HARRIS SEEDS 
1940-Wholesale Price List for Market Gardeners and Florists 
Selecting Imperial 44 Lettuce on Moreton Farm Last Summer 
We grew the slock seed for our 1940 seed crop from these carefully selected fully developed heads. Selection 
under our Eastern conditions will maintain the fine qualities of this new "Iceberg” for the East. 
NORTHERN GROWN SEEDS 
Scientific breeding and careful selection combined with our short growing 
seasons here in the North have produced early, vigorous, high yielding strains of 
vegetables and flowers which have proved much superior to the same kinds raised 
further South. We have been growing vegetable, flower and farm seeds here on 
Moreton Farm for over 6o years. We wish to call attention to: 
Harris’ Special Crosby’s Egyptian and Detroit Dark Red Beets 
Harris’ Ballhead Cabbage 
Northern Cross Sweet Corn (Hybrid) 
Harris’ Perfection Cucumber, and Double Yield Pickle 
Market King, Benders Surprise and Delicious Muskmelons 
Model Parsnips 
Harris’ Famous Early Strains of Peppers (See page 24) 
Blue Hubbard Squash and Quality Squash 
Rutgers and all our other New York State Certified Tomatoes. 
These are but a few of the numerous kinds which we have developed and grow 
for seed here on our own farms, that are described in this catalogue. We are not 
boasting when we say that the use of these and our other Northern Grown seeds 
have contributed a great deal toward the success of many leading Market Gardeners.
