Northern Cross Sweet Corn 
New Harris Hybrid, Tremendous Yielder, Large Ears 
A hybrid of great vigor; the strong sturdy plants seem to grow by leaps and bounds 
and produce tremendous crops of fine large ears. There are usually two and often 
three good ears to a plant. Northern Cross is a medium early yariety, maturing ears 
in’ about seventy-three days. 
This is a sweet corn of the highest quality. The ears resemble the well kuown 
Whipple’s Yellow in shape. They are large, nearly eight inches long with twelve to 
fourteen rows of bright yellow kernels which are delicate, succulent and tender. 
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 in the past years have been greatly 
impressed by its many sterling qualities. We recommend this corn highly. 
Note: This variety is not resistant to wilt (Stewart’s Disease).

loana 
New Midseason Hybrid Sweet Corn 
An All-America Winner for 1940 
We have been very reluctant to add to our list of Hybrid corns, until we found this 
variety. However, we have been greatly impressed by loana, because it fills the bill 
for a medium late corn of fine quality to follow Golden Cross Bantam. 
The plant is strong and robust, producing an abundance of large ears (8 in. long) 
with 12-14 rows of sweet, tender, bright yellow kernels. It is one of the heaviest 
yielding varieties we know and is resistant to wilt (Stewart’s Disease). In season it 
nicely follows Golden Cross Bantam, being ready in about 88 days. We recom¬ 
mend this new kind highly. Be sure to try some.

The Best Round Dwarf Green Kind 
Tendergreen Beans 
Superb in quality 
All who have seen this new endive have been impressed not only by its novel appearance, but by its 
downright fine qualities. It is a strong robust plant with broad leaves, curled at the edge and pro¬ 
ducing fine deep hearts. In quality it is tender and makes the most appetizing and attractive salads. 
By all means have a row in your garden. It is very easy to grow. See directions on page 23.

Market King 
Styles in melons change but the demand for fine flavor never does, so 
when we found this medium size melon of such uniformly superior quality, 
we knew we had something for which there would be a great demand. The 
reaction of growers who had this variety last year more than met our 
expectations. Everyone who had Market King was most enthusiastic. 
The melons are medium size, oval in shape, and heavily netted. The flesh 
is thick, of even texture and of uniformly fine quality. We have cut hun¬ 
dreds of melons without finding a poor one, and many of our customers 
pronounce them the best melons they have ever tasted. 
The vines are extremely prolific, vigorous and healthy. The fruit 
ripens about a week later than Bender’s Surprise. We can strongly recom¬ 
mend this new variety.

Northern Cross If you want really delicious, tender, fine flavored, early snap beans, be sure to 
Noted for large uniform ears plant Tendergreen. There is no dwarf bean that has as fine quality. Many of our 
customers will plant no other green variety. 
“The Northern Cross sweet corn which The pods are long, round as a pencil, very meaty and of an attractive light

same corn this year as I like it as well roadside stands. The handsome appearance brings customers and the quality 
as any sweet corn I've ever had.” Geo. keeps them coming back for more.
