“T just want to tell you what wonderful luck we have had with your 
Valiant tomatoes. We tried them out last year and liked them so well we set 
three times as many this year. Customers will give 5c more a basket for them 
than they will others.”

867 JOHN BAER, !mproved Strain. Heavy Yielding. One of 
the most reliable sorts for canning, home 
garden and market. Ours is the Geneva strain which produces immense 
crops of smooth, handsome fruit larger than most strains of this variety. 
The fruit is solid, deep red all through, and produced in great clusters. 
It is early enough to ripen the whole crop before frost in a normal 
season. 
We find by carefully conducted trials and reports of critical growers 
that our strain of John Baer is fully equal to any stock of this variety 
obtainable and far superior to most of them.

850 BONNY BEST. This fine early variety has long been one of the most 
popular of all tomatoes for home use and market. The fruit ripens fairly 
early, about in season with John Baer and the plants produce enormous 
crops of smooth, high colored fruit, practically all of which ripen before 
the vines are killed by frost. 
The tomatoes are of good size, smooth and of deep scarlet color 
which extends right up to the stem without any green tinge. There is no 
finer strain of Bonny Best than the seed we offer, no matter what price 
is charged.

Trellis Growing. Our strain is 
a great favorite around Boston 
and other sections in the East 
where trellis tomatoes are ex- 
tensively grown. The fruit is 
smooth, bright red and just the 
ideal size for individual salads. 
This stock has been found with- 
out superior for both greenhouse 
and growing outside on trellises 
or stakes. The seed was saved 
from carefully selected plants.

Harris’ New York State Certified 
Tomato Seed 
Our Certified Tomato Seed is grown on our own farms in 
comparatively small fields that have our careful individual attention. 
For years we have made a specialty of raising tomato seed of the 
best possible quality from pedigreed stocks on our own farm here 
in the North. More than ten years ago we pioneered in producing 
the first crops of New York State Certified tomato seed to be 
grown. 
Again this year our tomato seed crops have been inspected by 
representatives of the New York Seed Improvement Cooperative 
Association, which is by law the official seed certifying agency in 
this State, and have fully passed their very strict requirements for 
trueness to type, purity of variety and freedom from disease. 
The standards for New York are higher than those of any other 
state, and there is no better tomato seed than ours to be bought, 
no matter what price is charged.

———________ fine solid tomatoes ripen at the very beginning of 
the season with this outstanding extra early variety. The tomatoes 
are of good quality, large and smooth and they color evenly to a fine 
‘bright red all over. For first early crop, we recommend Victor. See 
photo and further description on page 5.

EARLIANA. We have discontinued this old extra early variety because 
it has now been largely displaced by the newer early types, Victor and 
Valiant. For growers who desire a large vine and big early fruit, we 
recommend Valiant described on page 6. 

Stokesdale—sSmooth round solid tomatoes of excellent quality. 
888 STOKESDALE. arly, Tremendous Bearer of Fine To- 
matoes. An exceptionally fine new variety 
which is ideally suited for home use, market and canning in Northern 
sections. It ripens at the same time as John Baer and bears astonishing 
crops of perfectly even smooth globe-shaped fruit. 
The tomatoes are of medium size, smooth as an apple and the deep 
round shape is ideal for slicing. They are firm, bright scarlet in color 
throughout, with no green tinge around the stem. This variety is 
outstanding for the absolute uniformity of the fruit. 
Because of its fine quality and heavy yields, Stokesdale is now 
widely grown by commercial canners, and growers everywhere are 
delighted with the high percentage of perfect number one tomatoes. 
Our strain is the best obtainable and we are proud to offer N. Y. State 
Certified seed of our own growing. Pkt. 15c; 144 Oz. 40c; Oz. 75c;
