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 fourteen 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. 
858 Early Hybrid (New) 
(Earliana x Valiant) Extra Early—Big Yielder 
For the very first early tomatoes, this hybrid 
has proved very successful when given good 
fertility and ample moisture. It produces more 
fruit and earlier than other kinds and they are 
smooth, round and attractive. Although small 
under some conditions, the size is satisfactory 
when well grown, and the color and quality are 
good. 
Harris’ Early Hybrid is still the earliest good 
variety or hybrid we know and will out-yield 
anything in its class. Seed saved only from 
hand-pollinated fruit grown on our own farms.

857 Early Wonder (New) 
Tomato growers who have grown Victor suc- 
cessfully will do well to try this variety of the 
same type. The plants are compact but have 
more vigor and better foliage and with us the 
yields are even heavier. It is just as early and 
the fruit are slightly larger and smoother. 
In our opinion, it is a considerable improvement 
on Victor and a worthwhile new extra early 
variety. Seed of our own growing. See prices on 
page 33. 
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. 
- STOKESDALE—Handsome round red fruit. 
VALIANT—The finest early tomato. 
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. 
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. 
888 Stokesdale 
Heavy Yielding Medium Early Type 
For dependable production of fine smooth fruit 
under many conditions, Stokesdale is one of the 
best in the second early class. The fruit are 
medium sized, with a uniform smooth, deep 
globe shape, bright scarlet color and fine qual- 
ity. It ripens evenly and is relatively free of 
cracks and blemishes. 
With us, Stokesdale has proved a consist- 
ently heavy yielder. It is an all-purpose variety, 
adapted for market, shipping and canning. We 
offer only N. Y. State Certified Seed of our own 
growing. See prices on page 33.
