HYBRID 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 hybrids in the future, and at the same time we continue to make the exist- 
ing 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. 
There is now an excellent hybrid in every season from extra early to late. To get 
a succession of the best corn, use several hybrids maturing at different dates and 
plant them all at once. Our Corn Collections on page 16 are ideal for this purpose. 
Note: Plant three or four rows of corn 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 ker- 
nels. Do not save seed from your hybrid crops as it will not come true. 
Sweet corn is shipped postpaid in the U. S. A. to the 5th zone (about 1000 miles from 
Rochester. Includes Minn., lowa and Missouri to the West and Alabama and Georgia to 
the South.) Beyond this limit, please add 5c per Ib. for extra shipping charges.

138 SUN-UP. Large-Eared—First Early. 
65 days. You can be the first in your neighborhood to enjoy real ears of fine sweet 
corn when you plant Sun-Up, Harris’ remarkable extra early hybrid. It is one of the 
earliest kinds, yet it has large, attractive ears, 10 or 12-rowed, 614-7 in. long, of 
golden yellow color. But the real thrill comes when you eat them; these early ears 
have good quality for this season—sweet, tender and fine-flavored. 
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.

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 country. 
North Star has unusual vigor and can be planted very early—it keeps right on growing even in cold 
weather. The husky plants produce tremendous 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.
