Harris’ Northern Grown 
Sweet Corn 
For many years we have made a specialty 
of growing both open pollinated and hybrid 
sweet corn seed here in the North on our own 
and nearby farms. We are large producers of 
the finest strains of the best market varieties. 
Combining scientific breeding and careful 
selection with the greatest care in growing, 
drying and cleaning, we produce seed corn of 
the highest standard of vitality and purity. 
Hybrid Sweet Corn 
The large number of Hybrids offered 
make it difficult for the grower to select the 
best. We have chosen the best of these hybrids 
and offer to our customers seven varieties 
which cover the season from extra early to 
late or main crop. Our hybrid corn is grown 
from proven pure line parents and great care 
is taken in detasseling the seed parent. 
Hybrid corn cannot be saved for seed the “ 2 
next year as it will break down. Northern Cross 
Northern Cross Note the large uniform ears. 
An Early and Tremendous Yielding Hybrid (73 days) 
Since its introduction by us in 1938 this hybrid has proved to be a money maker for the grower. 
It is a variety of great vigor with fine strong sturdy plants which will produce great crops of large 
even ears. There are usually two and often three good ears to a 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 eight inches long with 12-14 rows of bright 
yellow kernels. They are very attractive in appearance and of exceptionally high quality. 
Northern Cross is ready a few days before Whipple’s Yellow and from 10 to 12 days earlier 
than Golden Cross Bantam. This variety is a product of our own breeding here in the North, being 
a cross between two of our own inbreds and can be produced only by us. See prices on page 13. 
Caution: Northern Cross is not resistant to Stewart’s Disease (wilt). 
North Star 
New Extra Early Hybrid (67 days) 
Ripening only a few days after Seneca 60, yet having the same large ears as many later varie- 
ties, North Star was a great success wherever grown this year. Growers are delighted with its rapid 
and vigorous growth and report that it usually yields two marketable ears per stalk. 
The kernels are deep, creamy gold and exceptionally tender and sweet. Ears are fully 7 inches 
long, mostly 12 rowed, and well protected by a fine large husk which makes them very attractive. 
The ears sell at a premium on sight, and the wonderful flavor and tenderness brings the cus- 
tomers back for more. See prices on page 13. 
Note: Our seed supply of this variety is very limited again this year, and we regret we cannot 
sell more than 12 lbs. to a customer. First come first served, so be sure to order early.

When Different Varieties Mature 
We give after the names of the different varieties listed in this catalogue the approximate 
number of days in which the corn matured in our trials that were planted about the middle 
of May. As the time required varies greatly according to the weather, time of planting, 
and fertility of the soil the figures should be regarded as relative rather than actual.
