SWEET CORN 
One pound will plant about 400 hills; a packet 40 hills; 12 lbs. will plant an acre. 
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 is every way. 
Note: 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 pro- 
duce a full set of kernels. 
At the prices here quoted, we pay transportation charges on 
sweet corn to places in the United States. 
If you use sweet corn in larger quantities than listed here, write for 
special prices. 
Hybrid Sweet Corm 
Hybrid sweet corn varieties are more vigorous and uniform than other 
kinds and produce greater yields. They are ideal for growers who market 
their corn, because of their uniformity and big yields and because they 
tend to come on all at one time. For the home garden, some people prefer 
the open pollinated varieties which ripen over a longer period. However, a 
continuous supply of fine corn may be obtained by using several different 

hybrids planted at one time. See also our Sweet Corn Collections. 
Seed should not be saved from plantings of hybrid sweet corn as it 
will not come true the next year.

ae 125 MARCROSS C6. 13. Wilt Resistant Early Hybrid. (68 days.) One of the most widely grown early 





varieties in the East and famous for its large uniform ears. It ripens a day or two later than North Star 
and produces well even under adverse conditions. The ears are remarkable for their uniform cylindrical 
shape and even size. They are about 7 inches long and nearly all 12 rowed with light golden yellow 
kernels of very good quality. The stalks are short but sturdy and vigorous. 
It is completely resistant to wilt (Stewart’s disease) and is therefore especially valuable as a large 
eared, early variety in sections where wilt is prevalent. We recommend it highly.

132 NORTHERN CROSS. Tremendous Yielder of Large Fine Quality Ears. (73 days.) 
This vigorous hybrid follows North Star in season and is another 
Harris introduction of extraordinary merit. From the time the seed comes up these plants make a rapid 
husky growth that puts it way ahead of other kinds in this season. The ears are large, the quality is ex- 
cellent, and everyone is amazed at the tremendous amount of fine corn it produces. (For a complete 
description, see page 3.)

107 CARMELCROSS. Improved. (New.) (72 days.) Both market and home gardeners are 
highly enthusiastic over this fine medium early hybrid, because of its 
large uniform ears and excellent quality. It produces bigger ears than either Marcross or Northern 
Cross, coming on about in season with the latter, and is entirely resistant to wilt. 
The sturdy plants grow about 51% feet tall and the big well filled ears have 12 to 16 rows of deep, 
bright yellow kernels. They are all just alike, very attractive in appearance and delicious to eat, being 
sweet and tender with remarkably fine flavor. Our strain is the Improved Carmelcross having larger 
and longer ears than the original type and we recommend it highly.

124 LINCOLN. (New). Large Ears, Drought Resistant. (81 days.) A sturdy, vigorous hybrid de- 
veloped by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station and already very popular especially with 
market growers. It comes on just ahead of Golden Cross Bantam and is valuable to fill the gap between 
that variety and the early kinds. The stalks are very tall, stiff and erect and withstand adverse con- 
ditions such as hot dry weather much better than most kinds. For this reason it is widely grown for 
main crop in many sections. 
The ears are straight, cylindrical, 7 to 8 inches long and are closely set with 12 to 16 rows of deep 
narrow kernels. The quality is very good and the ears are well protected by a good husk. Highly 
recommended for its dependable production of large uniform ears.
