FIELD OF HARRIS’ DETROIT DARK RED BEET SEED 
This is the fine crop we grew last summer. For over 30 years we have grown 
and selected this magnificent strain of beets here on Moreton Farm. See page 5. 
Seeds to Grow the Nation’s Food 
Wartime conditions have created a tre- 
mendous demand for vegetable seeds, and 
we are proud to serve the nation by helping 
to supply these needs. For many years it has 
been our policy, and now it is our duty to 
provide our customers with the best seeds 
that can be bought. 
On our own farms we have had such 
fine weather this fall that our seed crops of 
beans, corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, 
peppers and melons have given us beautiful 
seed of high germination. Earlier this sum- 
mer we harvested our beet and parsnip 
crops and never had better seeds. We are 
especially pleased to have these results, as 
we are told that many seed crops in the West 
have been short and of inferior quality. 
The government requirements of vege- 
table seeds under the Lend Lease Bill are 
enormous, especially of carrots, beets, on- 
ions and parsnips. It is generally concluded 
that there will be no surplus of any seeds 
this year. 
As soon as you are able to plan your 
crops we advise you to send in your order 
so you may be. sure to get the seeds you 
want and have them on hand when you are 
ready to sow them. Nothing is so provok- 
ing as to have your land ready and then have 
to wait for your seeds. 
We expect to fill our orders with our 
usual promptness, but the railroads are over- 
crowded and freight shipments are often 
delayed, so to avoid the expense of having 
them sent by express, please allow plenty of 
time between the date of your order and the 
time you wish to sow the seeds. We urge 
you to order as early as possible. 
EVERY LOT OF SEED IS TESTED! 
The germination is plainly marked on every package of seed we sell. Use this guide when 
sowing to get good stands.
