Harris' Northern Grown Seed Corn 
29-3 Double Crossed Corn 
The Abundant Foliage and Heavy Set of Ears make this the outstanding ensilage variety. 
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 so that the germination is usually very high. 
29-3 Double Crossed Corn —Certified 
New Heavy Yielding Hybrid Ensilage Variety 
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 it produced practically the same amount of green 
weight as Sweepstakes, but 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 lines 
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. 
Since the introduction of this new variety it has become very popular. 
This is due not only to the enormous crops but also because of the high 
proportion of digestible food in the ensilage which makes it the most 
economical ensilage corn to grow.

Lbs.) $1.50; Bu. (56 Lbs.) $5.25; 2 Bu. Bag $10.00. 
CORNELL NO. 11. Certified MorthernGrown I n West- 
— ern and Northern New York, Massa¬ 
chusetts and further north, Cornell No. 11 matures early enough for 
ensilage 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 often grow 8 feet tall. 
Our stock has been grown for us entirely here in Monroe County 
under our close supervision. It is a very superior stock. 
Certified Seed. Pk. (14 Lbs.) 90c; Bu. (56 Lbs.) $3.25; 2 Bu. Bag 
$6.00. Purchaser pays transportation. 
HARRIS’ MAMMOTH YELLOW FLINT. I h ; 
- Best 
Flint Corn. 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, 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 sections 
(even in Northern Maine) where dent varieties cannot be grown. 
2 Lbs. 30c; transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (14 Lbs.) 90c; Bu. (56 
Lbs.) $3.25; Bag of 2 Bu. (112 Lbs.) $6.00. 
EARLY CORNELL NO. 11. C , E " TIF !, E ? 
-- ot Cornell No. 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. 
Certified Seed. Pk. (14 Lbs.) 90c; Bu. (56 Lbs.) $3.25; 2 Bu. Bag

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 Repellent. The small 
cost is many times repaid, by the time and labor saved 
in not having to replant.
