HARRIS’ VEGETABLE 
PLANTS AND ROOTS 
Please Read Before Ordering 
ORDER EARLY—AIl kinds of plants, nursery stock, etc. may be ordered 
with your seeds or separately and we will ship when ready, or at the 
proper time for your section. If wanted on specific dates, we will do 
our best, but remember that growing plants depend a lot on the 
weather and they are not always ready just when needed. So if they 
should be late, please be assured we are doing all we can for you. 
YOUR SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS, such as dates wanted or different ad- 
dresses for plants should be clearly indicated on the order sheet right 
next to those items, so we will be sure to notice them. 
OUR SHIPPING AREA. for all plants and nursery stock is strictly limited 
to places east of the Mississippi and north of Virginia. We cannot ship 
plants into Canada. 
TRANSPORTATION CHARGES are postpaid in above area unless other- 
wise indicated. Where quoted ‘“‘not paid,’’ they are usually sent 
express collect, so please be sure to give us your nearest express office. 
If wanted by mail, send extra postage with your order at zone rates. 
(Your Post Office will furnish these.) 
No C.O.D.’s—Plants and nursery stock will not be sent C.O.D. 
HARRIS’ PLANT GUARANTEE: We guarantee arrival of our plants and 
nursery stock in good condition, provided we are notified of any loss or 
difficulty within 10 days. Adjustments or replacements will then be 
made promptly. We cannot be responsible for the plants living after 
they are set out because your planting conditions, soil and weather 
are beyond our control.

MELON PLANTS —Muskmelon and Watermelon 
Potted Plants: Generally available about June 5th and later. (We do not 
recommend setting out melon plants until the weather is really warm 
as they are severely checked by cold nights.) 
All our Muskmelon and Watermelon plants are now grown and shipped 
in 2/4 x 3 in. plant bands, that hold plenty of soil to give a strong root 
system and promote healthy growth. The plants are stocky and husky 
and are not checked in transplanting. In most soils, it is better to 
remove the bands in setting out, but many growers get good results by 
leaving them on. 
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, or six muskmelons with six watermelons.
