HARRIS’ EXTRA EARLY BANTAM. J he 
-- Very Early Yellow 
Sweet Corn. (68 days.) This fine corn which we introduced in 1926 is con¬ 
sidered by home gardeners and commercial growers to be one of the finest 
sweet corns ever grown. I f is identical to Golden Bantam for size, shape and 
high quality but is actually ten days to two weeks earlier, being among the 
earliest varieties of sweet corn. It is also one of the most prolific varieties. 
More often than not each stalk will have two well developed ears. 
It is the only very early corn of the true Bantam type and the seed we offer 
is a very carefully bred strain of our own growing. 
We consider this one of (lie finest varielies for the home garden. This fine 
qualtiy corn maturing as it does so early in the season is a real treat. 
Pkt. 10c; Yi Lb. 20c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c; 6 Lbs. $1.60 transportation paid. Not 
paid: 12 Lbs. $2.30; 50 Lbs. $8.00. 
CANADA GOLD. (New.) Long Ears. Early. (70 days.) The fact that this new 
variety will produce fine large ears as early as most of the smaller kinds has made 
this very popular both for home gardens and market. The ears grow to 8 to 9 inches 
long with 8-12 rows of tender bright yellow kernels of excellent flavor. The plant is 
unusually tall and robust for an extra early kind, and very prolific, often bearing two 
good ears on each stalk. 
This corn which was obtained originally from Canada has been grown and bred 
here in the North on our own farm for a number of years. We can highly recommend 
Canada Gold and urge our customers to try some this year. 
Pkt. 10c; Y<i Lb. 20c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c; 6 Lbs. $1.60 transportation paid. Not 
paid: 12 Lbs. $2.25; 50 Lbs. $7.75. 
GOLDEN EARLY MARKET (Gill’s.) Also called Golden Hummer, Extra Early 
Golden, Extra Early Yellow, Etc. (67 days.) A very fine extra early yellow corn and 
we recommend it to those who want an early yellow variety with large ears. 
The ears are large for early corn, being fully 7 inches long with twelve rows of broad 
butter yellow kernels. The quality is very good but not equal to Extra Early Bantam. 
It matures with us about the same time. 
There are many stocks of this corn being sold under a great variety of names. We 
obtained our stock seed direct from the originators and carefully grow and select it each 
year in order to maintain the purity and earliness. 
Pkt. 10c; Lb. 20c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c; 6 Lbs. $1.60 transportation paid. Not paid: 
12 Lbs. $2.30; 50 Lbs. $8.00. 
We not only sell the best varieties of sweet corn for the North, but grow the seed ourselves, so we know what we are talking about. 
For years we have specialized in growing sweet corn and our Northern 
Grown strains are far superior in earliness and quality to the same 
varieties raised from seed grown where the seasons are longer. We have 
large specially constructed drying houses for curing and drying our seed 
corn, enabling us to offer seed which is of strong vitality and the highest 
quality in every way. 
If pure yellow corn or pure white corn is wanted, do not plant near 
varieties of other colors or field corn. Corn should never be planted in 
a single row. It is much better to plant in three or four rows side by side. 
This is because the pollen does not fertilize the ears well when planted in 
a single row. 
Note: 25 lbs. or more of one variety is sold at the 50 lb. price. 
If your order for seeds including street corn, amounts to $20.00 or more, 
we will pay transportation on sweet corn in quantities listed “not paid.’’

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 Earliest Hybrid. (65 days.) This new corn is the earliest 
Hybrid and one of the earliest varieties grown. Last year it was 
ready with us in 65 days and we have seen it mature in sixty days. The stalks are 4 to 
4J4 feet tall with ears about six inches long and eight rowed. It is a heavy yielder 
maturing a large part of the crop over a short period of time. 
We recommend this corn, especially to those who have been using Golden Gem.

“/ am ordering, as for many years past, seed of your Extra Early Early Bantam. 
I have tried the extra early varieties offered by practically every reputable seedsman in 
the country but none of them has equaled your Extra Early Bantam.” Francis E. 
Webster, Boston, Mass. April 15th, 1938. 
“/ inclose an order for seeds and want to tell you how well pleased I have been with your 
goods. Last year I ordered several varielies of your sweet corn, which l think produced 
the finest flavored corn 1 have ever grown. I gave several messes to some of my friend^, 
who all asked me the name and stated it was the best they had eaten. It may interest you 
to know that I planted 24 bills of your Extra Early Bantam sweet corn, under Hotkaps 
April 17 from which we had nicely developed ears June 15, a record for here. I tested 
some of your muskmelon seed in comparison with those of one of the best known seed 
companies. Your package was marked 92% germination, my seeds came 93\i%, while 
your competitor's were 58%.'' F. W. Wright, Springfield, Mo. March 8, 1938.
