Early Bancross 39 (74 days) 
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 resistant 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 care- 
ful 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. 
Northern Cross 
An Early and Tremendous Yielding Hybrid (73 days) 
This is a hybrid of great vigor, producing fine stands of strong 
sturdy plants which will produce great crops of large even ears. 
There are usually two and often three good ears toa plant. It is truly 
a tremendous yielder of fine large ears and is well suited to fill the 
gap between the extra early and later kinds. 
These large ears are very uniform in size, usually fully eight 
inches long with 12-14 rows of bright yellow kernels and are very 
attractive in appearance and of exceptionally high quality. 
They mature a few days before Whipple’s Yellow and from 10 
to 12 days earlier than Golden Cross Bantam. 
Northern Cross is a product of our own breeding here in the 
North, being a cross between two of our own pure line inbreds and 
can be produced only by us. See prices on next page.

Ioana 
Large Eared—Midseason—Wilt Resistant Hybrid (86 days) 
The ears are large, slightly tapering, 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 reststant to Stewart's 
Disease (wilt). 
Developed by Dr. E. S. Haber of Iowa State College, this out- 
standing new hybrid has been welcomed by sweet corn growers as 
an exceptionally fine large eared variety for main crop. 
In some sections where large crops of sweet corn are grown for 
market, some of our customers prefer it even to Golden Cross Bantam. 
Be sure to grow some this year. See prices on next page. 
Ioana Golden Cross Bantam 
Wilt Resistant—High Yielding—Uniformly Large Ears (84 days) 
The demand for this corn has been so great that many inferior stocks are now 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 seed rows were thoroughly detasseled. 
This stock will produce large crops of beautiful ears of remarkably uniform length (about 
8 in.) and mostly with 12 rows of bright golden yellow kernels. They mature about a week later 
than the old fashioned Golden Bantam with the whole crop ripening at nearly the same time. 
For best results sow not more than six pounds per acre.

Harris’ Extra Early Bantam—Heavy Yielding Extra Early Sort (68 days) 
Introduced by us in 1927; this 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 isnot 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 in. 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.
