Harris’ New York State Certified Tomato Seed 
New York State Certified Tomato seed must meet the highest standards of purity and freedom 
from disease. 
For the third year we are pleased to offer New York State Certified Tomato seed. It will 
interest our customers to know that our methods of growing and curing seed are so careful and 
our stocks so pure and disease free that since the beginning we have not had to change our methods 
in any particular to conform with these very strict standards of the New York State Seed Im¬ 
provement Association. 
Our careful methods and 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. The results our customers get make it well worth while. A few ounces of seed will 
plant a large plot of tomatoes. Insist on getting only the best regardless of price. It will repay 
you many times over. 
NYSTATE (New) 
Early, Thick Meated, 
Heavy Cropper 
Since its introduction in 
1936 this tomato has become 
recognized as an excellent 
kind for market. 
NYSTATE was origi¬ 
nated at and introduced by the 
New York State Agriculture 
Experiment Station, 
The fruit is very attrac¬ 
tive in appearance being of a 
slightly flattened globe shape, 
very smooth, resistant to 
cracking and an excellent 
deep red color which extends 
all through the fruit. The 
flesh is solid and of outstand¬ 
ing fine flavor, being very 
mild and sweet. NYSTATE

New Rutgers Tomato 
An Extra Large and Solid Main Crop Sort 
This new tomato certainly deserves the great popularity it has attained since its introduc¬ 
tion. It was originated by Dr. Schermerhorn of the New Jersey Agriculture Experiment Station. 
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 Mar- 
globe. 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. See prices on next page. 
Harris’ Extra Early Earliana— The Smoothest Strain 
We are sure that all our customers who have raised our special strain of Earliana tomato will 
agree with us that it is the smoothest and best colored stock of Earliana obtainable. There are other 
tomatoes offered under various names which are said to be earlier than Earliana, but we have 
found none to be any earlier and most of them are irregular in shape and not so well colored.

Marglobe Tomato— Blight Resistant 
We have grown this variety on our own farm since it was first released by the U. S. Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture and have made careful selections each year to improve the yield, uniformity 
of color, size and shape of fruit. 
The fruit is large, globe shaped, perfectly smooth, deep red, very solid and firm. The vines 
are vigorous and healthy and do not blight. They remain green until frost, so the late fruit is as 
good as the first to ripen. Certified Seed of our own growing. See prices on next page.
