Abstract: For a finite abelian group $(G,+,0)$ the Harborth constant $mathsfg(G)$ is the smallest integer $k$ such that each squarefree sequence over $G$ of length $k$, equivalently each subset of $G$ of cardinality at least $k$, has a subsequence of length $exp(G)$ whose sum is $0$. In this paper, it is established that $mathsfg(G)=3n+3$ for prime $neq3$ and $mathsfg(C_{3}oplus{C}_9)=13$.
