HARRIS SEEDS for 1939 
Judging Tomatoes in our trial 
grounds. 
Northern Grown for Earliness and Vigor 
Here at Moreton Farm, situated near Lake Ontario, we raise seed 
of our Special Northern Grown varieties in sufficient quantities to 
supply the needs of our customers. (We do not sell to dealers.) 
Our Northern Grown Seeds are noted for their vigor and high 
vitality. It has been abundantly proved that our special strains, 
grown and bred for years here in the North possess vigor, earliness 
and superior quality not found in similar stocks grown in the South. 
When you buy Harris’ Seeds, you are getting more value for your 
money. You are getting many new and improved varieties of vegetables 
and flowers, backed by years of breeding and careful selection; varieties 
which cannot be obtained elsewhere. 
Each fall as we write our catalogue, we check over notes which we 
have made while working during the summer among our many vege¬ 
table and flower trials, breeding plots and growing crops. We have 
put into our descriptions not mere selling talk, but plain facts, 
based on our years of experience. From this catalogue you can 
choose the best vegetables and flowers for your garden. 
Sincerely yours, 
JOSEPH HARRIS CO., INC.
