SWEET CORN 
One pound of seed will plant 350 to 400 hills; 10 to 12 Ibs. will plant an acre. 
HARRIS’ NORTH STAR 
The arge size, fine quality and attractive dark husks make this the best early corn. 
130 North Star 
Extra Early—Large Ears (67 days) 
Now recognized as the best early hybrid in the 
East, our famous North Star is the corn that 
makes money for the growers. Developed 
and sold only by us, it produces bigger yields of 
better corn than anything in its class, and it 
comes on at a time when prices are still high. 
North Star is bred for early planting and 
makes a rapid vigorous growth, even under 
tough weather conditions, when other varieties 
often fail to make a crop. Although it ripens 
very early, its handsome large ears and excep- 
tional quality are the equal of many later 
varieties, and every year more growers discover 
that this superb corn is absolutely unbeatable. 
The kernels are deep creamy gold, tender and 
sweet, and the ears are fully seven inches long, 
mostly 12-rowed and protected by a large thick 
husk that makes them fresh and attractive look- 
ing. They sell at a premium on sight and the 
wonderful flavor and tenderness bring the cus- 
tomers back for more. The yields are much 
greater than other early kinds and many grow- 
ers use it even for later planting. See prices on 
page 13. 
125 Marcross C6.13 
Early—Uniform Large Ears (69 days) 
Popular early hybrid ripening a day or two 
later than North Star and noted for its uniform 
large ears. The stalks are short and sturdy and 
the ears are 12 rowed, about 7 inches long. 
Shows more wilt resistance than other early 
varieties. See prices on page 13.

138 Sun-Up (New) 
The First to Market (65 days) 
Sun-Up is our earliest hybrid, yet it combines 
good size, attractive appearance and fine qual- 
ity. It is ready to pick with the very first to 
ripen, yet the ears are 6% inches long with 10 
or 12 rows of broad plump kernels that have a 
sweetness remarkable in this season. 
This exclusive Harris’ variety is grown from 
a three-way cross, the only way we know to get 
the combination of earliness, vigor, fine quality 
and heavy yield that makes Sun-Up so popular 
for extra early crops. See prices on page 13. 
132 Northern Cross 
An Early, Heavy Yielding Hybrid (73 days) 
Northern Cross was the first hybrid we intro- 
duced and it is still highly popular in many sec- 
tions of the Northeast. It is a variety of great 
vigor with fine sturdy plants which often pro- 
duce two and occasionally three good ears to a 
plant. Growers like the dark green husks and 
dark silks which give a fine market appearance. 
These large ears are very uniform in size, 
usually eight inches long with 12-14 rows of 
bright yellow kernels. It is a tremendous yielder 
and has exceptionally high quality. See prices 
on page 13.

” 
then drouth, and yet made a good crop and early.
