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 inspections for 
certification must be vigorous, virtually free 
from disease and absolutely true to type; and 
we are proud that for thirteen 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 
More widely grown every year, Valiant is the 
leading early tomato in most sections. Our 
strain is the finest to be had, very early, yet 
the fruit are smooth, with a deep round shape 
and a solid, meaty interior. These tomatoes 
are large for this season, firm, very uniform 
and they color up well. The quality is so fine 
that they are used even later in the season 
when the midseason varieties are ripe. 
The vines have an open spreading habit of 
growth and do best when well fertilized and 
grown on fairly heavy soil. The early yields 
are heavy and these big well-colored fruit sell 
easily at the best prices. N.Y. State Certified Seed 
of our own growing. See prices on page 33. 

VALIANT—Big handsome tomatoes early in the season. 
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. It 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.

EARLY HYBRID 
The yields are astonishing. 
858 Early Hybrid (New) 
(Earliana x Valiant) Extra Early—Big Yielder 
For the very first early tomatoes, this new 
hybrid has proved most successful especially 
when given good fertility and ample moisture. 
It produces more fruit and earlier than other 
kinds and they are smooth, round and attrac- 
tive. Although small under severe conditions, 
the size is satisfactory when well grown, and 
the color and quality are good. 
Harris’ Early Hybrid is still the best extra 
early variety or hybrid obtainable and will out- 
yield anything in its class. Seed saved only from 
hand- pollinated fruit grown on our own farms. 
See prices on page 33. 
FOR EXTRA EARLINESS, TRY SURE-SET 
Early in the season when cool weather 
normally makes the blossoms fall off, a 
couple of applications of Sure-Set Hormone 
Spray will promote better fruit set, quicker 
ripening. See page 48 for details. 

890 Victor 
Very early in the season, Victor will start to 
ripen large clusters of fine tomatoes. The fruit 
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) 
Compact Vines—Easy Picking 
Gem ripens its first fruit nearly as pane as 
Valiant and close planting 3 <4 or 22% -S71ts) 
gives heavy early yields. The dwarf compact 
vines set several large clusters near the center 
that tend to ripen all at once, making Gem very 
easy to pick. The large smooth round fruit 
hold their size and shape well all season. Grow 
it on moist fertile soil for plenty of leaf coverage.
