SWEET CORN 
Sweet Corn breeding 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 research 
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. 
HYBRID SWEET CORN. Hybrid sweet corn has so many advantages in yield, vigor and 
uniformity that few people grow the old open-pollinated varieties any longer. For them, 
however, we still list two—Harris’ Extra Early Bantam and Golden Bantam—whose 
popularity is still great. 
To get a succession of fine corn all summer, the best way is to use several hybrids 
maturing at different dates and plant them all together. Our Sweet Corn Collections 
are ideal for this purpose. (See below.) 
Notes: 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. Do not save seed from your hybrid crops as it will not come true next year. 
At the prices here quoted, we pay transportation charges on sweet corn to places 
in the United States. Please write for special prices on larger amounts. 
138 SUN-UP. Large-Eared—First Early. 
65 days. You can be the first in your neighborhood to enjoy really good sweet corn 
when you plant Sun-Up, Harris’ remarkable extra early hybrid. Right from the start 
of the season you will have large, attractive ears, 10 or 12 rowed, 614-7 in. long and of 
golden yellow color. But the real thrill comes when you eat them; these early ears are 
of better quality than many of the later kinds—sweet, tender and of delicious flavor. 
Developed by Harris, Sun-Up is a three-way cross, taking us two years to grow the 
seed crop, but giving you the maximum earliness, size and quality. It is bred for early 
planting to get the first early crops, and it has the vigor to come through well even in 
cool weather. For extra early corn, Sun-Up is without equal.

North Star—Far superior to any early variety. 
130 NORTH STAR. Harris’ Famous Early Hybrid. 
67 days. There is no early corn that can match the combination of 
earliness, vigor, size and quality found in North Star. Home gardeners 
and market growers both acclaim it as the one outstanding early 
hybrid, profitable to grow and wonderful to eat. Developed and sold 
only by us, it has rapidly become famous all over the Northern part 
of the county. 
North Star has unusual vigor and can be planted very early—it keeps 
right on growing even in cold weather. The husky plants produce tre- 
meéndous crops of large ears, well covered by a dark green, attractive 
husk. The ears are 7 to 8 in. long, mostly 12 rowed and the golden 
kernels are remarkably tender, sweet and delicious. Without question, 
the finest early corn to grow.

“We found your North Star Corn very remarkable last year. It produced 
an enormous crop and was truly delicious. We froze several dozen ‘on 
the cob’ and it is still very superior as to flavor and texture.”’ 
Mrs. Davis G. Phinney 
March 10, 1950 Warehouse Point, Conn. 
125 MARCROSS C6.13. Wilt Resistant Early Hybrid. 69 days. A de- 
pendable early hybrid, ripening a day or two later than North Star 
with a slightly larger ear. It is noted for its uniform cylindrical ears 
about 7 inches long, 12 rowed with light golden kernels of good quality. 
The stalks are short but sturdy and are more resistant to wilt than most 
early varieties. Valuable for market.
