HAarris’ Northem Grown Sweet Cam 
For years we have specialized in growing sweet corn here on our own farms and neigh- 
boring farms in Western New York. Our Northern Grown strains are far superior in 
earliness and quality to strains raised where the seasons are longer. We have large spe- 
cially constructed drying houses for curing and drying our seed corn, enabling us to offer 
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 varieties of other 
colors or field corn. Corn should never be planted in a single row. It is much better to 
plant in a block with three or four rows side by side. This is because the pollen does not 
fertilize the ears well when planted in a single row. 
At the prices here quoted, we pay transportation charges on sweet corn to places in the 
United States. 
If you use sweet corn in larger quantities than listed here, write for special prices. 
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 should not be saved from plantings of hybrid sweet corn as it will not 
come true the next year. 
Hybrid sweet corn varieties are more vigorous and uniform than other kinds and pro- 
duce greater yields. They are ideal for growers who market their corn, but for the home 
gardener the open pollinated varieties are often more satisfactory because they ripen 
over a longer period of time. 
NORTH STAR New Extra Early Hybrid with large ears (67 days). Intro- 
- duced by us only two years ago and already a smash hit with . 
our customers. Ripens very early and produces enormous yields of fine large ears. Northern Cross 
Exceptionally tender and sweet. See photograph and full description on page 3. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Lb. 40c; Lb. 70c; 2 Lbs. $1.25; 6 Lbs. $3.00; 12 Lbs. $5.75. 
Ce oe ] NORTHERN CROSS. Tremendous Yielder of Large Fine Quality Ears. (73 days.) A 
medium early hybrid of great vigor and superior quality. See page 3. 
Pkt. 15c; % Lb. 35c; Lb. 60c; 2 Lbs. $1.10; 6 Lbs. $2.60; 12 Lbs. $4.95. 
SENECA ‘“‘60.’’ The Earliest Hybrid. (65 days.) This is the earliest variety of corn we offer and is 
highly valuable for the very first early crop. 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. 
Pkt. 10c; 144 Lb. 30c; Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 90c; 6 Lbs. $2.60; 12 Lbs. $4.95. 
MARCROSS C6.13. Wilt Resistant Early Hybrid. (68 days.) This is a fine very early hybrid, 
developed by the Connecticut Experiment 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. 
It is completely resistant to wilt (Stewart’s disease) and is therefore especially valuable as an early 
variety in sections where wilt is prevalent. We recommend it highly. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Lb. 35c; Lb. 60c; 2 Lbs. $1.10; 6 Lbs. $2.65; 12 Lbs. $5.00. 
EARLY BANCROSS 39. A Fine Early Hybrid Corn. (74 days.) This variety is especially valuable 
because it produces ears resembling Golden Cross Bantam and is ready fully 10 days earlier. The ears 
are very attractive, being 714 to 8 in. long, very uniform and cylindrical with 10 to 14 rows of bright 
yellow kernels of fine quality. The plant is rugged and prolific, many stalks producing two good ears. 
This is a top cross of Purdue 39 on our Extra Early Bantam. It is moderately resistant to wilt. 
Sow at the same rate as the open pollinated varieties. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Lb. 30; Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 90c; 6 Lbs. $2.40; 12 Lbs. $4.55. 
GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM, Wilt Resistant—High Yielding—Uniform. (84 days.) 
Golden Cross Bantam was one of the first hybrids intro- 
duced and it is now the standard of excellence in sweet corn. Its great uniformity and superlative 
quality have never been surpassed. 
The ears are extremely attractive, about 8 in. long, nearly cylindrical in shape with 12 rows of golden 
yellow kernels which fill the ear beautifully. The kernels have unusual depth and are tender and of 
perfectly delicious flavor. Matures 4 to 7 days later than Golden Bantam, a large part of the crop 
ripening over a short period of time, but the ears hold their fine quality and tenderness longer than any 
kind we know. It is entirely resistant to Stewart’s disease (wilt). 
Our stock is absolutely without equal for even growth, maturity and heavy yield of fine large ears. 
We wish everyone could see it compared with other strains. 
Do not plant more than 6 lbs. per acre. 
Pkt. 15c; % Lb. 35c; Lb. 60c; 2 Lbs. $1.10; 6 Lbs. $2.65; 12 Lbs. $5.00. 
IOANA Excellent Midseason Hybrid. (86 days.) 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 re- 
9 eyes th sistant to wilt (Stewart’s Disease). In season it closely follows Golden Cross Bantam. We recommend 
loana—Midseason Hybrid this new Hybrid corn highly. 
Large ears of superb quality. Pkt. 15c; %4 Lb. 35c; Lb. 60c; 2 Lbs. $1.10; 6 Lbs. $2.65; 12 Lbs. $5.00.
