Harris’ New York State Certified Tomato Seed 
For years we have made a specialty of growing tomato seed of the best possible quality here in 
the North on Moreton Farm, from carefully selected pedigree stocks. Now we are pleased to offer 
our customers Certified Tomato Seed. 
Hitherto seed certification in this state has been confined to field seed, corn, potatoes, etc., but 
now the New York Seed Improvement Association, which by law is the official seed certifying 
agency of the State, has set up the highest standards of purity and freedom of disease for certifica¬ 
tion of tomato seed grown in this State. 
All our tomato seed crops which we grew this year were entered for certification. The fields 
were carefully inspected by experts from Cornell University on behalf of the New York State Seed 
Improvement Association, and have fully passed the requirements for purity and freedom from 
disease. We believe ours is the first New York State Certified Tomato Seed to be offered for sale. 
Growing tomatoes for seed only, the way we do, costs us more but we feel that we should do 
everything in our power to furnish only the best possible seed that can be obtained and the results 
our customers get make it well worth while. 
New Rutgers Tomato 
An Extra Large and Solid Main Crop Sort 
This new tomato was originated by Dr. Schermer- 
horn of the New Jersey Agriculture Experiment Station 
at Rutgers from a cross of Marglobe and J. T. D. (a good 
canning sort). From our observation of the crop which 
we grew this year and the trials we have seen, we believe 
that this variety will have a definite place in the list of 
fine varieties. 
The outstanding features of the Rutgers tomato are 
the large size and solid structure of the fruit, deep globe 
shape, fine flavor and deep red color all over, together 
with a heavy set of fruit which makes for high yield. 
It is not an early variety—but ripens about the same 
time as Marglobe. In a normal season Rutgers will 
produce an abundance of ripe fruit before the vines are 
killed by frost. The vines are strong and sturdy, with 
plenty of leaves to prevent the fruit being scalded by 
the sun. 
We offer Certified Seed of our own growing which 
has been saved only from early ripening fruit from 
vines carefully selected for trueness to type.

Bonny Best—Harris’ Special Strain 
We are sure there is no finer strain of Bonny Best 
than the one we offer. It is all of our own growing from 
carefully selected plants. It will be found of the highest 
quality, producing the smoothest and most perfect fruit 
of a deep red color.

Harris’ Tomato Plants 
We have a reputation for producing fine, sturdy, 
true to name tomato plants. They can be furnished 
either ready to set out in the open ground, or, if pre¬ 
ferred, small plants which can be grown in frames for 
a few weeks before setting out. 
See page 35 for prices and varieties. 
Harvesting Rutgers Tomatoes on Moreton lomato plants came through in good shape and they are better
