Harris’ Northern Grown Sweet Corn 
For many years we have made a specialty of growing both hybrid and open pollinated sweet 
corn seed here in the North on our own and nearby farms. Combining scientific breeding and care- 
ful selection with the greatest care in growing, drying and cleaning, we produce seed corn of the 
highest standard of vitality and purity. Harris’ Northern grown sweet corn is the best obtainable. 
HYBRID SWEET CORN te 
The large number of hybrid varieties now offered make 
it difficult for the grower to select the best. Each year we 
thoroughly test many of these and we now offer seven 
hybrids which we have chosen as the best, covering 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 next year as 
it will break down. 
Seneca ‘‘60’’—The Earliest Hybrid (65 days) 
This is the earliest variety we offer, and very valuable 
for extra early crop. It ripens with us in 65 days, and we 
have seen 1t mature under ideal conditions in sixty days. 
The stalks are 4 to 4% 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. Not resistant 
to Stewart’s Disease. See prices on page 13. 
North Star 
New Extra Early Hybrid (67 days) 
This new Harris’ Hybrid introduced by us in 1941 is 
already a tremendous success. It ripens only a few days 
after Seneca 60 yet has the same fine large ears as many 
later varieties, and growers everywhere praise it in glowing 
terms. They like its rapid and vigorous growth, the enor- 
mous yield and the large delicious ears. 
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 most attractive. The ears sell at a premium on sight, 
and the wonderful flavor and tenderness brings the custom- 
ers back for more. See prices on page 13. 
Note: While we have a good supply of seed for this 
year, we expect a very heavy demand and urge our cus- ; oS 
tomers to order early and avoid disappointment. North Star 
These large ears are sweet and tender. 
Northern Cross 
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. 
Caution: Northern Cross is not resistant to Stewart’s Disease (wilt). See prices on page 13. 
Marcross C6.13—Early—Uniform Large Ears—Wilt Resistant (68 days) 
Popular early hybrid ripening a day or two later than North Star and noted for its remarkably 
uniform large ears. The stalks are short and sturdy and the ears are 12 rowed, about 7 inches long 
with light golden yellow kernels of very good quality. | Ms 
The strain we offer is a most uniform and attractive stock, and we recommend it highly. 
Completely resistant to wilt (Stewart’s Disease). See prices on page Es
