SWEET CORN 
One pound will plant about 400 hills; a packet 40 hills; 8 to 12 Ibs. will plant an acre. 
Sweet Corn for short seasons and northern areas has been a Harris specially for many 
years. Here on our farms we are constantly breeding new hybrids and improving the older 
ones. We feel that the greater vigor, earliness and quality of our Northern-grown strains 
prove for themselves the value of our work. For corn adapted to your soil and climate, 
try the fine varieties listed below. 
Note: Plant three or four rows of corn together in a block to get the best ears. Ina single 
row pollination is often not complete and the ears are not entirely filled with kernels. 
At the prices here quoted, we pay transportation charges on sweet corn to 
places in the United States. 
Please write for special prices if you use larger quantities than listed. 
HYBRID SWEET CORN 
Practically everyone now plants hybrid sweet corn, for market, canning and home use. 
The yields are larger than the older kinds, the plants more vigorous and the ears more uni- 
form, and the quality is often better too. They ripen more nearly at one time bul to get a 
\ g 
succession growers use several hybrids maturing at different dates and plant them all 
together. Our sweet corn collections are ideal for this purpose. (See next page.) 
Nole: Do not save seed from your hybrid crops as it will not come true the next year.

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 delicious to eat. See also photo and full description 
on Inside Front Cover.

ear, and is remarkable for its uniform cylindrical shape and even size. Ears about 7 inches 
long, nearly all 12 rowed with light golden yellow kernels of good quality. The stalks are short 
but sturdy and are resistant to will (Stewart's disease). Valuable large-eared early variety 
which we can recommend, especially for market.

“Last season I planted yvour North Star 
Sweet Corn seed and the ground froze after 
I planted it. Then tt rained and rained, and 
was so cold I was sure it would never come 
up, bul it did and made a qood early crop.”

et OP Ee ae 

North Star—targe, early and delicious. 
132 NORTHERN CROSS. Tremendous Yielder of Large Fine Quality Ears 
(73 days.) This second early hybrid has such extraordi- 
nary vigor that it seems to grow by leaps and bounds. There are usually two and often three 
good ears to a plant, and our new strain has even larger and better cars than the original. 
It ripens about a week later than North Star and if planted together these two varieties 
will give a continuous supply of the finest early corn. 
Northern Cross is a sweet corn of the highest quality. The ears are large, nearly eight inches 
long with twelve to fourteen rows of bright yellow kernels which are delicate, succulent and 
tender. We are proud of our improved strain of this hybrid and recommend it highly. (Not 
resistant to wilt.)

ALL OUR SWEET CORN SEED IS TREATED 
For better stands and bigger crops, we have treated all our corn with a suitable fungi- 
cide by the modern slurry method. If you plant in very cold soil, additional treatment 
with Arasan or Semesan Jr. is still recommended. See page 81.
