Harris’ Northern Grown Sweet Corn 
For years we have specialized in growing sweet corn here on our own 
farms and neighboring 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 specially 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 in a single row the ears are often not properly 
pollinated and do not produce a full set of kernels. 
At the prices here quoted, we pay transportation charges on 
sweet cern to places in the United States. 
If you use sweet corn in larger quantities than listed here, write for 
special prices. 
Hybrid ‘Sweet Com 
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, PEF 7

Bantam and Joana. No doubt in the future we will have others, but we 
are firmly committed to the policy of not offering any variety to our Tremendous Yielder of Large 
customers until it has proved itself worthy. 132 NORTHERN CROSS. Fine Quality Ears. (73 Bey A

130 NORTH STAR, New Extra Early Hybrid with large ears (67 days). Introduced by us 
three years ago and has become a great favorite with our customers. 
Ripens very early and produces enormous yields of fine large ears. Exceptionally tender and sweet.

125 MARCROSS C6. 13. Wilt Resistant Early Hybrid. (68 days.) This is a fine very early hybrid for 
both home and market garden; it was introduced several years ago by the Connecticut Agriculture 
Experiment Station and has become one of the most widely grown early varieties. It is well adapted 
to all sections of the East and produces fine large ears even under adverse conditions. The stalks are 
short but very sturdy, and produce large ears which are exceptionally 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.

108 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 74% 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.

115 GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. Wilt Resistant—Hight Yielding—Uniform. (84 
days.) Golden Cross Bantam was one of the first 
hybrids introduced 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 ideally suited for home canning or freezing and is by far the most widely grown 
variety for commercial processing. 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.

123 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 resistant to wilt (Stewart’s Disease). In season it closely follows Golden Cross Bantam. 
We recommend this new Hybrid corn highly.
