VEGETABLES OF SPEC/AL MEP/T 
Northern Cross Sweet Corn 
New Harris Hybrid, Tremendous Yielder. Large Ears 
Northern Cross is a hybrid of great vigor, producing fine 
stands of strong sturdy plants which seem to grow by leaps 
and bounds. It produces tremendous crops of fine large ears. 
There are usually two and often three good ears to a plant. 
This is a sweet corn of the highest quality. The ears re¬ 
semble the well known Whipple’s Yellow in shape. They are 
large, eight inches long with twelve to fourteen rows of bright 
yellow kernels which are delicate, succulent and tender. 
Northern Cross is a medium early variety, maturing ears 
in about seventy-three days. 
We are proud of this new hybrid corn of ours which we 
obtained by crossing two of our own inbreds. Those who have 
grown it during the past two years were greatly impressed 
by its many sterling qualities. We cannot recommend this 
corn too highly.

Harris' Double Yield — The Most Prolific Pickle 
We consider this the best pickle cucumber grown. It is noted for its 
ability to produce enormous quantities of pickles of the most desirable 
shape and color, often producing twice as many as any other variety. 
The fruit is of medium length, very straight with blunt ends and of deep 
green color making either fine small pickles or “dills.” 
Double Yield is also the earliest cucumber with which we are 
acquainted. It can be planted late and also because of its uniform fine 
shape many gardeners find it desirable to plant some for slicing cucumbers 
before other kinds have commenced to bear. After a picking or two of 
cucumbers, the vines will continue to bear and produce many pickles 
of the finest type.

If you want a long deep green cucumber of the finest quality 
try this kind. We regard Harris’ Perfection as the best cucum¬ 
ber in this class both for home use and market. The fruit is 
dark green with fine white rays at the blossom end, giving it a 
very attractive appearance. It is crisp, solid and of the finest 
quality and retains its color for a long time after being picked. 
We have grown this cucumber for many years and by careful 
selection have obtained a strain that is more uniform than 
any similar variety we know of. The fruit is about 8 in. long 
when ready to pick and will average over 12 inches in length 
when mature. 
The attractive ap- 
pea ranee, deep green 
color and uniformity 
of size make these cu¬ 
cumbers sell for a pre¬ 
mium on the market 
and roadside stands.

Harris’ 
Cucumber 
“/ have raised these cucumbers (Double 
Yield ) for years and must say they satisfy the 
best of any I have ever seen. They run uniform 
in size and are good bearers with very few culls.” 
Albert V. Cox, Bullville, N. Y. June 17, 1938.

Bender's Surprise— Harris* Special Strain 
A Grand Muskmelon for Home and Market 
This melon has become the most popular of the larger kinds. 
The fruits are big and heavy, many weighing 10 lbs. or more. 
We have had melons weigh 16 pounds and our 
customers have reported even heavier ones. 
The flesh is very thick, deep orange in color and 
very fine flavor. The skin is light green, turning to 
a deep golden tint when ripe. The netting is so 
heavy and the flesh so firm and thick that these 
melons will remain firm and actually improve in 
quality for five or six days after picking. 
In season the Bender is medium early and in a 
favorable year, if the seed is planted in the open 
ground by the middle of May, they will ripen 
shortly after the middle of August. 
Our Special Strain of the Bender melon has been 
grown on our own farm for over twenty years. We 
have paid special attention to sweetness and fine 
flavor as well as type and large yields and it is so 
vastly superior to most Bender seed sold that it 
could be truly called a separate variety.
