. long, very uniform and cylindrical 
with 10 to 14 rows of bright yellow kernels of fine quality. The plant is rugged and 
prolific many stalks producing two good ears. 
Sow at the same rate as the open polinated varieties.

NORTHERN CROSS. NEW HARRIS HYBRID Tremendous Yie.der 
____ —Large Ears- (7d days.) We are proud ol this new 
hybrid corn of ours which we obtained by crossing two of our own inbreds. Those who 
grew this new hybrid last year were greatly impressed by its many sterling qualities 
Northern Cross is a hybrid of great vigor, producing fine stands of strong sturdy 
plants which seem to grow by leaps and bounds and produce tremendous crops of 
fine large ears. There are usually two and often three good ears to a plant. 
The ears are large, eight inches long with twelve to fourteen rows of bright yellow 
kernels which are deliciously succulent and tender. High quality is one of the 
outstanding features of this corn. 
Northern Cross is a medium early variety, maturing ears in about seventy-five 
days. This is a few days earlier than Whipple’s Yellow which it resembles greatly 
in type of ear. Altogether this is a fine new corn and we recommend it most highly.

GOLDEN GEM. The Earliest Sweet Corn. (67 days.) This extra early yellow corn 
has proved to be the earliest variety. The ears are not large (6 in. long with 8 to 10 
rows of bright yellow kernels) but 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 4to 5 feet. If you want the very earliest corn try some Golden Gem.

WHIPPLE’S YELLOW. 
When Different Varieties Mature 
We give after the names of the different varieties listed in this 
catalogue the approximate number of days required in which the 
corn matures after planting. As the time required varies greatly 
according to the weather, time of planting, and fertility of the 
soil the figures should be regarded as relative rather than actual, 
although they are taken from our trials which were planted about 
the middle of May. 
The Largest Early Yellow Variety. (77 days.) 
Our customers who have grown this corn since we 
introduced it in 1920 know what a grand kind it is. Its many fine qualities have made 
it one of the most popular varieties ever grown. 
The ears are twice as large as Golden Bantam and mature two or three days earlier. 
They are 8 to 9 in. long and have 14 to 18 rows of deep yellow kernels of very fine 
quality. All who try it for the first time 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 
the same size. 
Growers have found this to be one of the most profitable sweet corns to raise for 
market as it is nearly a week before any corn of equal size. 
We take great pains in selecting our stock of this corn and have im¬ 
proved it both in size and earliness since we first introduced it. All the 
seed we offer is grown on our own farm and on neighboring farms under 
our most careful supervision. Buy from the original source and be 
sure of your crop.
