This is Moreton Farm, the home of Harris’ Seeds. All our operations are concentrated here on the same farm where Joseph Harris first 
started growing seeds nearly seventy years ago; and since that time the offices, greenhouses, cleaning mills, seed driers and storehouses you 
see above have grown up around his original farm buildings. We of the Harris family have always felt that by keeping our organization 
sompact we could supply better seeds and better service to our customers. And we are gratified to find that more market and home gardeners 
sach year are relying on Harris’ Seeds. 
On this farm and others nearby, we grow many of our own veg- 
stable and flower seed crops. They must all be carefully isolated to 
prevent crossing between varieties, yet they are close enough for 
heir growth to be watched almost daily. During recent years, we 
rave done more breeding and experimental work here than ever 
yefore. We are constantly seeking still better varieties and hybrids, 
while we keep up and improve the special strains for which we have 
yeen famous for many years 

Here, too, are our extensive trial grounds where new and old 
varieties of every kind are tested, even the grasses and lawn seed

mixtures. Field corn, grain crops and hay mixtures are included in 
our rotations, keeping us up-to-date with the latest developments. 
When our flower seed crops are in bloom, many visitors are attracted 
by the beautiful display, particularly of delphiniums and lupins, 
petunias and snapdragons. 
In this catalog we have tried to pass on to you the results of our 
work and the observations we have made here on our farm, beliey- 
ing that in this way we can help you to grow better crops. The con- 
fidence our customers place in us year after year seems to justify our 
efforts and we look forward to welcoming many new friends in 1949.
