Every Package of HARRIS’ SEED is marked With the GERMINATION TEST 
{ 
This is the thirty-second consecutive year we have given our customers this service. Certain state laws, and Federal regula- 
tions require the test on some seeds and under some conditions. However we believe that the grower has a right to know the 
vitality of all the seeds he buys, so we put the test on every package of seed we send out, whether it be a packet of flower 
seed or a hundred pound bag of spinach seed. Look for the germination test and sow your seed accordingly for best results.
