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. Last year ours was the first New York 
State Certified Tomato Seed ever to be offered for sale. We are 
pleased to offer Certified Tomato seed again this year. 
All our tomato seed crops which we grew this year have been 
inspected 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. 
It 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. 
New—Extra Large and Solid Fruit. This new 
■ i tomato which originated at the New Jersey Agricultural 
Experiment Station is outstanding for the large size and solid structure 
of the fruit. This combined with a deep red color all over, fine globe 
shape and excellent flavor make Rutgers a very popular variety. 
This is not an early variety, but matures about the same time as 
Marglobe. The yield is very large and it will ripen an abundance of 
fruit before the vines are killed by frost. 
Rutgers is a superb kind for canning. The canned fruit being 
firm, mild but with excellent flavor and a very attractive deep red 
color. Try some Rutgers this year.

Rutgers — A superb new variety. 
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 smoother 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, meaty and of fine quality. To get 
very early tomatoes both for the home garden or market 
try our Earliana.

CANADIAN. This variety which originated at the Canadian 
Agricultural Experiment Station at Guelph is really a large 
strain of Earliana. 
We have grown and improved this variety on our own 
farm for several years until now it is even better than when 
first introduced. 
The fruit is larger than our special strain, but not quite 
as smooth, and ripens at about the same time. 
Certified Seed. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 55c; Lb. $1.55; Lb. $5.25. 
The fruit matures early, is 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 abun¬ 
dance of fruit and resist blight. 
Break O’Day does not do well on light dry soil but has 
proved to be most satisfactory in sections where the vines 
are staked and grown on rich well watered ground.

Red Varieties 
JOHN BAER. Improved Strain. Heavy Yielding. This 
-1 variety has long been one of the most reliable 
sorts for canning, home garden and market. This improved strain pro¬ 
duces immense crops of smooth, handsome fruit; larger than most fruit 
of this variety. 
The fruit is smooth, solid, deep red all through, and produced in 
great clusters. It is early enough to ripen the whole crop before frost 
in a normal season. 
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.
