SWEET CORN 
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 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. 
There is now an excellent hybrid in every season from extra early to late. To get a suc- 
cession of the best corn, use several hybrids maturing at different dates and plant them all 
at once. Our Corn Collections on page 14 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, pollina- 
tion 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. 
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 lb. 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.

112 GOLDEN BEAUTY (New). All-America Silver Medal for 1955 
68 days. Golden Beauty is the first hybrid we have found that will 
rival our famous North Star in yield, quality and appearance. Devel- 
oped by W. H. Lachman of Mass., Golden Beauty matures only a day 
or so later, yields equally well and has good resistance to wilt. 
The ears are neat and attractive, slightly smaller and more slender 
than North Star but with tighter, more even rows. They have an 
appetizing bright golden color, and excellent flavor and tenderness for 
the season, equal to, or better than North Star. The husks are uni- 
form, smooth and tight and the plants are vigorous and highly pro- 
ductive. We highly recommend a good trial of this All-American 
Silver Medal winner, especially in wilt areas. See photo on page I.
