TOMATOES 
An ounce of seed will produce about 2000 plants. 
HARRIS’ NEW YORK STATE CERTIFIED SEED 
New York State Certification requirements are 
higher than those for any other state. A tomato 
crop that passes the critical inspection for 
certification must be vigorous, virtually free 
from disease and absolutely true to type; and 
we are proud that for twelve successive years 
we have offered New York State Certified Seed 
of our own growing. 
As an added protection to our customers, all 
our certified seed is Hot Water Treated, check- 
ing the possibility of disease being carried on 
the seed. For the finest strains and the purest 
seed, grow Harris’ Certified Tomato Seed. 
889 Valiant 
Very Early—Large Fruit 
Our strain of Valiant wins more growers every 
year. It is very early, yet the tomatoes are 
smooth with a deep round shape and a solid 
meaty interior. They are so much larger and 
finer than the other early types that these have 
now been almost entirely displaced. Valiant 
colors up better and has superior quality. 
The vines have an open, spreading habit of 
growth, and do best when well fertilized and 
grown on fairly heavy soil. The yields are 
heavy, and Valiant is highly profitable for 
early market. Our strain is the true early type 
and we offer N. Y. State Certified Seed grown here 
on our farms. See prices on page 33. 

VALIANT—Heavy early yields—fine big tomatoes 
888 Stokesdale 
Heavy Yielding Medium Early Type 
If you want a second early tomato that will pro- 
duce heavy crops of fine smooth fruit under 
almost all conditions, grow Stokesdale. Year 
after year, Stokesdale proves to be the most de- 
pendable variety of all the kinds we produce. The 
fruit is medium sized, with a very uniform 
smooth, deep globe shape, bright scarlet color 
and fine quality. The fruit ripens evenly and is 
very free of cracks and blemishes. 
The yields are extremely heavy and the vines 
make a strong vigorous growth. Stokesdale is an 
all-purpose tomato, excellent for market, ship- 
ping and canning. Our strain is by far the best 
obtainable and we offer only N. Y. State Certified 
Seed of our own growing. See prices on page 33.

GROWING EARLY HYBRID SEED 
Every fruit must be pollinated by hand 
858 Early Hybrid (New) 
(Earliana x Valiant) Extra Early—Big Yielder 
Growers who want the first early tomatoes for 
market should try this new hybrid. Tests and 
crops alike have shown that it produces heavier 
early yields of marketable tomatoes than any 
other variety or hybrid. The medium-sized 
fruit are of attractive round shape, smooth, 
bright red and of good quality. They ripen in 
large clusters on spreading vines. For best 
results, plant Early Hybrid on good fertile soil 
with ample moisture. 
The seed we offer is all saved from hand- 
pollinated fruit, carefully grown here on our 
own farm and they make a true vigorous extra 
early hybrid which we highly recommend. See 
prices on page 33. 


Tomatoes ripen earlier with SURE-SET—See page 48. 
890 Victor 
A variety of great popularity in many sections, 
as it ripens large clusters of fine tomatoes all at 
once and very early in the season. The tomatoes 
are of good size, smooth and solid and ripen to 
bright scarlet all over with no green spots. 
The vines are sturdy, dwarf and compact and 
should be planted close, to get more early fruit 
per acre. N. Y. State Certified Seed of our own 
growing. See prices on page 33. 
860 Gem (New) 
Early Ripening and Easy Picking 
This distinctive new tomato ripens its first 
fruit nearly as early as Valiant and close plant- 
ing (3x 4 or 2x 5 ft.) gives heavy early yields. 
The dwarf vines set several large clusters near 
the center of the plant and these tend to ripen 
all together, making Gem one of the easiest 
tomatoes to pick. 
The fruit are large and smooth and almost 
perfectly round, and they hold their size and 
shape well all season. Gem should be grown on 
moist fertile soil to get sufficient foliage cover- 
age. N. Y. State Certified Seed of our own growing.
