SWEET CORN—Continued 
Seneca ‘‘60’’—The Earliest Hybrid (65 days) 
This new corn is the earliest Hybrid in production and one of the 
earliest varieties. We know in our trials it has been ready in 65 days 
and we have seen it mature under ideal conditions in sixty days. 
The stalks are 4 to 41 feet tall, with eight rowed, golden yellow 
ears about 6 inches long, and ripening a large part of the crop over a 
short period of time. We recommend this hybrid highly, where an 
extra early variety is wanted. Not resistant to Stewart’s Disease. 
See prices on next page. 
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. 
Ioana 
Large Eared—Midseason—Wilt Resistant (86 days) 
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. 
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 resistant to Stewart's 
Disease (wilt). 
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. 
“T am pleased with the performance of your seeds last year and would ltke to try 
a hand at your latest hybrid corn. 
Joseph E. Fleschner, Stapleton, N. Y. Jan. 21, 1941. 
“I was more than pleased with the results obtained from seeds purchased from 
you last year. It was the worst in many years for growing conditions, but did not stop 
your seeds from giving us better than average results.’ 
Richard Ware, Wilmington, Vt., May 26, 1941. 

Ioana 
A typical ear of this beautiful hybrid. 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 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 in. long with 8 to 10 rows of golden yellow kernels and are very uni- 
form in size and appearance. See prices on next page.
