Harris’ New York State Certified Tomato Seed 
For seven successive years we have offered New York State Certified Tomato seed of our 
own growing. This seed must meet the highest standard of purity and freedom from disease. 
Most of the tomato seed sold today is a by-product from fruit which has been processed in 
canning factories for the juice. Our Certified Tomato Seed is all grown on our own farms for seed 
only. Our seed crops are grown 100% from hot water treated stock seed and the seed is all saved 
by the fermentation process; reducing seed borne diseases, such as early blight, to a minimum. 
Rutgers 
Harris’ Northern Grown Strain 
Rutgers tomato is now tremen- 
dously popular, and deservedly so, 
for it has proved excellent for both 
canning and market. It is famous for 
the large size and solid structure of 
its fruit, and its fine flavor and deep 
red color all over. The set of fruit is 
heavy making it one of the most 
prolific varieties. 
Our strain has been grown and 
selected here in the North for years 
and has proved to be the best stock 
obtainable.

Harvesting Rutgers Tomatoes on our Farm 
Victor—tThe New Extra Early Tomato 
At the time when the old extra early varieties have but one or two ripe fruits, Victor produces 
large clusters of beautiful tomatoes ripening all at once. With Victor you can market an abundance 
of fine smooth first class tomatoes even earlier than you could the older kinds and get top prices. 
The tomatoes are of good size, smooth and solid. Having a characteristic light color when 
green, they turn quickly to a brilliant scarlet color all over. There are no green spots on Victor. 
_ The vine is a sturdy determinate type, that can be planted close together (2 x 3 ft. is recom- 
mended) and thus have more early fruit per acre. If you want extra early tomatoes, grow Victor.

Pritchard’s Scarlet Topper—Also Called ‘‘Pritchard”’ 
Because of its fine quality and beautiful appearance, this tomato has become one of the most 
popular market varieties. Starting with stock seed sent us by the United States Department of 
Agriculture, we have been growing and selecting the seed here in the North in order to maintain 
the size, vigor and earliness of this variety. 
This is a very heavy bearer. The fruit is medium early, ripening right after Bonny Best. The 
flesh is very solid with few seed cavities and a fine red color all through. It is quite free from crack- 
ing. The quality is extra fine, being mild and without acidity.

fields. 
John Baer—Improved Strain 
The Best Tomato in Its Class 
This is the Geneva strain of John Baer 
and will produce larger fruit and more tons of 
fine tomatoes to the acre than any strain we 
have ever seen. 
The fruit is unusually large for this vari- 
ety. It is very smooth and deep red through- 
out, coloring right up to the stem. The vines 
are vigorous and healthy and produce heavy 
crops. 
We regard this Improved John Baer as 
one of the best medium early tomatoes, and 
can recommend it most highly both for mar- 
ket and canning.
