JOSEPH HARRIS COMPANY, INC., COLDWATER, NEW YORK 
Early Bancross 39 
This new crossed corn has proved a winner for growers who want a large uniform ear maturing 
before Golden Cross Bantam. The ears are the same size and shape as Golden Cross Bantam and 
are ready fully ten days earlier. 
The plant is rugged and prolific, with the majority of the plants producing two good ears. In 
sections which had Stewart’s Disease (wilt), Early Bancross 39 has produced large early crops 
where other corn has failed. 
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. This corn should be sown 
at the same rate as the open polinated varieties.

Harris’ Extra Early Bantam —The Heaviest Yielding Extra Early Sort 
Since we introduced this corn in 1927 it has proved one of the most profitable varieties for 
the grower ever offered. It is not only an extremely heavy yielder but is one of the earliest varieties, 
maturing ears which can be sold at high prices before the market becomes flooded with corn. 
The ears resemble true Golden Bantam in size and shape and high quality but mature 
ten days earlier. They are up to 7" long with 8-10 rows of 
golden yellow kernels, very uniform in size and appear¬ 
ance and of fine quality. See prices on next page. 
Whipple’s Yellow 
Harris’ Original Northern Grown Stock 
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 without exception 
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 care¬ 
fully 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 Whipples Yellow.' 
Note. When ordering please write 11 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. 
Golden Gross Bantam 
Wilt Resistant—High Yielding—Uniformly Large Ears 
Golden Cross Bantam has established itself as the most 
important hybrid corn for market and canning, especially in 
places where wilt (Stewart’s Disease) is troublesome. The 
demand has been so great that many inferior stocks are 
being offered. Growers should be particularly careful to get 
their seed from reliable sources. You can depend on our 
stock. It is outstanding for uniformity and high yield. 
Every pound was grown here in Western New York from 
tested pure line parents and the crop was thoroughly de- 
tasseled. 
This stock will produce large crops of beautiful ears, 
having 10 to 14 rows of light golden yellow kernels which 
are remarkably uniform in length (about 8 in.) and of excel¬ 
lent quality. They mature about a week later than Golden 
Bantam, the whole crop ripening at nearly the same time. 
Sow not more than six pounds per acre.

Seneca “60”— The Earliest Hybrid 
This new corn is the earliest Hybrid and one of the earliest varieties grown. In our trials last 
year it was ready in 65 days and we have seen it mature in sixty days. 
The stalks are 4 to 4}-^ feet tall, with ears about 6 inches long, eight rowed, and ripening 
a large part of the crop over a short period of time. We recommend this corn to growers who 
have been using Golden Gem. See prices on next page.
