VEGETABLES OF SPEC/AL MEP/T 
The carefully selected list of vegetables which we offer on the following few pages are among the best in their respective 
classes. These are carefully bred strains which we have selected for their unusual merit and many of them are Harris’ 
introductions which we have bred and grown here on our own farm. 
Imperial 44 Lettuce 
“The Best Heading Iceberg for the East” 
We expect that this new variety may revolutionize lettuce growing in the East. Dis¬ 
covered in a search for an Iceberg lettuce to grow on muck, it is the only variety which 
can be grown on a wide variety of soils, both upland and muck and produce crops 
that can compete successfully with western grown “Iceberg.” It makes heads better 
than any other strain and shows marked resistance to tip burn. We have seen trial 
rows cut 100% good heads in July and commercial crops cutting over 90%. 
This lettuce is equally good on upland and muck, although the muck grown plants 
are usually a little larger. The heads are true "Iceberg” type, solid and of fine quality. 
Note: The seed of true Imperial 44 is white. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; M Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.00. 
Also called “Winter Keeper” or “New Century.” 
This beet has long been a favorite among our customers, and each 
year makes a host of new friends. 
If you want a beet that will remain tender and sweet all summer and 
fall and keep all winter, try the “Long Season.” It is the best quality table 
beet. It makes no difference whether the beets are young or old, small or 
large, they are always tender. The beets are a very deep red color without 
light colored rings and with large green tops. 
Do not depend on this beet for early use as it grows slowly but when the 
early-sown beets get tough and poor, the Long Season will be found to be of 
the finest quality and even though they are very large, just as tender as the 
young early beets, they retain their fine quality when stored in a cold place 
for winter use.

Imperial 44 Lettuce 
Solid heads of fine quality. 
Long Season 
“A Beet of Quality” 
Cosberg 
A Novel New Lettuce of Superior Quality 
This new lettuce which resembles “Iceberg” in general appearance is most remarkable 
for its crisp solid heads and superior flavor. The heads are not large, but extremely solid, 
a very attractive light green color and the best quality of any lettuce of this type we 
have yet seen. In our trials it has proved a very sure header. We recommend this new 
variety especially to the home gardener and roadside stand where quality counts. Make 
a trial planting this year. You will be surprised and pleased.

Harris’ Ballhead Cabbage

Long Season Beets 
One beet will make a meal! They are more tender and delicious than many young beets. 
“We have been using your seeds off and on for about ten years and have always had good 
results. Last season we tried your Long Season beets and found them to be the best of their kind we 
have ever grown. They were excellent eating and very nice canned.” 
Homer E. Bartran, Lancaster, N. H. April 3, 1939. 
Ha rns Ballhead 
The Outstanding Danish Cabbage 
Without doubt this is the premium stock of Danish Ballhead. 
It is very uniform, extremely solid and just the right size for market and shipping, averaging 
5 to 6 lbs. in weight. The vigor and great uniformity of this strain year in and year out make it a 
most consistent heavy yielder of fine cabbage and in addition it has proved to be a very superior 
keeper, coming out of storage in excellent shape. 
The heads are greener than most Danish cabbage and have a slight purple tinge. Because of 
the attractive appearance, uniform size and firmness, tills cabbage commands the best prices 
and often sells readily when the market is slow. See also page 15. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; M Lb. $1.30; Lb. $3.75. 
Super Curled Savoy 
The Most Even Stock—Finest Quality Cabbage 
Savoy cabbage is of so much better quality than ordinary cabbage that everyone should 
have some in their garden. If you have not eaten Savoy cabbage you have no idea what a 
delicate flavor cabbage can have. Super Curled is the finest stock of Savoy cabbage. The 
plants are uniform, short stemmed and compact. The heads are good sized, firm, round and 
completely blistered all thru the head. It matures earlier and more evenly than any stock 
we have ever seen. See photo on page 15. 
Pkt. 10; Oz. 60c; M Lb. $1.65; Lb. $5.00. 
“I don't know just how long I have been buying my seed from you but I ivould say about W 
years. During that time I don’t recollect of ever receiving any poor seeds and 1 have always found 
your descriptions and recommendations dependable .” 
E. B. Underhill, Old Orchard Farm, Poughkeepsie, N. Y. Dec. 9, 1939.
