HARRIS* SEED POTATOES 
Almost everyone at the present time knows the importance of 
using seed potatoes that are free from the diseases that are trans¬ 
mitted by the seed. Diseases such as mosaic, leaf roll, wilt, etc. 
may not be very apparent but they reduce the yield very much. 
The only way to raise potatoes at a profit is to plant seed free from 
these diseases. It will pay you well to discard your old seed and 
plant only clean seed. 
All of our certified potatoes are from crops that have been in¬ 
spected by the N. Y. Seed Improvement Association and certified 
as practically free from disease. 
PLEASE READ:—Prices here given are for the potatoes care¬ 
fully put up for shipment and delivered to freight house or ex- 
press office without extra charge, but the purchaser is to pay 
transportation. Please write for prices on large lots. 
By Parcel Post. Potatoes can be sent by parcel post if the 
amount to cover the necessary postage is added to the price. A peck 
weighs 15 lbs. and a bushel 60 lbs. See inside front cover. 
Shipping Season. It is usually safe to ship potatoes from here about 
April 1st. If our customers wish us to ship earlier we will do so, but we will 
not hold ourselves responsible for loss by freezing if the potatoes are ordered 
sent earlier than in our judgment it is safe to ship them. 
Half bushels and half pecks will be sent at half the bushel and peck 
price. We can send only one variety in a sack. 
CERTIFIED IRISH COBBLERS 
The leading early potato. It yields better than any other kind that is 
equally early. The potatoes are round, white, have rather deep eyes of 
fine quality and very early. Irish Cobbler is one of the best early potatoes. 
Much of the so called Irish Cobbler seed sold is either not that variety 
at all or is mixed with other kinds which are usually later and make the 
crop mature unevenly. The seed we offer is true to name.

Second Size. (Certified). These are small potatoes not quite large 
enough to pass the first grade. They are from the same certified fields 
and make good seed.

CERTIFIED GOLDEN RURAL OR RURAL RUSSET 
Hea viest Yielding Kind 
We are convinced that this variety will produce larger crops than any 
other kind where conditions of soil and climate suit it, as they do here 
and in a large section of country in the northern states. 
It will pay any grower to discard seed potatoes that he is not sure are 
free from disease and plant Certified Golden Rurals. 
The Golden Rural or Rural Russet has very strong, vigorous healthy 
vines that do not usually blight. The leaves are dark green while the 
stems are purple and often as big around as your finger. The potatoes are 
round, somewhat flattened, eyes quite shallow and the slightly russet skin 
is very rarely affected with scab. The flesh is pure white, very firm and of 
fine quality. Each hill usually has 7 to 9 good sized potatoes. There are 
rarely any small ones.

White Gold Potatoes 
WHITE GOLD— 77,e Potato of Quality 
We have never eaten a potato of better quality than White Gold. They 
are .attractive in appearance, somewhat oval in shape, as shown in the 
picture on this page, with very smooth white skin and shallow eyes. We 
have never seen a potato that is so snowy while when cooked as this kind. 
This is a very early potato and yields well. The vines are strong and 
sturdy. We recommend White Gold as a very fine kind for the 
home garden and it will undoubtedly command a premium over other kinds 
when sold at roadside stands and in markets. 
No. 1 Seed. Peck 55c; Bu. $1.25; Sack (2 y 2 Bu.) $2.75. Purchaser pays 
transportation. 
Second Size. From the same fields but not large enough for number ones. 
Peck 50c; Bu. $1.15; Sack (2i / 2 Bu .) $2.50. Purchaser pays trans¬ 
portation. 
CERTIFIED NO. 9 OR HEAVY WEIGHT 
Smooth Rurals 
This potato has steadily won a place for itself each year near the top of 
the list for yield in New York State. There are very few kinds equal to it. 
The potatoes are round to oblong, have fairly numerous medium shallow 
eyes, purple sprouts, and smooth white skin. The vines are rather stocky 
and very vigorous and resistant to disease. This is one of the best of the 
Smooth Rural or Carman class and is fast replacing many other kinds for 
the late or main crop. 
No. 1 Certified Seed. Peck 50c; Single Bu. $1.10; Sack ( 21/2 Bu.) 
$2.25. Purchaser pays transportation. 
CERTIFIED GREEN MOUNTAIN 
If you want nice mealy white potatoes of the finest quality raise Green 
Mountains. They are far superior to most of the kinds usually raised. 
The tubers are round, slightly flattened, and have few shallow eyes. The 
skin is white with a slight netting which usually goes with fine quality. 
This is a medium early variety and yields heavy crops on soil suited to it. 
It does best on rather light or gravely soil and in the northern localities 
altho it is largely grown and produces great crops on Long Island. An 
excellent kind for New York and all of New England.

PEPPERS 
Peperoni (It.) 
A packet of seed will produce about 75 plants-, an ounce about 1000 plants. 
Peppers are not difficult to raise if the right seed is used and the 
plants are set out early on rather warm, rich soil. If the peppers are kept 
picked before they turn red, the plants will produce great numbers 
during the season. 
When sowing pepper seed, cover very lightly, and keep the soil moist 
and very warm. The seed will not germinate unless kept very warm 
all the time. For the home garden it is sometimes easier to buy the 
plants. See page 47. 
PIMIENTO or “Sweet-Meat Glory.” Fruit of medium size, pointed or 
top-shaped, very smooth and glossy. It has exceptionally thick flesh 
which is firm, sweet, and of the very best quality for either salads, 
stuffing, or canning. The plants are quite tall and produce a great many 
peppers, but they mature quite la I e, so this variety is better south of New 
York State. The peppers are deep green changing to red when ripe. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; 1/4 Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.35. 
WORLDBEATER. The fruit is 4 in. long and 3 in. across, deep green turn¬ 
ing red when ripe. Matures medium early. The fruit is mild and sweet 
and very thick fleshed. This pepper is more suited to climates south of 
New York State than it is to the North. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 40c; 1/4 Lb. $1.15; Lb. $3.85. 
Golden Dawn. The peppers are green when young and when ripe are of a 
beautiful golden yellow. Of fine shape and sweet flavor. Early and 
productive. 
Pkt. 10 c; Oz. 55c; Vi Lb. $1.60; Lb. $5.50. 
Ruby King. The fruit is 5 to 6 inches long, and 23^ to 3 inches in diameter, 
bright red when ripe, deep green when young, flesh thick and very mild. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; Vi Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.35. 
Giant Crimson. (Also called Ohio Crimson.) One of the best of the 
large fruited sweet varieties. 11 is as large as Chinese Giant and is earlier 
and more prolific. The peppers are often 5 in. high and 4 in. across. 
They are very mild. Deep green when young and bright scarlet when 
ripe. 
Pkt 10 c; Oz. 50c; Vi Lb. $1.50; Lb. $5.00. 
Large Bell or Bull Nose. One of the hardiest and earliest varieties. The 
peppers are bright red when ripe and deep green when young. The flesh is 
fairly thick and somewhat “ hot” or pungent. The vines grow 18 in. to 
2 ft. tall and produce a large number of peppers of good size and nearly 
as large around as long. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; Vi Lb. $1.35; Lb. $4.50.
