SWEET CORN—Continued. 
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 ears 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, succu- 
lent and tender. We are proud of our improved strain of this hybrid and recommend it 
highly. (Not resistant to wilt.) 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Lb. 40c; Lb. 75c; 2 Lbs. $1.30; 5 Lbs. $3.25; 10 Lbs. $5.50. 
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 between 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 of handsome appearance. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Lb. 40c; Lb. 70c; 2 Lbs. $1.30; 5 Lbs. $3.00; 10 Lbs. $5.25.

115 GOLDEN CROSS BANTAM. Harris’ Own Strain. 
(84 days) Golden 
Cross Bantam is still the standard of excellence in sweet corn, and 
this year we proudly announce a new strain of our own development, 
the result of many years breeding here on our farms. It is outstanding 
in yield, size and uniformity and its superb quality cannot be sur- 
passed. 
The ears are most attractive, long and cylindrical with golden 
yellow kernels filling them right to the tip. They mature in mid- 
season and ripen over a short period, but will remain in good con- 
dition longer than any kind we know. It is ideally suited to home 
canning and quick freezing, as well as market and commercial use. 
Our stock has better seedling vigor, more even growth and better 
ears than most, and the deep kernels have wonderful sweetness, 
tenderness and flavor. 
This variety is resistant to wilt and adapted all over the North- 
east.

111 GOLDEN BOUNTY. (New.) Larger-Eared Golden Cross Type. (85 days.) All the real 
sweet corn flavor and attractive appearance of Golden Cross Bantam 
are here combined with longer ears and a more robust plant. Golden Bounty has proved a great success 
with many fine growers, large and small, and we recommend it most highly. 
The vigorous, broad-leaved plants grow about 6 inches taller than Golden Cross and carry the ears 
well up on the stalk. Well-filled, cylindrical and attractive, these long ears mature a day or two later, 
and the golden yellow kernels are sweet, tender and of the most delicious flavor. Plant Golden Bounty 
for main crop this year. (Caution: This variety appears to be susceptible to injury by 2-4-D weed 
killer.) 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Lb. 40c; Lb. 75c; 2 Lbs. $1.40; 5 Lbs. $3.25; 10 Lbs. $5.75.

123 LIOANA. Excellent Midseason Hybrid. (86 days.) Ioana fills the need for a main crop corn of high 
quality for areas where Golden Cross is not so successful. The plant is strong and robust, producing 
large ears (8 inches long) with 12-14 rows of sweet, tender, bright yellow kernels. It succeeds in dry 
seasons and is resistant to wilt (Stewart’s disease). In season it closely follows Golden Cross Bantam, 
and is preferred by some growers because of its sturdy vigorous growth, even under adverse conditions. 
The plants are erect and produce few suckers. 
We recommend this big hybrid corn highly, and have found it especially good in the south. 
Golden Bounty Pkt. 15c; 14 Lb. 40c; Lb. 70c; 2 Lbs. $1.30; 5 Lbs. $3.00; 10 Lbs. $5.25.
