Every Package of HARRIS’ SEED is marked With the GERMINATION TEST 
For thirty-five consecutive years we have given our customers this service. Certain state laws, and Federal regulations require 
the test on some seeds and under some conditions. However, we believe that the grower has a right to know the vitality of all 
the seeds he buys, so we put the test on every package of seed we send out, whether it be a packet of flower seed or a hundred 
pound bag of spinach seed. Look for the germination test and sow your seed accordingly for best results.
