FIELD CORN 
Harris’ Northern Groun Seed Cor 
It is most important that growers of corn in Northern states use only 
seed grown in short season areas and adapted to Northern conditions. 
Many hybrids that are ideal in the Middle West or Southern sections 
ripen too late to mature a dependable crop in our sections. Therefore, we 
have selected for our customers the following list of hybrids which have 
proved their adaptability to Northern sections, particularly New York 
and New England. These varieties can be depended upon to produce the 
finest crops. They are listed in order of maturity: 
1. Flint- Dent Hybrid (KF) 4. Kingscrost D-4 
2. Kingscrost KE-1 5. 29-3 Double Cross Hybrid 
3. Cornell 34-53 6. Silobred 
For growers who want an open-pollinated corn, we offer the finest 
Northern Grown seed of the old favorite, Davis’ Improved Early Huron. 
FLINT-DENT HYBRID (KF). (New.) The Earliest Corn. De- 
veloped especially to produce ripe 
yellow grain in far northern sections and at the high elevations where 
only the earliest flints will mature. It is a heavy-yielding hybrid, made 
by crossing extra early flint and dent lines. The resulting corn in your 
crop has hard kernels like a flint corn with a small to medium dent in 
the cap. The ears are medium sized with 12 to 14 rows of small deep 
kernels. 
This corn has real vigor and will come up well even in cold weather. 
It is so early that it is bound to mature even in the shortest season. 
The stalks are stiff and hold the ears well up, a great advantage over 


the old Mammoth Yellow Flint which it replaces. 

Flint-Dent Hybrid is the best corn we have yet seen for the very 
short, cold season areas of New York and New England, and for a real

KINGSCROST KE-1, New, Extra Early Hybrid for Grain. 
This outstanding yellow dent hybrid fills 
the need for an extra early corn that will really produce big yields even 
at high elevations and in the short seasons of New York and New 
England. It is perfectly adapted to these areas and is ideal for grain 
wherever the later corns do not always mature. [t ripens for husking 
a week earlier than Cornell 34-53 and it easily out yields the old open- 
pollinated varieties. On our farm for the past two years it has con- 
sistently produced more shelled dry corn per acre than Cornell 34-53. 
The ears are large and well-filled with pure yellow kernels, and the 
stalks have a vigorous sturdy growth. If you have not tried Kingscrost 
KE-1, plant some in comparison with the kind you have been using. 
We are confident that this hybrid will stand up better and produce 
more ripe corn.

KINGSCROST D-4, (New.) For Grain and Ensilage. A thor- 
oughly tested and proven hybrid, entirely 
safe to plant for grain in the medium season areas of the North East, 
and excellent for ensilage in cooler sections. It combines big husky ears 
with a strong rugged stalk and long broad dark green leaves. These 
large well filled ears ripen about five days earlier than Cornell 29-3, and 
tests and crops alike have demonstrated its exceptional ability to 
produce big crops of grain. Planted on our farm both in 1944 and 1945, 
Kingscrost D-4 was the outstanding midseason hybrid in the trials. 
The ears are long and thick with a broad deep kernel and grow well 
out from the stalks for easy husking.

29-3, DOUBLE CROSSED HYBRID. The Standard Hybrid 
Field Corn for New York and New England. This popular 
variety has become one of the most widely-grown hybrids in the 
North East. It was developed by Cornell University and is well 
adapted to growing conditions in New York and New England. It is 
used for ensilage in nearly all sections and for grain in the medium 
season areas of these states. 
The ears are large and even, 8 to 10 inches long and 2 inches in 
diameter. The large broad kernels are of various colors; white, yellow 
and red, so this variety should not be planted for grain where a pure 
yellow corn is desired. 
It has consistently outyielded the old open-pollinated varieties, 
both for grain and for ensilage. Due to the enormous crops and the 
exceptionally high proportion of digestible food in the ensilage it is 
one of the most economical varieties to grow for the silo. Highly 
recommended by the State College of Agriculture, and grown with 
satisfaction by thousands of farmers.

Replaces the old early flints. 
CORNELL 34-53. Early Yellow Hybrid for Grain or En- 
silage. This variety, developed at Cornell 
University, is a very heavy-yielding yellow corn maturing earlier 
than Cornell No. 11 or 29-3. It has rapidly become one of the leading 
hybrids for New York State and other Northern sections, and is excel- 
lent for ensilage in the shorter season areas. The grain will ripen fully 
in 110 to 115 days. 
The ears are medium sized (7 to 9 inches long), 14-18 rowed and very 
uniform. They are not quite as large as Cornell 11, but there are many 
more bushels per acre so the total yield of grain is greater. The color is 
pure deep yellow, and the kernels are deep with a small cob.
