“Garden Huckleberry” 
Not a true Huckleberry, but a member of the 
same family as tomatoes and peppers. The fruit 
is deep purple, nearly black, round and only a 
little smaller than a Concord grape. When cooked 
with sugar and lemon, etc., they are considered 
very good “‘pie timber.” 
The plants grow three feet high and are coy- 
ered with clusters of fruit. The fruit ripens in 
September but is considered best after a hard 
frost. Culture is the same as tomatoes.

Fennel—Has an “anise” flavor. 
Fennel or Finocchio 
This is quite distinct from the common sweet 
fennel used for flavoring. It produces a large 
bulb at the surface of the ground which makes an 
excellent vegetable with a pleasing anise-like 
flavor. It is very largely used in Italy and by 
Italians in this country. 
Sow the seed in rows 20 inches to 2 feet apart 
and thin or transplant so the plants stand 6 to 8 
inches apart in the rows. Sow in rich soil in May 
or June, and again a month later for fall use. 
When the plants are half grown, drag earth up to 
them so as to blanch the bulbs. 
FLORENCE. The most widely grown variety. 
Produces large, firm round bulbs of the most 
uniform size and type. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 44 Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50. 
“Our season is always short, but we always 
have a fine garden by using the seeds you have 
developed for the North. They are so far superior 
to other seeds and give amazing results.” 
Mrs. Genevieve Gilbertson, Herbster, Wisc. 
June 12, 1942. 
Leek 
Leek is a kind of onion that does not form any 
bulb, but grows in a long thick stem, which is 
blanched by drawing earth around it. When 
blanched it makes an appetizing salad, or can be 
eaten like green onions. Boiled they are more 
delicate in flavor than the mildest onions. The 
seed is sown in the spring and the leek is ready to 
use in the fall. If given a little protection with 
dirt it will last over winter and give a very 
welcome addition to the early spring menu. 
American Flag or Giant Musselburg. This 
is the standard variety with large stalks, hav- 
ing the white part extended well up the stalk. 
Pkt. 15c; % Oz. 40c; Oz. 75c. 
HARRIS’ SEEDS—1943 
dry in a shady place. 


Garden Huckleberry 
Garlic 
Used for flavoring. The bulbs should be separated into “cloves” or 
flakes and set out like onion sets about 4 inches apart in the row, and 
covered 2 inches deep. When the tops die down take up the bulbs and 
Bulbs only. 14 Lb. 20c; Lb. 45c; 5 Lbs. $1.75 transportation paid. 
Horse Radish 
Horse-radish is easily grown from sets (small lengths of roots) which 
when planted in the spring in good rich soil, form large roots by fall. Sets 
should be planted with the small end down and the top 2 in. below the 
surface in rows 3 ft. apart and 15 to 20 in. apart in the rows. 
We offer excellent sets of the New Bohemian variety Maliner-Kren 
which is considered superior to common horse-radish.

Dwarf Curled Kale—Fine for winter greens. 
Kale or Borecole 
Kale is used as “‘greens’’ during the winter and 
early spring. The young and tender shoots that 
come out on the stalks make delicate greens. 
They are better after a few frosts in the fall. With 
a little protection, or when the snow is deep, 
kale will stand the winter without injury. It is 
grown in the same way as cabbage but for win- 
ter use the seed may be sown as late as July. Kale 
may also be grown without transplanting. Sow 
in May or June in rows 18 in. to 2 ft. apart and 
thin to 12-15 in. in the row. 
DWARF CURLED or Blue Scotch. We have 
an excellent and very even stock of this low 
growing, spreading variety which is the one 
most commonly grown. The leaves are large, 
finely curled, of a deep bluish-green color and 
excellent quality. Often used for garnishing. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 144 Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.25. 
SIBERIAN. Also called ‘‘Sprouts.’’ A very 
hardy kale of dwarf growth with broad thick 
leaves curled on the edges. Used largely for 
wintering over. The color is light bluish-green. 
Our strain is uniform and true. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 144 Lb. 65c; Lb. $2.00. 

American Flag Leek—Every garden should have a row. 
a 

Kohl PebiMeay White Vienna 
Kohl Rabi 
A packet will sow 40 feet of row; an ounce 200 feet. 
Kohl Rabi produces a large bulb on the stem 
which is used as a vegetable and also for stock 
feeding. If used while young, the bulb makes a 
delicious vegetable. An excellent way to cook it is 
to cut the bulbs into small cubes and boil until 
tender. Serve with a clear butter or cream sauce. 
The seed may be sown up to July in rows about 
18 inches apart, and the plants thinned 6 to 8 
inches apart in the rows. The seed may also be 
sown late in April or even May for an early 
summer crop. 
EARLY WHITE VIENNA. The bulbs are ready 
to use when they are the size of a small apple; 
the quality is good, being tender and of deli- 
cate flavor. Very uniform and finely bred stock. 
Pkt. 15c¢; Oz. 50c; 14 Lb. $1.50; Lb. $5.00. 

“T first bought Harris’ seeds about 1887 and 
have grown them every year since and have 
always found them dependable and have recom- 
mended them to my gardening friends.”
