VEGETABLES OF SPEC/AL MERIT 
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.

, 2 : New Extra Early—Smooth and Solid 
All America Selection for 1941 
This new tomato which was bred by Dr. Yaeger at Michigan State 
College has the rare combination of fine points sought by breeders for 
years, i.e., extra early fruit, borne in great abundance, but so smooth, 
firm, solid and fine colored that it compares with the best later varieties 
in this respect. This variety ripens large clusters of fruit when the other 
extra early kinds have only one or two ripe fruits. The fruits are good size 
(average over 41% oz.) light green when young, changing to a bright red 
all over, smooth and handsome and with no green spots. They are firm 
and solid and of excellent quality. 
The vine is of the sturdy determinate type, which can be planted close 
together (2 x 3 ft. is recommended) thus producing a much larger yield of 
early fruit to the acre. 
This tomato is destined to be a real money maker for the market 
gardener and superb variety for home garden. We were so impressed when 
we first saw this new tomato in the trial grounds at Michigan State 
College that we grew a crop of seed this year. We are pleased to offer seed 
of our own growing.

North Star 
New Extra Early Hybrid Sweet Corn 
This new corn is a product of our own breeding. One parent is an inbred 
of our Extra Early Bantam, the other Connecticut Experiment Station 
inbred No. C 13. 
Maturing but two or three days later than the small extra early kinds, 
this new Harris’ Hybrid produces ears that compare in size, shape and 
fine quality with the superior midseason varieties. Think of having fine 
big ears of corn, of excellent flavor, when your neighbor has only small 
ears of mediocre quality. 
The ears of North Star are twelve rowed and fully seven or more inches 
long. They are produced well up on strong sturdy plants. The stalks grow 
five feet or more tall, and bear an enormous number of fine ears. It is one 
of the best yielders we have ever seen. The kernels are an attractive light 
butter yellow, sweet and tender. Whether you grow for home or market, 
you'll do well to have this new corn.

“T just wanted to tell you how much I think of your seed and service. 
There is none better to be found, and when the Harris Company puts 
their approval on any variety, I know it’s worth a trial. 
I have dealt with you about 8 years now and have never been disap- 
pointed.” Harry G. Freess, Vega, Wash. April 1, 1940.

es Yankee Hybrid—New Summer Squash 
ers Early and Prolific—All America Selection for 1941 
etishie This new Hybrid Straightneck Summer Squash was developed by Dr. 
fine fruit. Lawrence C. Curtis of the Connecticut Agriculture Experimental Sta- 
a tion. It is without equal for the production of early fruit. On our farm 
last summer it not only was earlier by several days and actually pro- 
duced twice as many fruits on the first picking as the next best kind, 
but the total yield was greater. 
The squash are a true straightneck type only slightly roughened and 
with a clear, waxy appearance that makes them very attractive. There 
is no green color even when very young. 
Home gardeners will like this kind and it will prove a most valuable 
variety for the market grower. Pkt. 15e; Oz. 70c; 14 Lb. $1.90.
