TOMATOE 
861 Fireball —Harris’ New First-Early—Heavy Yields of Firm Fruit 
If you want extra early tomatoes, here is a great money-maker. Ripen- 
ing well ahead of the standard varieties, Fireball produces big crops 
of good smooth fruit at a time when prices are still high. 
The vines are very small with little foliage and should be planted 
close, 1 to 2 ft. apart for big returns per acre. The blossoms set in large 
clusters even at cool temperatures and the medium-sized fruit ripen 
quickly from pale green to bright red. They are most attractive for an 
extra early variety—smooth, uniformly globe-shaped, 4 to 5 oz., and 
they are remarkably firm even when dead ripe. Good quality, not 
acid or sour. 
Fireball is another great Harris’ achievement, not adapted for mid- 
season crop but highly profitable for the first early tomatoes in nearly 
all sections. Try it this year. See prices on next page. 
MORETON HYBRID—Surpasses all others in earliness, size, quality and yield. 
871 Moreton Hybrid (New) 
Harris’ Magnificent Early Tomato 
This true F; hybrid of our own breeding is the finest tomato ever 
developed, in our opinion. It has everything—hybrid vigor, earliness, 
size, appearance and wonderful quality, and it usually excels all 
standard varieties until Longred’s season. 
Maturing with Valiant here, it is even earlier with some growers. 
Throughout the season it continues to bear large firm handsome fruit 
in great quantities. They are smooth, globe or slightly flattened, 6 to 
7 oz., solid and meaty, and they color evenly to a rich red. The flavor 
and sweetness are so good that Moreton is now the only tomato we 
grow for our own tables. Vines husky, spreading, good foliage cover. 
One of our most successful introductions, Moreton is widely adapted 
and highly prolific. Be sure to grow some in 1955; we are confident you 
will be well pleased. See prices on next page.

FIREBALL—Firm, round fruit ripen very early on dwarf vines. 
858 Early Hybrid 
(Earliana x Valiant) Extra Early 
Bred for extra early crops and heavy yields, 
this F; hybrid produces medium-sized, slight- 
ly flattened fruit in great abundance. The 
spreading vines are vigorous, open in habit 
and may be staked. They blossom early and 
set freely, making this the earliest and most 
productive hybrid in its class. The size, color 
and quality are not up to Moreton Hybrid but 
it is definitely earlier and is highly successful 
with many growers. See prices on next page. 
880 Red Jacket 
Heavy Yielder—Fine for Canning 
Red Jacket is widely grown for the canners 
because it ripens a big tonnage of well col- 
ored fruit comparatively early. These toma- 
toes are large, somewhat flattened in shape 
and often rather rough for market, but they 
are meaty and of excellent color inside and 
out. 
The sturdy compact vines have potato leaf 
foliage and are usually the heaviest yielders 
in the early-midseason group. Developed by 
Dr. Tapley at Geneva, Red Jacket is an ex- 
cellent tomato. N. Y. State Certified Seed. See 
prices on next page. 
LONGRED—Round, solid fruit. 
‘ ® is Pe 
889 Valiant 
The Standard Early Tomato 
The large meaty fruit have uniform deep 
globe shape, good color and mild flavor, and 
the size is excellent for an early variety. The 
vines are spreading and rather open and pre- 
fer heavier soils of high fertility. 
This is the most popular early kind, well 
known and well-liked on the market. Our 
strain is superior to most in early yields and 
uniformity. N. Y. State Certified Seed of our 
own growing. See prices on next page. 
868 Longred—Outstanding Main Crop Tomato 
891 Vancross 
Harris’ Prolific, Early Fz Tomato 
An F» or second generation of a hybrid devel- 
oped by us and very popular in the Valiant 
season. It generally has heavier foliage, bet- 
ter yield and smoother, cleaner fruit than 
Valiant. They color well to the stem and are 
relatively free of scars and cracks. 
Vancross is a big producer of fine firm to- 
matoes, good-sized and nearly globe-shaped 
with meaty interior of fine quality. Highly 
recommended. See prices on next page. 
Longred is the best midseason variety for New York State and many other areas, whether for 
market or canners. It matures early enough for top production in our seasons and continues to 
bear until frost. 
The fruit are exceptionally smooth and uniform in appearance, deep globe-shaped with thick 
walls and solid flesh. They have a fine rich red color and their interiors are very attractive. 
Longred ripens uniformly and the large size and deep smooth shape hold up well on all pickings. 
Another fine tomato from Prof. Tapley, Longred has abundant, fine leaved foliage and a free 
setting habit, giving heavy yields at each picking. If you have not grown Longred, try it this 
year. N. Y. State Certified Seed. See prices on next page. 
885 Rutgers 
Harris’ Famous Northern-Grown Strain 
Rutgers still leads the field in many impor- 
tant tomato growing sections. It combines 
large size, solid structure, fine flavor and a 
beautiful rich red color that goes all through 
ace the fruit, making it excellent for 
both market and canning. The 
vines are large and very husky 
and stand up well even late in the 
season; they bear tremendous 
crops of fine fruit. 
Our strain has been grown and 
selected here in the North for 
years and is the best obtainable. 
The earliness and yield, the uni- 
formly large size and smooth even 
shape of the fruit have all been 
improved due to our careful 
breeding. N. Y. State Certified Seed 
of our own growing. See prices on
