Harris' Northern Crown Seed Corn 
All the Seed Corn we offer here is grown here in Western New York 
from stocks selected for their earliness and high yield. It is of the great¬ 
est importance to growers in the northern parts of the country to use 
seed raised in the north. This insures early maturity because no late corn

DAVIS IMPROVED EARLY HURON. The 
- e s t Dent 
Corn Grown. This is the earliest dent corn that we know and is a 
grand variety for New York and New England. It is earlier than most 
strains of Flint or “State Corn” and always gets ripe here if planted 
reasonably early. The ears are of medium size, mostly 16-rowed, with 
deep yellow kernels and small red cob. The stalks are not coarse and 
grow 7 feet tall. The yield of grain is greater than the flint or “State” 
varieties. 
This is a very fine corn for the silo in the most northern parts of the 
country as thoroughly matured corn can be produced before danger 
from frost, even in short seasons. 
We offer Northern Grown seed from our own carefully selected 
stock seed.

HALL’S GOLD NUGGET— The Largest Flint Corn. The ears 
grow very large, often 12 to 13 inches long and over 6 inches around. 
The kernels are immense, being twice as large as most other varieties. 
The stalks grow 8 to 9 feet high, are well covered with leaves and often 
produce two good big ears. 
It is suitable for almost any section of the country except the 
most northern parts of New York and New England and a few places of 
high elevation. 
For the Silo. Gold Nugget is an excellent kind for ensilage in the 
northern parts of the country. The fodder is of excellent quality and 
the tonnage large. The proportion of grain to stalk is high.

EUREKA. We do not offer this late variety any longer. Growers of ensi¬ 
lage have found that varieties which produce ears as well as stalks 
make more satisfactory ensilage. 
LEAMING. We h ave discontinued offering this variety and recommend 
29-3 Hybrid or Sweepstakes in its place.

Our seed corn is carefully grown, fully matured and cured under the 
most approved methods to insure high germination. 
29-3 Double Crossed Corn 
The Best Hybrid Field Corn for New York and New England 
Since its introduction a few years ago this corn has been thoroughly 
tried and has been found to be outstanding as an ensilage and grain corn 
where a pure yellow corn is not required. Over a five year period it produced 
practically the same amount of green weight as Sweepstakes, but ex¬ 
ceeded that variety in dry weight by 11% and in grain about 55%. 
It is the result of years of work by the department of Plant Breeding at 
Cornell University. It is made by crossing pure lines of four separate 
varieties of corn: Luce’s Favorite, Onondaga White Dent, Cornell No. II 
and Bloody Burcher. These pure strains are paired and crossed by Cornell 
University. We plant I he resulting hybrid seed from each pair and make a 
second cross. This seed is known as double crossed corn. In this man¬ 
ner the hybrid vigor is carried to the highest point with consequent in¬ 
creased yield of forage and grain. 
The ears are good size, even and multicolored, showing to varying 
degrees all the colors found in the parent varieties. 
Due to the enormous crops and high proportion of digestible food in the 
ensilage it is the most economical ensilage corn to grow. 
In season it matures about with Cornell No. 11 and in nearly all of 
New York State and New England can also be successfully used for a 
grain corn. Like all hybrid corn it should not be saved for seed.

CORNELL NO 11 N. Y. State Certified. In Western and 
-1- - Northern New York, Massachusetts and 
further north, Cornell No. 11 matures early enough for ensilage and 
yields immense crops of very rich fodder with an abundance of grain. 
11 has proved to be one of the heaviest yielding varieties that is early 
enough to mature in the northern states. It is quite similar to Davis’ 
Early Huron, but is not quite so early and the ears and stalks are both 
somewhat larger. The ears are of good length, 9 to 10 inches long, have 
14 to 18 rojvs of dented kernels and small cobs. The kernels are bright 
yellow, large, and very “deep” for so early a variety. The cob is red. 
The stalks often grow 8 feet tall. 
Our seed is all grown here in Monroe County under our close super¬ 
vision. It is a very superior stock.

Treated Corn Grows Better! 
We find that seed corn even of high vitality 
which has been treated with Semesan Jr. has 
twice the chance of growing and making a good 
stand under unfavorable weather conditions, 
that, untreated seed has. The cost is so small 
and the method so easy that no grower can afford 
not to take advantage of this easy Crop Insur¬
