THESE ARE THE MEN WHO BEAT THE BLIGHT 
(Shown harvesting our fine crop of Certified Rutgers Tomatoes) 
While tomato crops all over the east were being 
devastated by the late potato blight, our many 
acres here on Moreton Farm were yielding 
tremendous crops of superb tomatoes, and these 
are the men who saved them. They sprayed 
almost continuously all summer, checked every 
vine for signs of blight and destroyed the few 
on which it appeared, with the result that again 
this year we can offer disease free, N. Y. Certi- 
fied tomato seed of the same high quality that 
we have always furnished our customers in the 
past. 
It is this kind of unceasing effort that keeps 
our seed at the top level of quality that the 
most successful market gardeners and florists 
demand. We are constantly at work, breeding 
and selecting the famous Harris’ Special Strains 
which are now well recognized as the leaders in 
their fields; and every year in our trial grounds, 
we check and compare every variety we sell 
against seed from other sources to make certain 
that the seed we offer will meet the highest 
standards of our customers. 
In this catalog we offer the best of the old 
and well-established varieties and a number of 
newer varieties of real merit, chosen because 
they are worthy of a permanent place. Among 
these you are sure to find the ones which will 
best fill the requirements of your own markets. 
And remember, Harris’ Seeds are ‘‘Grown in 
the North.’’ This means greater vigor, earliness 
and dependability, and these qualities in 
Harris’ Seeds will help to bring you a more 
successful season in 1947. 

ORDER BY MAIL 
It is the easiest and most convenient way to get 
the seeds you want. Mail orders are filled 
promptly and accurately and you can depend 
on getting the best obtainable when you order 
Harris Seeds. In spite of the best service we can 
give you, we still advise ordering early, and 
making allowance for possible delay in shipping. 
EVERY LOT OF SEED IS TESTED 
We make a special point of running careful 
germination tests on every lot of seed we send 
out. We use both germinator tests and also 
actual soil tests planted in the greenhouse. 
In all cases the results are plainly marked on 
every package of seed. Use these tests as a guide 
when planting in order to get good stands. 
PLEASE NOTE: All prices here quoted are subject to change without notice and to our stocks being 
unsold. For prices of seed in quantities less than listed here, please refer to our general catalog.
