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 
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. 
130 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 every- 
where 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 customers 
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 customers to order 
early and avoid disappointment. 
125 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 f 
golden yellow kernels of very good quality. Northern Cross 
The strain we offer is a most uniform 
and attractive stock, and we recommend 






it highly. “T have had fine success with your Northern Cross 
Completely resistant to wilt (Stew- and North Star Sweet Corn.” 
art’s Disease). See prices on page 13. Elbert Walker, Labette, Kansas. Mar. 15, 1943. 
132 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 sometimes 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. 
“Your sweet corn is the best yielder of any anywhere and every one goes wild over the fine ears, 
especially Northern Cross.” Harold Shaffer, Boswell, Penn. Mar. 15, 1943.
