Spinach Seed for 1942 
Again this year there is a very distinct shortage of spinach seed. With all imports still cut off 
and practically no hold over, it has been necessary to depend on American grown seed. Unfor- 
tunately, although a large acreage was planted for seed, the crops were not good because of weather 
conditions. 
We have seed of the varieties listed below which we can supply to our customers in reasonable 
amounts as long as the supply lasts. 
We suggest that spinach growers plan their acreage carefully and place their orders as early 
as possible. We also think it good practice to try sowing seed a little thinner, and give it better care. 
Be sure to treat your spinach seed with Red Copper Oxide (Cuprocide) before sowing. See page 48.

BLIGHT RESISTANT SAVOY-LEAF. For Fall Crop........... $ .75 $7.00 $16.75 $32.50 
We have an exceptionally fine stock of this variety. It is the true Virginia 
strain which is practically 100% resistant to blight and can be depended on 
to produce large crops of fine dark well crumpled spinach in the fall where 
other varieties blight and fail entirely. 
Blight Resistant Savoy does not stand as well as most other kinds in the 
spring, although our strain will stand three to four days longer than most.

This spinach will stand longer than any other kind. The leaves are very 
dark green, quite thick and have small stems. On this account and because 
of the heavy yield this is one of the best varieties for canning. True stock.

Harris’ New York State Certified Tomato Seed 
For seven successive years we have offered New York State Certified Tomato seed of our 
own growing. This seed must meet the highest standard of purity and freedom from disease. 
Most of the tomato seed sold today is a by-product from fruit which has been processed in 
canning factories for the juice. Our Certified Tomato Seed is all grown on our own farms for seed 
only. Our seed crops are grown 100% from hot water treated stock seed and the seed is all saved 
by the fermentation process; reducing seed borne diseases such as early blight to a minimum. 
Pan American 
A valuable new Marglobe type. 
Developed by the United States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture as a Marglobe type with 
complete resistance to fusarium wilt, this fine 
new variety proved highly promising this past 
year. The fruit carry the fine deep globe shape 
of Marglobe, but are of larger size and so very 
uniform that we found practically no small 
tomatoes on the vines even late in the season. 
They are of fine quality, bright scarlet in color 
and ripen evenly to the stem. The flesh is 
solid, meaty and exceptionally firm. 
Pan American is a main crop variety, 
ripening with us at about the same season as 
Marglobe and Rutgers. The large robust 
plants carry enormous yields of fine fruit. 
Growers of tomatoes for market and green 
pack will be delighted with the large size and 
fine shape of Pan American. Try some this 
year.
