SWEET CORN 
One pound will plant about 400 hills; a packet 40 hills; 8 to 12 Ibs. will plant an acre. 
For many years, the breeding work here on our farms has been devoted 
to producing sweet corn varieties that are adapted to our short northern 
seasons. We feel that the greater vigor, earliness and yield of the Harris’ 
introductions on these pages prove for themselves the value of our work. 
Northern-grown seed is best for vitality and quality, and the varieties 
we offer here are the finest you can buy. 
Note: Corn should never be planted in a single row. It is much better 

Carmelcross, Improved 
107 CARMELCROSS. !mproved. (New.) (72 days.) Both mar- 
ket and home gardeners are highly enthu- 
siastic 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 514 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.

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 
excellent, and everyone is amazed at the tremendous amount of fine 
corn it produces. (For a complete description, see page 3.)

124 LINCOLN. Large Ears, Drought Resistant. (81 days.) A sturdy, 
vigorous hybrid which is popular with market growers. [It comes on 
just ahead of Golden Cross Bantam and is valuable to fill the gap be- 
tween that variety and the early kinds. The stalks are very tall, stiff 
and erect and withstand adverse conditions, 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. They are well protected 
by a good husk, and our strain produces very uniform large ears.

‘‘Had your Northern Cross and Golden Cross Bantam corn last year and 
it was really wonderful. The neighbors ran me ragged for some.”

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.

HYBRID SWEET CORN 
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 pol- 
linated 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. 
136 SENECA ‘“‘60.”’ The Earliest Hybrid. (65 days.) The earliest variety of corn we offer and highly 
valuable for the very first early crop. It will ordinarily be ready in 65 days and we have seen it mature 
under ideal conditions in less than 60 days. It is a heavy yielder, very uniform and ripens a large part 
of the crop at one time. The ears are eight rowed, about 6 inches long, on stalks 4 to 41% feet tall. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Lb. 45c; 1 Lb. 80; 2 Lbs. $1.50; 6 Lbs. $3.30; 12 Lbs. $6.35. 
130 NORTH STAR.New Extra Early Hybrid with Large Ears. (67 days.) Developed and 
sold exclusively by us, North Star has rapidly become famous all over the 
East for its big early yields of fine corn. Both for market and home gardens it is the best early variety 
to grow. It produces tremendous crops of fine, large ears and is exceptionally tender, sweet and de- 
licious to eat. See also photo and full description on page 3.

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 remark- 
able 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.
