Harris’ Seed Potatoes ss 
Everyone knows the importance of using seed potatoes that are free 
from the diseases that are transmitted by the seed. Diseases such as 
mosaic, leaf roll, wilt, etc., may not be very apparent but they reduce the 
yield to a marked degree. The only way to raise potatoes at a profit is to 
plant seed free from these diseases. It will pay you well to discard your 
old seed and plant only clean seed. 
We offer U. S. No. 1 potatoes grown from clean high yielding stock seed. 
PLEASE READ: Prices here given are for the potatoes care- 
fully put up for shipment and delivered to 
freight house or express office, but the purchaser is to pay transportation. 
Please write for prices on larger lots than are listed here. 
By Parcel Post. Potatoes can be sent by parcel post if the amount to 
cover the necessary postage is added to the price. A peck weighs 15 lbs. 
and a bushel 60 lbs. See inside front cover. 
Shipping Season. I[t is usually not safe to ship potatoes from here by 
freight until about April Ist. If our customers wish us to ship earlier 
we will do so, but we will not hold ourselves responsible for loss by 
freezing if the potatoes are ordered sent earlier than in our judgment 
it is safe to ship them. 
Half bushels and half pecks will be sent at half the bushel and peck 
price. We can send only one variety in a sack. 
NOTE: A sack now contains 100 Ibs. 
CHIPPEWA 
Early, Fine Appearance 
This new potato is now recognized as the outstanding early variety and 
it has become very popular because of the high yield of fine No. 1 potatoes 
which command a premium in markets wherever sold. It is only a few 
days later than Cobbler and has exceeded that variety in the production 
of No. 1 stock. 
The tubers are attractive, being white, slightly flattened and with 
shallow eyes. They are remarkably uniform for size. This new variety is 
well worth while. 
N. Y. State Certified, U. S. No. 1. Peck $1.00; Bu. $3.10; Sack of 
100 lbs. $4.60. Purchaser pays transportation. 
WARBA 
New Extra Early 
This new potato which was introduced by the Minnesota Experiment 
Station is 10 days earlier than Irish Cobbler. Comparative tests have 
shown the yield also to be better. The vines are sturdy, upright and 
remarkably resistant to disease, especially mosaic. 
The handsome, and distinctive tubers are round and blocky with a 
smooth white skin and a light pink eye. They resemble Cobbler except 
for the pink eye. The flesh is white and of excellent quality. 
This new variety has become a leading early kind both for home use 
and market. Crop short. 
U. S. No. 1. Peck $1.00; Bu. $3.10. Purchaser pays transportation. 
IRISH COBBLER 
This is the most largely planted early potato and still considered one of 
the best in this class. It yields better than any other kind (except Warba) 
that is equally early. The potatoes are round, white, have rather deep 
eyes, of fine quality and very early. The seed we offer is true to name. 
N. Y. State Certified, U. S. No. 1. Peck 90c; Bu. $2.75; Sack of 
100 Ibs. $4.15. Purchaser pays transportation. 

“Your potatoes last year were the best I ever planted.”’ (Irish Cobbler). 
Marl C. Grugel, Mt. Hope, Ohio, March 26, 1941. 
“Would it be of interest to you to know we have bought seed from Joseph 
Harris Co. 50 years, and my husband’s father sent years before we were 
married, and my son, C. C. Campbell gets from you now. 
I wish to say during all these years not one bit of seed has been bad. It 
has been the best.” 
Mrs. Frank Campbell, Wellsburg, N. Y., Feb. 19, 1941. 


Golden Rural Potatoes 
GOLDEN RURAL or RURAL RUSSET 
Heaviest Yielding Kind 
We are convinced that this variety will produce larger crops than any 
other kind where conditions of soil and climate suit it, as they do here 
and in a large part of the northern states. 
The vines are strong, vigorous and healthy with dark green leaves and 
thick purple stems. They do not usually blight. The potatoes are round, 
flattened, quite shallow and the slightly russet skin is very rarely affected 
with scab. The flesh is pure white, very firm and of fine quality. Each 
hill usually has 7 to 9 good sized potatoes. 
N. Y. State Certified, U. S. No. 1. Peck 90c; Bu. $2.75; Sack of 
100 Ibs. $4.15. Purchaser pays transportation. 
GREEN MOUNTAIN 
Grow for Fine Quality 
If you want nice mealy white potatoes of the finest quality, raise Green 
Mountains. They are far superior to most of the kinds usually grown. 
The tubers are round, slightly flattened, and have few shallow eyes. The 
skin is white with the slight netting which usually goes with fine quality. 
This is a medium early variety and yields heavy crops on soil suited to 
it. It does best on rather light or gravelly soil and in the northern localities 
although it is largely grown and produces great crops on Long Island. 
An excellent kind for New York and all of New England. 
N. Y. State Certified, U. S. No. 1. Peck 90c; Bu. $2.75; Sack of 
100 Ibs. $4.15. Purchaser pays transportation. 
“T have always received best results from Harris seeds. Varieties are all 
superior to those ordinarily sold.” 
Vernon E. Watkins, Boston, N. Y., April 17, 1941.
