TOMATOE 
861 Fireball (New) 
Highly Promising for First Early Crop 
A brand new tomato developed here on our 
farms especially for growers of the earliest 
outdoor tomatoes. It ripens with us just as 
early as our Early Hybrid and the first blos- 
som clusters are heavily set with firm, 
medium-sized round fruit. The vines are very 
small and open, so we recommend it only for 
early crop. Plant close together, 1 or 2 ft. 
apart, for maximum returns per acre. 
These fruit are of excellent size and type— 
smooth globe-shape, weighing 4 to 5 oz., rip- 
ening from pale green to bright red. They are 
remarkable for firmness even when dead ripe. 
Good quality, not acid or sour. Try Fireball 
for your first early tomatoes. Hot Water 
Treated Seed. See prices on next page. 
FIREBALL—Small vines, smooth round fruit. 
A new Harris tomato for your earliest crops. 
889 Valiant 
The Standard Early Tomato 
Our Valiant, selected for years here on our 
farms, is the top strain of this important va- 
riety. It matures very early and the large, 
meaty fruit have an even deep globe shape, 
well colored and of mild pleasant flavor. 
Valiant tomatoes are always in demand on 
the early market. 
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 they continue to bear well all 
season. N. Y. State Certified Seed of our own 
growing. See prices on next page. 
An ounce of seed will produce 
about 2000 plants. 
858 Early Hybrid 
(Earliana x Valiant) Extra Early—Big Yielder 
For the very first early tomatoes, this hybrid 
has proved most successful, especially when 
given good fertility and ample moisture. It 
produces more fruit than most other early 
kinds and they are smooth, round and attrac- 
tive. 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 
hybrid tomato we know and will out-yield 
anything in its class. Seed saved only from 
hand-pollinated fruit grown on our own 
farms. See prices on next page. 
871 Moreton Hybrid (New) 
Early—Large Fruit—Fine Quality 
See Photo on Front Cover 
We feel that this true F: hybrid of our own 
breeding is one of the finest early tomatoes 
ever developed. It is early, ripening with 
Valiant, yet it has the size, rich flavor and big 
yields of many of the best main crop types. 
The large husky vines provide ample foliage 
cover and the fruit set freely in heavy clus- 
ters over a long period. 
The fruit are large, (6 to 7 oz.) globe or 
slightly flattened in shape, smooth and rich 
red in color. They ripen evenly to the stem 
and are solid, meaty and of delicious sweet 
flavor. These big, high quality tomatoes are 
unusual in the early season and the vines will 
continue to produce excellent fruit well into 
the late tomato season. Growers who tested it 
last year have praised it highly. Hot Water 
Treated Seed. See prices on next page. 
892 Valnorth (New) 
Extra-Early Type from Cornell 
This new tomato shows promise in some sec- 
tions of matching the large early yields of our 
Early Hybrid without the expense of F; hy- 
brid seed. Developed by Dr. H. M. Munger at 
Cornell, it has been outstanding at Ithaca and 
with many market growers who have tried it. 
The fruit are attractive, globe-shaped, smooth 
and of good quality, a little smaller than 
Valiant but of the same type. 
The vigorous spreading vines are similar to 
Valiant and the early yields are considerably 
heavier, in some cases rivalling those of Early 
Hybrid. A good early variety that deserves a 
real trial for the first early tomato market.

VANCROSS—Vigorous, early and handsome. 
891 Vancross (New) 
Harris’ Prolific Early Fe Hybrid 
We are proud of this new F2 hybrid of our 
own development for it has nearly all the 
vigor, yield and uniformity of an Fi at much 
lower cost. Ripening about in season with 
Valiant, it has more foliage, heavier yields 
and smoother and cleaner fruit. These toma- 
toes are of fine type—good-sized and uniform, 
nearly globe-shaped, and they color beauti- 
fully right up to the stem. Vancross is notable 
for its freedom from scars and cracking, and 
the interiors are firm and meaty with fine 
quality. 
Vancross has already been a great success 
with many growers. It is a vigorous, high- 
producing tomato that we recommend highly.

883 Red Top (New) 
Excellent Paste Type From Dr. Tapley 
Enormous yields of the finest large plum or 
pear tomatoes are produced by this outstand- 
ing new variety. Ripening earlier than the 
conventional types, Red Top (Geneva 4000) 
has small compact but vigorous plants with 
good foliage and it sets astonishing clusters 
of firm, plum-shaped fruit, bright red and 
very well-colored to the stem. They measure 
2 to 4 in. long by 1 to 1% in. in diameter. They 
will remain in good condition on the vines 
for a long time, permitting heavy picks at 
wide intervals, and it is not unusual to get 
well over forty excellent fruit per plant at one 
picking. 
Another of the fine varieties from Dr. W. T. 
Tapley at Geneva, Red Top is a paste tomato 
of excellent type. N. Y. State Certified Seed of 
our own growing. See prices on next page. 
868 Longred —Big Yields over a Long Season 
Longred is by far the best of the newer tomatoes and it has been wide- 
ly acclaimed by growers for both market and canning. Developed by 
Prof. Tapley at the Geneva Station, it is a truly outstanding main crop 
variety, ripening enormous yields of large fruit and continuing to bear 
until frost. 
The fruit are exceptionally smooth and uniform in appearance, deep 
globe shaped, with thick walls and solid flesh. The rich red color is 
excellent both inside and out, and they ripen uniformly, with com- 
paratively little cracking. The large size and deep shape hold up well 
on all pickings. 
Distinguished by its abundant, fine-leaved foliage, Longred sets very 
freely, resulting in heavy yields at each picking. If you have not tried 
Longred, plant some this year. N. Y. State Certified Seed grown here on 
our farm. See prices on next page. 
877 Queens —Remarkably Solid Fruit 
Excellent for midseason market and green wraps, Queens is notable 
for its fine flavor and firmness. Developed at the New J ersey Station 
by L. G. Schermerhorn, it was created from a cross between Valiant 
and Rutgers and ripens midway between them. The fruit are of large 
size, smooth, deep globe shape and bright red color. The thick outer 
walls and solid interiors make them stand handling well, and the flavor 
is mild and sweet. The vines are somewhat open but vigorous and yield 
well. See prices on next page.
