DAVIS’ IMPROVED EARLY HURON. pon'corn: 
Dent Corn. 
This is the earliest dent corn that we know and is a grand variety 
for New York and New England. It is earlier than most strains of 
Flint or “State Corn” and always gets ripe here if planted reasonably 
early. The ears of medium size, mostly 16-rowed, with deep yellow 
kernels and small red cob. The stalks are not coarse and often 7 feet 
tall. The yield of grain is greater than the flint or “‘State’’ varieties. 
This is a very fine corn for the silo in the most northern parts of 
the country as thoroughly matured corn can be produced before 
danger from frost, even in short seasons. 
We offer Northern Grown seed grown here in Monroe County.

Treated Corn Grows Better! 
We find that seed corn even of high vitality 
which has been treated with Semesan Jr. has twice 
the chance of growing and making a good stand 
for under unfavorable weather conditions, that un-

Harris’ Northern Grown Seed Com 
All the seed corn we offer is grown here in Western New York from 
stocks selected for their earliness and high yield. It is of the greatest 
importance to growers in the northern parts of the country to use seed 
raised in the North. This insures early maturity as no late corn will 
get ripe in this locality. 
Our seed corn is carefully grown, fully matured and cured under the 
most approved methods to insure high germination. 
99-3 DOUBLE CROSSED HYBRID. The Best Hybrid Field 
=“ =" Corn for New York and New England. Since its introduction 
a few years ago this corn has proved to be outstanding as an ensilage 
and grain corn where a pure yellow corn is not required. Over a five 
year period it produced practically the same amount of green weight 
as Sweepstakes, but exceeded that variety in dry weight by 11% and 
in grain about 55%. 
It is the result of years of work by the department of Plant Breeding 
at Cornell University. It is made by crossing pure lines of four separate 
varieties of corn: Luce’s Favorite, Onondaga White Dent, Cornell 
No. 11 and Bloody Butcher. These pure strains are paired and crossed 
by Cornell University. We plant the resulting hybrid seed from each 
pair and make a second cross. This seed is known as double cross 
corn. In this manner the hybrid vigor is carried to the highest point 
with consequent increased yield of forage and grain. 
The ears are good size, even and multicolored, showing to varying 
degrees all the colors found in the parent varieties. Do not grow this 
corn if you desire a pure yellow grain. 
Due to the enormous crops and high proportion of digestible food in 
the ensilage it is the most economical ensilage corn to grow. 
In season it matures about with Cornell No. 11 and in nearly all of 
New York State and New England can also be successfully used for 
a grain corn. Like all hybrid corn it should not be saved for seed.

paid: Pk. (14 Lbs.) $1.65; Bu. (56 Lbs.) $5.50; Bag of 2 Bu. $10.75. 
CORNELL 34.53. New Early Yellow Double Cross Hybrid. 
This new variety developed at Cornell Uni- 
versity is a heavy-yielding yellow corn maturing earlier than Cornell 
No. 11. It will produce 10 to 15% more grain than Cornell No. 11 and 
the total dry weight for ensilage is at least as great. The ears are 
medium to small in size, 12-14 rows and very uniform. The color is 
deep yellow. Cornell 34-53 bears tremendous crops of ears, making it 
an excellent grain corn. Adapted for New York State and New England. 
2 Lbs. 75c; transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (14 Lbs.) $2.00; Bu. 
(56 Lbs.) $6.00; Bag of 2 Bu. $11.80. 
CORNELL No. 11. In Western and Northern New York, 
Massachusetts and further north, Cornell 
No. 11 matures early enough for ensilage and yields immense crops of 
very rich fodder with an abundance of grain. 
It has proved to be one of the heaviest yielding varieties that is early 
enough to mature in the northern states. It is quite similar to Davis’ 
Early Huron, but is not quite so early and the ears and stalks are both 
somewhat larger. The ears are of good length, 9 to 10 inches long, have 
14 to 18 rows of dented kernels and small cobs. The kernels are bright 
yellow, large, and very “‘deep” for so early a variety. The cob is red. 
The stalks often grow 8 feet tall. 
Our seed is all grown here in Monroe County under our close super- 
vision. It is a very superior stock. 
2 Lbs. 40c; transportation paid. Not paid: Pk. (14 Lbs.) $1.10; Bu. 
(56 Lbs.) $3.25; Bag of 2 Bu. $6.10.
