HARRIS’ VEGETABLE PLANTS AND ROOTS 
Please Read Before Ordering 
Ordering Plants: Plants and nursery stock may be ordered anytime, 
either with your seed order or separately. We will ship as soon as ready 
or at the proper time to set out. Early orders are given preference in 
shipping so we suggest you let us know your requirements just as early 
as possible. 
If plants are wanted on specific dates, we will do our best to meet 
them. In growing and handling plants we are dependent on weather and 
other factors we can’t control, so if you do not get them just on time, 
please be sure we are doing everything we can to get them shipped to 
you. 
Special Instructions: /f you have any special instructions, such as 
dates or different addresses for plants, please order them separately and 
mark the instructions clearly on that part of your order sheet. 
Shipping Area: We can ship plants and nursery stock only east of 
the Mississippi and north of Virginia, because of state quarantine 
regulations and shipping difficulties. We cannot ship plants into 
Canada. 
Shipping Charges: We pay postage or express in this shipping area 
on all items, except where quoted ‘“‘Not paid.’ Plants quoted “not 
paid” are usually sent by express collect. Please give your nearest 
express office. If you want them by mail, send extra postage with your 
order. See rates on inside front cover. 
No C.0O.D.’s—Plants, nursery stock, etc., will not be sent 
c.0O.D. 
Arrival in good condition guaranteed: Our plants are carefully 
packed and shipped promptly but if they are delayed on the road, or if 
for any other reason they do not arrive in good condition, please notify 
us at once and replacement or proper adjustment will be made. We can- 
not be responsible for plants living after they are set out as that de- 
pends on planting conditions, soil and weather, over which we have no 
control. Prompt notification will help us serve you better. 
PARCEL POST SPECIAL HANDLING for Vegetable Plants 
Plant shipments marked ‘‘Special Handling’’ are usually sent 
through more quickly by the Post Office. An extra fee must be paid 
for each shipment to go by this method, so if your plants are to be 
shipped at different times be sure to include enough extra postage 
for each mailing. 
The extra amounts to be paid are approximately as follows: 
Vegetable plants, except potted plants; 1 or 2 doz. 15c extra; 50 or 
100 plants, 20c. Potted plants, 25c for any quantity on which we 
pay transportation. (Above rates apply on vegetable plants only, 
and not on other plants, roots, etc., or nursery stock listed below.) 

VEGETABLE PLANTS 
BROCCOLI 
Early Transplanted Plants. Ready about April 25th to May 15th. 
These are carefully grown in our greenhouses and are valuable for 
getting early crops of Broccoli. Italian Green Sprouting only. 
Doz. 55c; 2 Doz. 90c; 100 for $3.00 postpaid. 
CABBAGE 
Early Transplanted Plants. Ready about April 15 to May 15. We 
sow the seed for these plants very early in the greenhouse, and trans- 
plant them carefully. When large enough they are set out in the cold 
frames to harden them so that they will stand considerable frost. We 
offer only Golden Acre Special, the finest early cabbage. 
Doz. 50c; 2 Doz. 85c; 100 for $2.75, postpaid. Not paid: 500 for $6.50, 
1000 for $12.00. (Weight 500—14 lbs., 1,000—25 lbs.) 
CAULIFLOWER 
Early Transplanted Plants. Ready about April 25 to May 15. These 
are started in the greenhouse like the early cabbage, and are also 
transplanted carefully. Cauliflower plants, however, are only slightly 
hardened to make them ship well, but not so much as to check the 
growth. Snowball, Perfected Strain only, by far the best variety. 
Doz. 55c; 2 Doz. 90c; 100 for $3.00 postpaid. Not paid: 500 for $8.00; 
1000 for $15.00. (Weight 500—14 lbs., 1,000—25 lbs.) 
CELERY 
Greenhouse Grown Plants. Ready about May 1st to May 20th. 
Sturdy plants started early in the greenhouse, and transplanted to 
make an even, vigorous growth. Cornell 19 (yellow) and Summer 
Pascal (green). 50 for $1.40; 100 for $2.50 postpaid. 

Pepper plants growing in one of our new greenhouses. 
EGG PLANT 
Potted Plants. Generally available about May 20th and fater. As 
these plants are easily injured in transplanting we raise them in No. 
214 Fertile Pots (see page 83) and ship them pot and all, ready to be 
set directly in the garden. Black Beauty only. (We cannot supply 
less than 12 plants.) 
Doz. $1.80; 2 Doz. $3.35; 50 for $6.00 postpaid. Not paid: 100 for 
$9.00. (Weight 100—50 lbs.) 
MUSKMELON PLANTS 
Potted Plants. Generally available about June 5th and later. (We 
do not recommend setting out melons until the weather is really 
warm, as they are severely checked by cold nights.) 
Stocky plants, grown in our No. 2% Fertile Pots, and shipped, 
pot and all, in our special cartons. When you receive them, the pots 
are soft and resemble earth and are ready to be set right out in the 
garden, so that the plants are not checked. 
Note: Our melon plant cartons hold just twelve (12) plants, so we 
cannot send less than one dozen. We can send six of one variety and 
six of another. 
Varieties: Delicious, Iroquois, Bender’s Surprise. 
Doz. $1.75; 2 Doz. (1 or 2 varieties) $3.25; 50 for $5.75 prepaid. Not 
paid: 100 for $8.50. (Weight 100—50 lbs.) Not sent beyond the 4th Zone. 
WATERMELON PLANTS 
Potted Plants. Generally available about June 5th and later. (These 
plants do not grow well until the weather is warm, so we do not ship 
them early.) 
These plants are grown in 214 in. Plant Bands, which we have 
found the best for watermelons. They contain more soil, giving a 
larger root system and a better growth. The bands may be removed 
or not in setting out—either way they are very successful. 
Note: Our watermelon cartons hold just ten (10) plants, so we can 
ship only in multiples of ten. (Weight 100—75 lbs.) 
Honey Cream: 10 plants $1.70; 20 plants $3.15; 50 plants $6.50 
postpaid. Not paid: 100 for $10.00. Not sent beyond the 4th zone. 
Northiand Hybrid: 10 plants $2.10; 20 plants $3.80; 50 plants $7.75 
postpaid. Not paid: 100 for $12.50. Not sent beyond the 4th zone.

able April 10th to May 15th. Sold on the basis of bunches only. 
Please see full information on page 29 and inside back cover.
