Harris’ New York State Certified Tomato Seed 
For nine 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 the 
special purpose of obtaining the very best possible seed. 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. 
2 890 Victor 
The 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. 
The tomatoes are of good size, 
smooth and solid. Having a character- 
istic light color when green, they turn 
quickly toa brilliant scarlet color allover. 
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 recommended) and thus have 
more early fruit per acre. If you want 
extra early tomatoes, grow Victor.

own growing. Crop short. See prices on 
Valiant—Big early yields of fine tomatoes. next page. 
889 Valiant—Very Early—Large Fruit 
This new variety has now taken the place of the old Earliana in many sections. It ripens a 
few days later but has so much larger and finer fruit that this difference is usually not important. 
The fruit is smooth, deep, nearly round in shape and of good interior structure; it colors up much 
better than Earliana, and the early yields are very heavy. 
The vines are of spreading habit of growth and do best when well fertilized and grown on 
fairly heavy soil. Valiant has already proved to be a most popular and profitable variety for early 
market. See prices on next page. 
867 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 variety. 
It is very smooth and deep red throughout, 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 market and canning.

888 Stokesdale 
Heavy Yielding Medium Early Type 
Ripening at the same time as John Baer, 
this excellent variety has proved to be well 
adapted for market, shipping and canning. 
The fruit is medium sized, with a very uniform 
smooth, deep globe shape, bright scarlet color 
and fine quality. The fruit ripens evenly and 
is very free of cracks and blemishes. 
The yields are extremely heavy and the 
vines are strong and vigorous, making it one 
of the most dependable kinds to grow. Our 
strain is by far the best obtainable and we 
offer only N. Y. State Certified Seed of our remeliia 
own growing. See prices on next page. Stokesdale—sSmooth, round and uniform.
