SWEET CORN 
One pound will plant about 400 hills; a packet 40 hills; 12 lbs. will plant an acre. 
Harris’ Northerm Groun Sweet Com 
We not only sell the best varieties of sweet corn for the North, but grow seed ourselves, so you can depend on our descriplions for accuracy. 
For years we have specialized in growing sweet corn here on our own grown where the seasons are longer. We have large specially constructed 
farms and neighboring farms and our Northern Grown strains are far drying houses for curing and drying our seed corn, enabling us to offer seed 
superior in earliness and quality to the same varieties raised from seed of strong vitality and the highest quality in every way. 
If pure yellow corn or pure white corn is wanted, do not plant near vari- 
eties of other colors or field corn. Corn should never be planted in a single 
row. It is much better to plant in three or four rows side by side. This is 
because the pollen does not fertilize the ears well when planted in a single 
row. 
Note: 25 Ibs. or more of one variety is sold at the 50 Ib. price. /f your 
order for seeds including sweet corn, amounts to $20.00 or more, we will pay trans- 
portation on sweel corn in quantities listed “‘not paid.” See inside front cover. 
Hybrid Sweet Corn 
We observe many hybrids each year and a great many show inferior parentage 
and lack of quality. Good hybrids can only be grown from proven inbreds with 
constant careful detasseling of the seed parent in the field. 
Of the hundreds of hybrid varieties available we have selected seven to offer 
this year. In order of ripening they are Seneca “60,” North Star, Marcross 
C6.13, Northern Cross, Early Bancross 39, Golden Cross Bantam and Ioana. No 
doubt in the future we will have others, but we are firmly committed to the policy 
of not offering any variety to our customers until it has proved itself worthy. 
Caution: Seed from the 1942 planting of Hybrid Sweet Corn should not be 
saved as they will break down. In hybrid corn the crosses must be made each 
year. 
While hybrids are ideally suited for growers who market their corn, the open 
pollinated varieties listed on the next two pages, usually bear over a longer period 
and are often more satisfactory for the home garden. 
NORTH ST AR New Extra Early Hybrid with large ears (67 days). Intro- 
- duced by us last year, and a great success wherever grown. See 
page 3 for photograph and full description.

SENECA “‘60.’’ The Earliest Hybrid. (65 days.) This new corn is the earliest Hybrid 
and one of the earliest varieties grown. It will ordinarily be ready in 65 days and we 
have seen it mature in sixty days. The ears are eight rowed, about 6 in. long, on stalks 
4 to 4% ft. tall. It is a heavy yielder maturing a large part of the crop over a short 
period of time. 
We highly recommend this variety for the very first early corn for both home and 
market gardens.

EARLY BA NCROSS 39 A Fine Early Crossed Corn. (74 days.) This new 
~ hybrid is ready fully 10 days earlier than Golden 
Cross Bantam and 2 or 3 days earlier than Golden Bantam. Our strain is the product 
of carefully top crossing Purdue 39 on our own selected seed of Harris’ Extra Early 
., Bantam. It is moderately resistant to Stewart’s Disease and good results have been

MARCROSS C6.13 — Wilt Resistant — Early Hybrid. (68 days.) 
This is a fine very early hybrid, developed by the Connecticut Experi- Po" 
ment Station a few years ago and already in wide demand. The stalks : 
are short and sturdy, and produce large ears which are very uniform 
in shape and size. The ears are 7 in. long, mostly 12 rowed with light 
golden yellow kernels of very good quality. 
This variety is completely resistant to wilt (Stewart’s disease) and 
is therefore especially valuable as a first early variety in sections where 
wilt is prevalent. We recommend it highly.

GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. Wilt Resistant—High Yielding— 
Uniform. (84 days.) For even growth, maturity and heavy yield of 
fine large ears this stock is absolutely without equal. We wish everyone 
could see it compared with other strains. 
The ears have mostly 12 rows of golden yellow kernels, are uniform 
in length (about 8 in.) and of extremely fine quality. Matures 4 to 7 
days later than Golden Bantam, a large part of the crop ripening over a 
short period of time. This heavy yielding hybrid is resistant to Stew- 
art’s disease (wilt) and is recommended for places where Stewart's 
disease makes it impossible to grow ordinary varieties of sweet corn.
