’ 
When we describe a variety as ‘“‘Harris’ Special Strain,’ 
it is an assurance of real benefits to the grower. It 
means that to the outstanding features of an old 
established variety, we have added extra advantages 
that make it better than ever. 
These special strains are developed by the closest 
observation and most critical selection. Our plant 
breeding experts examine practically every plant in 
the seed crops on our farm to select the finest examples 
of each variety and thus keep the strain up to our 
exacting standards. At the same time, they carry on 
many other promising lines, constantly selecting the 
best of them, so that now and then one is refined to the 
point where it is even better than our present strain 
and can replace it. 
The Special Strains you see on this page are examples 
of the results of our work. Every one is a widely popular 
variety and many seedsmen offer them, but only from 
us can you get the extra advantages of bigger yields and 
better crops that Harris’ Northern-Grown Special 
Strains will give you.

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.
