HARRIS’ N.Y. CERTIFIED SEED—HOT WATER TREATED. 
A tomato crop must be just about perfect to meet the requirements 
for New York State Certification. It has to be true to type and variety 
and free from practically all diseases. But every year since 1935, when 
we pioneered in producing the first N. Y. State Certified tomato seed, 
the tomatoes we grow here on our farms have fully passed the tests. 
This means the finest of seed for you; there is no better to be had at 
about 150 plants; an ounce 2000 plants. 
any price. And as an added service—all our Certified Tomato Seed is 
Hot Water Treated to eliminate the possibility of seed-borne disease. 
For most effective control of disease during growth, spray or dust 
thoroughly but lightly every week or ten days starting about July 15th, 
’ Best results are obtained by using alternate sprays of COCS Copper Spray 
and Zerlate, or dust with Copper Rotenone. See page 82. 
Early Hybrid—Tremendous numbers of very early fruit. 
FOR EARLIER TOMATOES spray the early blossoms with Sure-Set 
Hormone. It really works (see p. 81) 4 oz. 85c. 
891 VANCROSS (New.) Early and Vigorous. 
69 days. A new F2 Hybrid developed here on our farm, Vancross ripens 
very early and continues to produce large, smooth, delicious fruit all 
season. These fine tomatoes are set in large clusters on husky vines 
and are meaty and solid. Hot Water Treated Seed. For full details, 
see inside front cover.

889 VALIANT. Very Early, Large Solid Fruit. 
70 days. The best of the early tomatoes—it has the large size, solid fruit 
and superior quality of the later kinds and yet it ripens almost with 
the very earliest. 
These tomatoes grow large, round and smooth and they color well 
up to the stem. The flesh is firm and thick-meated and the flavor and 
sweetness are remarkable. The large, vigorous vines have an open, 
spreading habit and do best on heavier soils of high fertility. 
Growers find Valiant most valuable for early crop and it continues to 
produce fine tomatoes all through the season. We highly recommend it.

Valiant—Heavy early yields and bears well through the season. 
858 EARLY HYBRID. (Earliana x Valiant.) First to Ripen. 
65 days. Big crops are ready to pick before any other good tomato with 
this extra early hybrid, and it continues to bear heavily throughout 
the season. The fruit are of attractive round or oval shape, small to 
medium in size, smooth and well colored. The quality is good—mildly 
acid and of sweet flavor. 
On soils of high fertility with plenty of moisture, it produces aston- 
ishing crops of tomatoes that grow in large clusters on the vigorous 
vines. It is a true F; hybrid, and every seed must be pollinated by 
hand. This makes it expensive to produce but is essential to get the 
maximum earliness, size and yield. Hot Water Treated Seed.

890 VICTOR. Extra Early. 67 days. Victor ripens large clusters of 
firm tomatoes well ahead of most early varieties, and the good sized, 
bright red fruit have often been money makers on the early market. 
The vines are determinate and can be planted close (2x3 ft.) for 
larger yields of early fruit per acre. The tomatoes have firm flesh 
and good flavor. N. Y. Certified Seed—Hot Water Treated. 
Pkt. 15c; 4% Oz. 45c; Oz. 85c; 144 Lb. $2.50. 
857 EARLY WONDER. (New.) Large Early Yields. 
67 days. Everyone who has had good results with Victor should try 
this new variety of the same type; in our opinion, it is a real improve- 
ment. Its plants are compact but more vigorous and have better foliage 
cover. In our crops, the yields have been a good deal heavier, and the 
fruit are larger and smoother. Just as early as Victor, these tomatoes 
ripen evenly in large clusters. The color is a uniform bright red and the 
fiesh is firm and good to eat. Hot Water Treated Seed.

garden and market, our strain produces immense crops of smooth, 
handsome fruit, larger than most strains of this variety. The whole 
crop will ripen before frost in a normal season. 
The fruit is solid, deep red all through, and produced in great 
clusters. John Baer is especially well-liked because of its excellent
