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 specialty for many 
years, and we have created a number of exclusive varieties that have met with great 
favor. A large scale breeding program is carried on here on our farms to bring you more 
great varieties in the future, and at the same time we continue to make the existing 
varieties better than ever. 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. In a 
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 
uniform, and the quality is often better too. They ripen more nearly at one time, but to 
get a succession growers use several hybrids maturing at different dates and plant them 
all together. Our sweet corn collections are ideal for this purpose. (See page 19.) 
Note: Do not save seed from your hybrid crops as it will not come true the next year.

“North Star corn is certainly the finest I have ever used. Just 66 days from day planted, 
had mature ears seven and eight inches long. Very sweet and yellow. That was certainly 
remarkable considering the awful drouth we had.” 
Aug. 1, 1949. J. H. Pearce, Sodus, N. Y. 

125 MARCROSS C6.13. Wilt Resistant Early Hybrid (69 days.) Well adapted 
in the East and widely grown for early crop. It is a day or two later than North 
Star with a slightly larger 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 wilt 
(Stewart’s disease). Valuable large-eared early variety which we can recommend, 
especially for market.

Carmelcross has everything—big, attractive ears, fine quality and bears tremen- 
dous crops ripening just after the extra early kinds are past. For market, it is ideal
