New Midseason Hybrid Sweet Corn 
An All America Winner for 1940 
We have been greatly impressed by Ioana, because it fills the bill for a main crop corn of fine quality to 
follow Golden Cross Bantam. 
The plant is strong and robust, producing 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 has proved highly resistant to wilt 
(Stewart’s Disease). In season it closely follows Golden Cross Bantam. We recommend this new Hybrid 
corn highly. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Lb. 25c; Lb. 45c; 2 Lbs. 80c; 6 Lbs. $2.35 transportation paid. Not paid: 12 Lbs. $3.85; 
50 Lbs. $14.50. 
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 producing tremen- 
dous crops of fine large ears. There are usually two and often three good ears to a plant. Northern Cross is 
a medium early variety, maturing ears in about seventy-three days. 
This is a sweet corn of the highest quality. The ears resemble the well known 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 well pleased by its many sterling qualities. We 
recommend this corn highly. See photo on page 19. 
Note: This variety is not resistant to wilt (Stewart’s Disease). 
Pkt. 10c; %4 Lb. 30c; Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 90c; 6 Lbs. $2.45 transportation paid. Not paid: 12 Lbs. $4.10.

Long Season—"A Beet of Quality” 
Also called ‘‘Winter Keeper”’ or ‘‘New Century.”’ 
This beet has long been a favorite among our customers, and 

each year makes a host of new friends. Long Season Beets 
If you want a beet that will remain tender and sweet all summer and 
fall and keep all winter, try the “Long Season.” It is the best quality table Harris’ Double Yield 
beet. It makes no difference whether the beets are young or old, small or 4 : 
large, they are always tender. The beets are a very deep red color without The Most Prolific Pickle 
light colored rings and have large green tops. 
Do not depend on this beet for early use as it grows slowly but when the 
early-sown beets get tough and poor, the Long Season will be found to be 
of the finest quality and even though they are very large, just as tender as 
the young early beets. They retain their fine quality when stored in a 
cold place for winter use. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 14 Lb. 50c; Lb. $1.55. 
This cucumber is noted for ability to produce enormous quantities of 
pickles of the most desirable shape and color, often producing twice as 
many as any other variety. Many of our customers tell us it is the best 
pickle grown. The fruit is of medium length, very straight with blunt ends 
and of deep green color, perfect for either small pickles or “‘dills.” 
Double Yield is also the earliest cucumber with which we are 
acquainted. It can be planted late and also because of its uniform fine 
shape many gardeners find it desirable to plant some for slicing cucumbers 
before other kinds have commenced to bear. After a picking or two of 
cucumbers, the vines will continue to bear and produce many pickles of 
the finest type. Black Spine. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 144 Lb. 55c; Lb. $1.40. 
“Long Season beets are the best I ever raised; and now in March are as tender as last 
summer.” M.S. Vaughan, Leverett, Mass. March 13, 1940. 
“We could not get along without your Long Season beet and Double Yield cucumber.” 
Mrs. Herbert E. Long, Brookville, Penn. April 18, 1940. 
Imperial 44 Lettuce 
"The Best Heading Iceberg for the East’’ 
Discovered in a search for an Iceberg lettuce to grow on muck, itis the only variety which 
can be grown on a wide variety of soils, both upland and muck and produce crops that can 
compete successfully with western grown “Iceberg.” It makes heads better than any other 
strain and shows marked resistance to tip burn. We have seen trial rows cut 100% good 
heads in July and commercial crops cutting over 90%. 
This lettuce is equally good on upland and muck, although the muck grown plants are 
usually a little larger. The heads are true “Iceberg” type, solid and of fine quality. 
Note: The seed of true Imperial 44 is white.
