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. 
130 North Star 
Extra Early—Large Ears—Fine Quality 
See photo on front cover 
This new Harris’ Hybrid introduced by us in 1941 has already become one of the most widely 
grown early varieties. 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 enormous 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. 
North Star is resistant to wilt. See prices on page 13. 
Note: In the past we have had great difficulty 
growing enough North Star to meet the tremendous 
demand. This year our crops are better but we do ad- 
vise ordering early as the supply is limited. 
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 golden yellow 
kernels of very good quality. 
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 13. 


107 Carmelcross, Improved (New) 
Fine for Second Early Crop (72 days) 
Growers who want a large eared medium early corn 
of high quality will be well pleased with this new hybrid. 
It ripens just after Marcross, coming on at about the 
same time as Northern Cross, and has larger ears 
than either. 
The plants are husky and vigorous, about 5 feet 
tall and are highly resistant to bacterial wilt. The big 
well-filled ears have 12 to 16 rows of bright yellow ker- 
nels and are well protected by a tight heavy husk. The 
quality is excellent. 
Our strain is the Improved Carmelcross, having 
longer and larger ears than the original variety, and is Carmelcross 
the best type for market gardeners. See prices on page 13. Large eared, high quality hybrid. 
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.
