Fisher Tomatoes 
MARG LOBE. Blight Resistant. Main Croper. Our original stock 
seed of this famous tomato was sent to us by the 
United States Department of Agriculture at Washington. We have 
grown and improved this variety on our farm for a number of years, 
until now we have a stock that is unusually good. 
The tomatoes are large, globe shaped, smooth, color perfectly all over 
and are of deep red color all through. The vines are vigorous and resist 
blight well even in very wet weather. The fruit ripens medium late 
coming on just after John Baer and Bonny Best. It is so large, smooth 
and handsome that it is excellent for market, canning or any other 
purpose. See photo on preceding page.

RUTGERS (New.) Extra Large and Solid Fruit. Harris’ Early 
—__—___—_ Strain. This new tomato is outstanding for the large 
size and solid structure of the fruit. This combined with a deep red 
color all over, fine globe shape and excellent flavor have made it a very 
popular variety. See photo and full description on page 6.

“In the past ten years that I have been using your seeds, I haven't 
found any others that equal yours in production. My N. Y. Certified 
Rutger’s Tomatoes were the best tomatoes in the neighborhood. I gave 
away about 5 bu. after canning nearly 100 quarts from 50 plants.” 
Mrs. R. A. Banwart, West Bend, Iowa. Jan. 4, 1940. 
“TI think your seeds are all good but your Rutgers tomatoes beat 
anything I have seen in a good many years. They stay of a large size all 
through the season, and good quality. I gave away a good many plants 
to my neighbors and they all say the same.” 
Geo. H. Brooks, Milldale, Conn. Mar. 27, 1940. 










Improved John Baer 
Typical cluster of this widely used 
canning and market variety. 


FISHER A Marglobe Type. This excellent tomato is closely related 
———— to our strain of Marglobe and has many of its fine characters. 
It is a little earlier; the vines are prolific, strong and sturdy, pro- 
ducing large crops of fruit. The fruits are very uniform, true globe, 
solid, deep scarlet, and of very superior quality, being mild and sweet. 
While not as large as Marglobe the fruits are ideal for whole salads, 
and canning. We haye just eaten some that were canned this summer 
and find them firm and of excellent flavor. We recommend this superior 
kind for the home garden.

REDCAP. (New.) Introduced by the New York State Agriculture Ex- 
periment Station at Geneva. This new tomato has proved to be an 
excellent cropper. The fruits are slightly flattened, smooth and solid. 
They are of mild but excellent flavor, making a superior canned prod- 
uct. The color both inside and out is exceptionally good. Ripens about 
the same time as John Baer.

Nystate Tomatoes 
Firm solid fruit of finest quality. 
NYSTATE. Early, Thick Meated and Heavy Cropper. It was 
originated by the New York State Experimental Station at Geneva 
and has great merit as a home garden and market variety as well as for 
canning. It is unsurpassed for fine flavor and sweetness. 
The skin is smooth and the flesh solid and of a beautiful red color 
which extends right through the fruit. It also has proved to be an 
extremely heavy cropper. The fruit is medium early, ripening about 
the same time as John Baer.

JOHN BAER, !mproved Strain. Heavy Yielding. One of the 
most reliable sorts for canning, home garden and 
market. Ours is the Geneva strain which produces immense crops of 
smooth, handsome fruit larger than most strains of this variety. 
The fruit is solid, deep red all through, and produced in great clusters. 
It is early enough to ripen the whole crop before frost in a normal 
season. 
We find by carefully conducted trials and reports of critical growers 
that our strain of John Baer is fully equal to any stock of this variety 
obtainable and far superior to most of them.

Harris’ New York State Certified 
Tomato Seed 
Our Certified Tomato Seed 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 North. In 1935 we pioneered 
in producing the first crops of New York State Certified 
tomato seed to be grown. 
Again this year our tomato seed crops have been in- 
spected by representatives of the New York Seed Im- 
provement Cooperative Association, which is by law the 
official seed certifying agency in this State, and have fully 
passed their very strict requirements for trueness to 
type, purity of variety and freedom from disease.
