MARKET GARDENERS AND FLORISTS PRICE LIST—1939 13 
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 1938 
trials which were planted about the middle of May.

“For four years I've supplied the towns-people, Reddy's Market, and a large boy’s camp with Harris' corn. So far I’ve 
had no complaints as to the size and quality of the ears. In fact, I’ve had hard work in meeting the demand during the busy 
season. I’ve tried every seed-house but you can’t beat Harris' tested seed in quality and quantity of production. 
Bruce Symonds, Contoocook, N. H. May 17, 1938
