Much of the superiority of our sweet corn is due to thorough checking in our trials. 
Here Wilbur Scott and Ray Statt compare new hybrids for quality, yield, vigor and earliness. 
OPEN-POLLINATED SWEET CORN 
The following varieties of sweet corn are called “‘open-pollinated” because they do not require 
special control of pollination as the hybrids do. They are often preferred for the home garden 
because the ears ripen over a longer period from one planting. 
120 HARRIS’ EXTRA EARLY BANTAM. Prolific, Very Early Yellow Sweet 
Corn. (68 days.) This fine corn 
which we introduced in 1926 is still considered one of the best early sweet corns to grow. Lt is 
8-rowed and identical to Golden Bantam for size, shape and high quality but is actually len to 
two weeks earlier, being among the earliest varieties of sweet corn. It is also one of the most pro- 
lific varieties. More often than not, each stalk will have two well developed ears. 
It is the only very early corn of the true Bantam type, and we consider this an excellent high 
quality variety for the home garden. 
Pkt. 10c; 44 Lb. 30c; Lh. 50c; 2 Lbs. 95c; 6 Lbs. $2.45; 12 Lbs. $4.40. 
141 WHIPPLE’S YELLOW. (77 days.) We introduced this variety over twenty years ago and 
it is still preferred by many growers. The ears are large and heavy, 8 to 9 inches long, and have 
14 to 18 rows of deep yellow kernels of good quality. The stalks grow quite tall and often pro- 
duce two good ears. 
Many strains of Whipple’s yellow are now offered but none is equal to our original strain 
which we have grown here on our own farms. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Lb. 25c; 1 Lb. 45c; 2 Lbs. 85c; 6 Lbs. $2.30; 12 Lbs. $3.95. 
110 GOLDEN BANTAM. True 8 rowed Stock. (80 days.) This is the real old-fashioned Golden 
Bantam, with all the sweetness and fine buttery flavor that made it famous. The ears are 
small, 8-rowed, with large broad kernels of deep yellow color and superb quality. Stilla favorite 
with home gardeners, Golden Bantam is delicious to eat and excellent for freezing. 
Pkt. 10c; % Lb. 30c; Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 95c; 6 Lbs. $2.45; 12 Lbs. $4.40. 
105 BUTTERCUP. Larger Ears than Golden Bantam. (80 days.) One of the best 
flavored kinds of corn ever grown, this old Harris’ specialty is still a 
good one for the home garden. The ears are long and slender with 8 to 10 rows of large, broad 
kernels. They have a rich “June butter” yellow color and are deliciously succulent and tender. 
The sweetness and full rich flavor are unsurpassed, either fresh or frozen. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Lb. 30c; Lb. 50c. 
112 GOLDEN COUNTRY GENTLEMAN. For Fine Quality. (88 days.) No home garden 
should be without some of this delicious late corn, to come on after the other varieties are gone. 
The ears are bright golden yellow and have long slim “‘shoe-peg”’ kernels irregularly placed 
on the cob without rows. Many people like it for canning and it is a delicious sweet corn to eat 
fresh. Pkt. 10c; 4% Lb. 30c; Lb. 50c; 2 Lbs. 95c. 2 
POP CORN 
A packet will sow about 150 ft. of row. Use 3 to 5 Ibs. per acre. 


Pop corn is grown much the same as field corn. Plant fairly early in rows 3 ft. apart and allow 
the ears to mature thoroughly before husking in the fall. Very easy to produce, fun to grow at 
home and often very profitable for market. 
147 HYBRID HULLESS. (Minhybrid 250.) The Best Pop Corn for Short Season. 
This early white pop corn is so superior in quality and pro- 
ductiveness in our season that we do not list any other. The deep, pointed kernels have an 
unusually thin skin and when popped, are tender, free of fiber and exceptionally delicious. It is 
a true, heavy yielding hybrid with two and often three small ears per stalk, and ripens very 
early. Easy to grow, even in the North, and the white kernel pops nearly 100‘ co making 
large fluffy white pop corn everyone will enjoy. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Lb. 45c; 1 Lb. 85c; 2 Lbs. $1.60; 714 Lbs. $4.95.

SOW RYE GRASS ON YOUR CORN 
Instead of bare stubble in the fall, you 
can have a heavy growth of soil-building 
turf by sowing Domestic Rye Grass in 
midsummer right on your crop. It prevents 
erosion, preserves fertility and adds humus. 
(See photo on page 3.) 
Sow about 1 lb. per 1,000 sq. fl.; aboul 15 lbs. 
per acre. 
1 Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 65c; 5 Lbs. $1.35; 10 
Lbs. $2.40 postpaid.
