“ We purchased the Pritchard's Scarlet Topper and Marglobe 
tomatoes last year. We planted 1800 and picked 950 half bushels 
of first class saleable tomatoes. When we hauled to the Louisville 
market the purchaser paid me 20 to 25 per cent more on each 
basket. All the buyers and farmers at the market said they were 
the best tomatoes that were hauled to the market in 1935.

Red Varieties 
JOHN BAER—Improved Heavy Yielding Strain. See 
page 14. This improved strain produces immense crops 
of smooth, handsome fruit;larger than most fruit of this variety. It is 
one of the best second early or main crop kinds for market and canning. 
We find by carefully conducted trials and reports of critical growers 
that our strain of John Baer is fully equal to any stock of this variety 
obtainable and far superior to most of them. 
Certified Seed. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; ^ Lb. $1.45; Lb. $4.75. 
BONNY BEST. Harris’ Special Strain. This magnificent early variety 
should be largely planted for home use and market. The fruit ripens only 
a week later than Earliana and the plants produce enormous crops of 
beautiful, smooth, high colored fruit, practically all of which ripen before 
the vines are killed by frost. 
The tomatoes are of good size, only slightly smaller than Improved 
John Baer, smooth as an apple and a deep scarlet color which extends 
right up to the stem without any green tinge. There is no finer strain of 
Bonny Best than the seed we offer, no matter what price is charged for it. 
This seed is from carefully selected plants, and will be found of the 
highest quality, producing the smoothest and most perfect fruit. 
Certified Seed. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; |4 Lb. $1.45; Lb. $4.75. 
MARGLOBE—Blight Resistant. Main Crop. This tomato has estab¬ 
lished itself as an extra fine commercial variety in many sections. 
The tomatoes are large, globe shaped, smooth, color perfectly up to the 
stem and are of a deep red color all through. The vines are vigorous and 
resist blight well even in very wet weather. 
The fruit ripens medium late coming on just after John Baer and 
Bonny Best. It is so large, smooth and handsome that it is excellent for 
market, canning or any other purpose. 
Our original stock seed was sent to us by the United States Department 
of Agriculture at Washington. We have grown and improved this variety 
on our farm for eight years, until now we have a stock that is unsur¬ 
passed.

Harris* New York State Certified 
Tomato Seed 
For years we have made a specialty of raising tomato seed of 
the best possible quality from pedigreed stocks on our own 
farm here in the North. 
Now we are pleased to offer Certified Tomato Seed. AH 
our tomato seed crops which we grew this year have been in¬ 
spected by representatives of the New York Seed Improve¬ 
ment Co-operative Association, which is by law the official 
seed certifying agency in this State, and have fully passed their 
very strict requirements for trueness to type, purity of variety 
and freedom from disease. We believe ours is the first New York 
Stale Certified Tomato Seed ever to be offered for sale. 
11 costs us considerably more to grow tomatoes the way we do 
for seed only but the excellent results our customers get make 
us feel that it is well worth while.

EARLIANA—Harris’ Extra Early Strain. We have bred up this strain 
of Earliana tomato for many years until now we have it so perfected 
that it not only ripens as early as any other kind, but is also much smooth¬ 
er and more regular in size and shape and colors almost perfectly around the 
stem. This tomato is not only very early but the fruit is solid and meaty 
and of fine quality. To get very early tomatoes both for the home garden 
and roadside stand try our Earliana.

CANADIAN. This variety originated at the Canadian Agricultural Experi¬ 
ment Station at Guelph and has proved to be one of the very earliest 
tomatoes. It is really a large early strain of Earliana with smooth, well 
colored fruit. In some seasons we have picked several baskets of Cana¬ 
dian before there was any ripe fruit on our field of other kinds. 
We have grown and improved this variety on our own farm for several 
years until now it is even better than when we first introduced it. 
Certified Seed. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 55c; *4 Lb. $1.55; Lb. $5.25. 
BREAK O’DAY. This variety has been very well liked in sections where 
the vines are staked and there is a demand for early fruit of good size 
and shape. 
The fruit matures early, is as round, smooth as an apple, and deep 
orange red in color. Within, the color is deep red, the flesh is very solid 
and of high quality. The vines are of a spreading habit of growth with 
large leaves. They carry an abundance of fruit and resist blight. 
Break O’Day will not do well on light dry soil but has proved to be 
most satisfactory when staked and grown on rich well watered ground.

PRITCHARD’S SCARLET TOPPER. Also called Pritchard. See color 
photo on page 6. This is a new tomato of great merit. The fruit is a 
deep brilliant red, solid and well colored. The quality is exceptionally 
good and the yield very heavy.

HARRIS’ SUCCESS. This is one of the best all around tomatoes that we 
know of. Although but a little later than Bonny Best and John Baer, 
the fruit is larger and like Stone. It is of the finest quality for cooking or 
canning, being much sweeter and more free from acidity than most 
other kinds. The vines are very vigorous and produce enormous crops of 
very large, handsome fruit. Growers of green tomatoes for pickles will 
find this variety especially valuable as the fruit is very solid, of good 
color and free from blemish at the blossom end. This is a most satis¬ 
factory variety to have in the home garden.

Just to let you know what a ivonderful seed Harris’ Success was. We never had such a 
crop as Harris' Success yielded. Everyone asked what kind of plants they were. They 
yielded an enormous crop of fine large tomatoes. Patrick Manion, Marlborough, N. Y.
