SWEET 
CORN 
One pound of seed will plant 350 to 400 hills; 10 to 12 lbs. will plant an acre. 
NOW—ALL OUR SWEET CORN SEED IS TREATED 
an added service to give you better stands and bigger crops. 

Northern-grown sweet corn seed has been our specialty for many years. Combining scientific 
breeding with the greatest care in processing, we produce seed of the highest vitality and purity. 

Our trial work means better sweet corn for you. 
130 North Star 
Extra Early—Large Ears—Fine Quality (67 days) 
This Harris’ hybrid introduced by us in 1941 
has become one of the most widely grown early 
varieties in the East. It ripens only a few days 
after Seneca 60 yet has the same fine large ears 
as many later varieties, and growers every- 
where praise it in glowing terms. They like its 
rapid and vigorous growth, the enormous yield 
and the large delicious ears. 
The kernels are deep, creamy gold and excep- 
tionally tender and sweet. Ears are fully 7 inches 
long, mostly 12 rowed, and well protected by a 
fine large husk which makes them most attract- 
ive. The ears sell at a premium on sight, and the 
wonderful flavor and tenderness brings the 
customers back for more. 
North Star is by far the finest corn for first 
early crop. Growers tell us that the vigorous 
seed will come up even in cold weather when 
other varieties fail to make a stand, and it 
ripens early, bringing the highest prices. The 
yields are also much greater than other early 
kinds and many growers use North Star even 
for later plantings. See prices on page 13.

Early—Uniform Large Ears, Wilt Resistant (69 days) 
Popular early hybrid ripening a day or two 
later than North Star and noted for its remark- 
ably uniform large ears. The stalks are short 
and sturdy and the ears are 12 rowed, about fi 
inches long with light golden yellow kernels of 
very good quality. The strain we offer is a most 
uniform and attractive stock, and we rec- 
ommend it highly.

Our sweet corn trials and ‘‘workshop”’ 
are the scene of many disappointments. 
Of the hundreds of experimental 
crosses we make every year, only a 
few will have enough promise to make 
it worth while to continue their devel- 
opment, and as often as not the second 
year will show that these too have 
little value for the grower. 
But although really great new 
varieties are created only at long inter- 
vals, the work of improving our estab- 
lished varieties goes on all the time. By 
constant selection of their parent in- 
breds and further experimental cross- 
ing, we can give you frequent advances 
in their earliness, size or quality. 
And when the new varieties we are 
now developing appear in quantity, 
they too will be kept up to the increas- 
ingly higher standards we set ourselves 
that make Harris’ Sweet Corn the best 
to be had. 

NORTH STAR 
“Every ear of North Star was in the market 
before any other local corn was in.”
