HARRIS* CERTIFIED SEED POTATOES 
Almost everyone at the present time knows the importance of using 
seed potatoes that are free from the diseases that are transmitted by the 
seed. Diseases such as mosaic, leaf roll, wilt, etc. may not be very apparent 
All of our certified potatoes are from crops that have been inspected by 
the N. Y. Seed Improvement Association and certified as practically free 
from disease. 
PLEASE READ:—Prices here given are for the potatoes carefully 
put up for shipment and delivered to freight house or express office with¬ 
out 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 order¬ 
ed 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 ordinary 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. 
No. 1 Certified Seed. Peck 95c; Single Bu. $2.35; Sack of 2*4 Bu. 
$5.35. Purchaser pays transportation. 
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. 
Peck 90c; Bu. $2.25; Sack (2^2 Bu.) $5.t0. Purchaser pays trans¬ 
portation. 
CERTIFIED HEAVY WEIGHT or SMOOTH RURALS 
Also Called No. 9 
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 75c; Single Bu. $1.85; Sack (2V4 Bu.) 
$4.25. Purchaser pays transportation. 
Second Size (Certified). 
Peck 60c; Bu. $1.70; Sack ( 2 V 2 Bu .) $3.85. Purchaser pays trans¬ 
portation. 
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. 
No. 1 Certified Seed. Peck 85c; Bu. $2.00; Sack (2*/2 Bu.) $4.50. 
Purchaser pays transportation. 
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 dis¬ 
card your old seed and plant only clean seed. 
Golden Rural or Rural Russet Potatoes 
CERTIFIED GOLDEN RURAL or RURAL RUSSET 
Heaviest 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.
