Harris’ Certified Seed Potatoes 
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 N. Y. State Certified, U. S. No. 1 potatoes grown from 
clean high yielding stock seed. 
We prepay transportation charges on potatoes to places in the United 
States where quoted “transportation paid.’’ On larger quantities where 
quoted “‘not paid,” purchaser is to pay transportation. 
Please write for prices on larger lots than are listed here. 
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 will be sent at half the bushel price. We can send only 
one variety in a sack. 
NOTE: A sack now contains 100 Ibs. A bushel weighs 60 lbs. 
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. 5 Lbs. 95c; 15 Lbs. (Pk.) $2.00 
transportation paid. Not paid: Bu. $3.50; Sack of 100 Lbs. $5.25. 
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. 5 Lbs. 95c; 15 Lbs. (Pk.) $2.00 
transportation paid. Not paid: Bu. $3.50; Sack of 100 Lbs. $5.25. 
KATAHDIN 
Outstanding New Main Cropper 
This new potato has become established as a fine late or main crop 
variety, maturing a little later than Green Mountain but before the 
Rural Russet. 
The tubers are white skinned, handsome in appearance, and have 
shallow eyes. This variety has been outstanding in the large percentage 
of good marketable potatoes it produces. Does best on light upland soil 
or muck land. 
N. Y. State Certified, U. S. No. 1. 5 Lbs. 90c; 15 Lbs. (Pk.) $1.90 
transportation paid. Not paid: Bu. $3.00; Sack of 100 Lbs. $4.50. 

“I find your seeds the most dependable of any I know. TI have unhesitatingly 
recommended them to many of my acquaintances.” 
T. S. Sparrow, Munnsville, N. Y., March 18, 1942. 
“There is none better in the whole U. S. than Harris Seed Co.” 
Mrs. T. Weber, Berwyn, Ill., Jan. 7, 1942. 

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. 5 Lbs. 90c; 15 Lbs. (Pk.) $1.90 
transportation paid. Not paid: Bu. $3.00; Sack of 100 Lbs. $4.50. 
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. 5 Lbs. 90c; 15 Lbs. (Pk.) $1.90 
transportation paid. Not paid: Bu. $3.00; Sack of 100 Lbs. $4.50.
