SWEET CORN —Continued 
Early Bancross 39 (74 days) 
This new crossed corn has proved a winner for growers 
who want a large uniform ear maturing before Golden 
Cross Bantam. They are practically the same size and 
shape and are ready fully ten days earlier. 
The plant is rugged and prolific, with the majority of 
the plants producing two good ears. It is moderately resist¬ 
ant to Stewart’s Disease (wilt), and has produced large 
early crops where other corn has failed entirely. 
Our seed of this new hybrid has been produced under 
our careful supervision by a top cross of Purdue 39 on our 
own selected stock seed of Harris’ Extra Early Bantam. 
This corn should be sown at the same rate as the open 
pollinated varieties. See prices on next page. 
Golden Cross Bantam 
Wilt Resistant—High Yielding 
Uniformly Large Ears (84 days) 
Among sweet corn growers it is no longer a question of 
whether or not to grow Golden Cross Bantam but where to 
get the best stock. The demand for this corn has been so 
great that many inferior stocks are being offered. Growers 
should be particularly careful to get their seed from reliable 
sources. You can depend on our stock. It is outstanding for 
uniformity and high yield. Every pound was grown here in 
Western New York from tested pure line parents and the 
crop was thoroughly detasseled. 
This stock will produce large crop of beautiful ears of 
remarkably uniform length (about 8") and mostly with 
12 rows of bright golden yellow kernels of superior quality. 
They mature about a week later than Golden Bantam, the 
whole crop ripening at nearly the same time. 
Sow not more than six pounds per acre.

Ioana 
Large Eared—Midseason—Wilt Resistant 
Hybrid (88 days) 
This new hybrid corn was developed by Dr. E. S. Haber 
of the Iowa State College. It will be welcomed by sweet 
corn growers who want a good large eared variety to follow 
Golden Cross Bantam. The ears are large, slightly taper¬ 
ing, mostly 8 to 9 inches long with 12 to 14 rows (a few 16) 
of creamy yellow, medium deep kernels, which fill the ear 
well at the tip. 
These large attractive ears are of fine quality being sweet and tender. The plant is tall and 
strong and is resistant to Stewart's Disease (wilt). 
We consider this to be the outstanding new sweet corn, and a worthy addition to our care¬ 
fully chosen list of hybrid corns. Be sure to try some this year. See prices on next page. 
Early Bancross 39 
Golden Early Market (Gill’s) —Grow for Extra Early Large Ears (67 days) 
Has become the most popular early variety because when true seed is used it produces large 
attractive ears very early and thus commands the highest prices. It is important to get true seed. 
We obtained our stock from the originators and have grown and improved it here in the 
North for the past seven years. You can depend on the Harris’ stock of Golden Early Market to 
produce early crops of uniformly large fine ears. See prices on next page. 
Harris’ Extra Early Bantam —The Heaviest Yielding Extra Early Sort (68 days) 
Since we introduced this corn in 1927 it has proved one of the most profitable varieties for the 
grower ever offered. In spite of the growing demand for larger ears in some markets, many growers 
find that because of the earliness, large yield and superior quality, Harris’ Extra Early Bantam 
is still on their “ must grow" list. It is not only an extremely heavy yielder but is one of the earliest 
varieties, maturing ears which can be sold at high prices before the market becomes flooded. 
The ears resemble true Golden Bantam in size and shape and high quality but mature ten 
days earlier. They are up to 7" long with 8 to 10 rows of golden yellow kernels, very uniform in 
size and appearance and of fine quality. See prices on next page. 
“I am a truck gardener and have raised it (Extra Early Bantam ) for several years. It has given us a splendid return each 
year." C. L. Paine, Westmoreland Depot, N. H. May 17, 1939.
