Harvesting Certified Rutgers Tomatoes on our Farm 
N. Y. State Certified tomato seed conforms to the highest standards. 
Harris’ New York State Certified 
Tomato Seed 
Our Certified Tomato ^eed is all grown on our own farms for 
seed only and in comparatively small fields that have our careful 
individual attention. 
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 Nort h. In 1935 we pioneered in producing t he first crops 
of New York State Certified tomato seed to be grown. 
Again this year all our tomato seed crops have been inspected 
by representatives of the New York Seed Improvement Co¬ 
operative Association, which is by law the official seed certifying 
agency in this State, and have fully passed their very strict, re¬ 
quirements for trueness to type, purity of variety and freedom 
from disease. 
Red Varieties 
EARLIANA. Harris’ Extra Early Strain. We have bred up 
-1 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 oidy very early 
but the fruit is solid and meaty. To get very early tomatoes both for 
the home garden and market try our Earliana.

BREAK O’DAY. The fruit matures early, is round, smooth as an apple 
with deep orange red skin. The flesh is deep red in color, very solid 
and of high quality. The vines are of a spreading habit of growth with 
large leaves; resistant to blight and bear an abundance of fine fruit. 
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.

CANADIAN. Really a large, more rugged prolific strain of Earliana. 
We have grown and improved this variety on our own farm since 1926 
until now it is even better than when first introduced. 
The fruit is very red; larger than our special strain of Earliana, but 
not quite as smooth, and ripens in the same season.

N YSTATE. Early, Thick Meated and Heavy Cropper. All who have 
grown this new tomato agree with us that for flavor and sweetness it 
is without equal. It was originated by the New York State Experi¬ 
mental Station at Geneva and has great merit as a home garden and 
market variety as well as for canning. 
As we have seen it growing we were impressed not only by its fine 
flavor but by the thickness of the flesh, the beautiful red color which 
extends right through the fruit and the smooth skin. It also proved to 
be an extremely heavy cropper. The fruit is medium early, ripening 
about the same time as John Baer. 
This is a worthy addition to our list of fine tomatoes and many of 
our customers think it has no equal.

Stokesdale Tomatoes 
BISON. Very Early. Bright Red. This tomato is particularly pop- 
* ular around Syracuse, N. Y., for the first early market. The 
tomatoes are medium size, flat and quite smooth for such an early kind. 
The color is a brilliant red, without any green spots at the stem end. 
The plant bears fruit in large clusters and is of the determinate type 
which can be planted close and thus produce large early crops.

These firm solid fruits are of finest quality. 
BONNY BEST. Harris’ Special Strain. This magnificent early variety 
should be largely planted for home use and market. The fruit ripens 
only a week later than Earliana and the plants produce enormous crops 
of beautiful, smooth, high colored fruit, practically all of which ripen 
before the vines are killed by frost. 
The tomatoes are of good size, only slightly smaller than Improved 
John Baer, smooth as an apple and a deep scarlet color which extends 
right up to the stem without any green tinge. There is no finer strain 
of Bonny Best than the seed we offer, no matter what price is charged.

STOKESDALE (New.) Prolific, Medium Early. We have been 
_1 much impressed with this new tomato which is 
becoming very popular wherever grown. The fruit is of medium size, 
deep globe in shape, very smooth and seems to have very little cracking. 
They are very solid, and an excellent deep red color throughout. The 
vines are strong and very prolific. In season Stokesdale ripens about 
with Bonny Best, Because of its fine quality and heavy yield we believe 
it will have a place for the home garden as well as market, shipping 
and canning. 
We are pleased to offer for the first time this year, New York Certi¬ 
fied Seed of this variety. This seed was grown on our own farm and 
carefully rogued to meet the requirements of the inspectors for N. Y. j 
State Certification.
