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 (67 days) 
This new Harris’ hybrid introduced by us in 
1941 has become one of the most widely grown 
early varieties in the East. 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 enormous yield 
and the large delicious ears. 
The kernels are deep, creamy gold and excep- 
tionally tender and sweet. Ears are fully 7 inches 
long, mostly 12 rowed, and well protected by a 
fine large husk which makes them most attract- 
ive. The ears sell at a premium on sight, and the 
wonderful flavor and tenderness brings the 
customers back for more. 
North Star is by far the finest corn for first 
early crop. The hardy vigorous seed will come 
up even in cold weather when other varieties 
fail to make a stand, and it ripens early, bring- 
ing the highest prices. The yields are also much 
greater than other early kinds and many grow- 
ers use North Star even for later plantings. This 
variety is resistant to wilt and is well adapted 
all over the East. See prices on page 13.

these large ears from his early crop. 
125 Marcross C6.13 
CARMELCROSS, IMPROVED 

Early—Uniform Large Ears, Wilt Resistant (68 days) 
Popular early hybrid ripening aday 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 isa 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 are well pleased with this new hybrid. It 
ripens just after Marcross, or about the same time as 
Northern Cross, and has larger ears than either. 
The plants are husky and vigorous, about 51% feet 
tall and are highly resistant to bacterial wilt. The big 
well-filled ears have 12 to 16 rows of bright yellow kernels 
and are protected by a tight heavy husk. The quality 
is excellent. 
Our strain is the Improved Carmelcross, having bigger 
ears than the original variety, and is the best type 
for market gardeners. See prices on page 13. 
“‘T tried the North Star for the first time last year, and it 
was the best corn I ever raised.”
