HARRIS SEEDS FOR 1933

We’re Not Letting Down . . .

TN spite of the fact that business has been poor

in nearly all lines during the past year, we are
happy to say that we have had a successful
season.

We firmly believe that this is due more than
anything else to the confidence which our
thousands of customers place in Harris Seeds.
Growers have had to make every dollar count —
they could not take chances on poor seed. They
bought from a firm which they felt would supply
them with the best possible seed and at a fair
price.

We regard this confidence which so many
people place in us as our most valued possession,
and hold firmly to the principle that every effort
must be made to maintain and improve the High
Quality of Harris Seeds.

During the past year, when almost everyone
has been cutting down, we have maintained our
full force of expert men. Our trial grounds are
just as extensive, our stock selection and breeding
program has been fully carried out and the in¬
spection and rogueing of our crops has been
carried on with the same systematic care which
we have employed for years.

In looking over this catalogue you will find
that we have been able to reduce prices still
further in many cases, but you can be sure that
you will receive the same high quality of seed and
service which we have given our many customers
during the past sixty years.

This is the label ivhich appears on every package

We believe we are the only seeds¬
men in America who tell on every
package the percentage of good seeds
which it contains. Each lot of seed
which we raise or have raised for us is
tested either in soil or in a germinating
apparatus and the number of seeds
which germinate out of one hundred
seeds tested is put on the label as
shown in the picture at the left. With
this information you can tell just
how thick to sow the seed to get the
right number of plants in the row and
avoid wasting the seed.

JOSEPH HARRIS CO., Inc., Moreton Farm , Coldwater,N, Y.

About Ourselves

We know of no other seed concern in the country which is so
advantageously situated as we are to serve your needs.

Our whole establishment; office, warehouses, mills, dryhouses,
etc., is located here in Moreton Farm. Here we grow many of our
special varieties of seed and have our trial grounds and stock seed
plots. We do not have to pay high city taxes and other overhead.

Our working force is a loyal group of competent people. The
men who fill your orders in the winter and spring, work in the
production of our vegetable and flower seed crops and in our trial
grounds and breeding plots during the summer and fall. We are
not dependent on drifting “seasonal help” but our people are
trained men and women who are experts in their work.

Our low “overhead,” small turnover of labor and concentrated
effort enables us to give you more value for your money. When
you buy Harris' Seeds you get the best at no more cost.

Moreton Farm

Moreton Farm has been the home of Harris Seeds for over sixty
years. It was here in 1870 that Joseph Harris the founder of this
business first started to raise seed to sell. The farm consists of
235 acres of good farm land, located a few miles west of Rochester
and with the exception of a few acres in orchards and woods, is
entirely devoted to the different phases of the production and
marketing of high quality seed.

Pay Us a Visit

Whether you have a farm, a market garden or but a small back
yard garden, there is something here of interest to you.

Our trial grounds have many varieties of vegetables and flowers,
growing in rows side by side so you can actually see for yourself
their comparative merits. Our crops in the field and the stock
seed plots where we carry on our improvement work are of interest
to the commercial growers.

Our beautiful display garden is of particular interest to the
flower lover. The model back yard, the extensive plantings of
annual and perennial flowers, the rock garden and pools will give
you many ideas for your own garden

We were extremely gratified at the large number of our customers
and friends from all over the country who visited Moreton Farm
this past year. We extend to all a most cordial invitation to pay
a visit to our farm and gardens and see what we are doing.

Roadside Markets

Two Money Making Roadside Stands

Whether your stand is large or small, fine produce attractively displayed will attract and keep customers for you.

The selling of farm products at the roadside has grown to a business of tremendous proportions during the last
few years. To many growers it is the chief market for their products.

Buyers in increasing numbers are becoming better informed and more critical as to the quality of what they buy.
To make a real success of the roadside business, you must establish a reputation for good things. Grow and offer for
sale only vegetables of high quality, have them fresh and attractive in appearance and you will soon have many
steady customers.

As you study this catalogue note carefully the varieties which we particularly recommend for quality as well
as yield and appearance. In order to know about the flavor we actually try these vegetables on our own tables.
We do not guess at the quality. Grow these kinds and you will soon have established a fine permanent trade
at your stand.

The Home Garden

Thruout the nation this year much attention will be centered on
the home garden. The old fashioned common kitchen garden is
going to play a most important part in the economic life of the
people of this country. The returns not only in better living but
in actual money can be made to be very important. A small plot
of land and a few dollars spent in seed and fertilizers will make the
difference in many families between just getting along and having
plenty. Every one recognizes the fact that there is no more health¬
ful and appetizing food than plenty of fresh vegetables right from
the garden.

Make Your Garden Worth While.

Plant enough to supply your table abundantly and to have
enough to can for winter use. Choose the varieties carefully — it
is just as easy to raise vegetables of high flavor as it is to raise
ordinary stuff. If you have high quality vegetables you will
usually be able to sell your surplus either in market or along the
road, and this will give you an additional source of income.

“We were very much pleased with all your seeds. Our garden was
one of the finest in town. You may expect another order from us next
year as well as some new customers.’'

Arthur W. Pellegrim, Readsboro, Vt. Oct. 3, 1932.

Why not have a garden like this?

“There’s loads of health and good living in the garden."

“I bought all my seeds from you last year and had the best garden I
have had for years. Everything was as represented.”

Daniel Flint, Dover, N. H.

What to Raise ill a Complete Vegetable Garden

Below we have made some suggestions as to what to raise in a complete vegetable garden, and about the quan¬
tities required for an ordinary family. The amounts and varieties should be varied to meet your own needs and
tastes. As you study the catalogue, you can be sure that what we say about yield, quality and so forth is all
based on our actual experience.

Asparagus. Set out 100 to 200 roots, 2 feet apart, rows 4 feet apart.
Mary Washington is the best variety.

Beans. About 30 feet of row of wax or green pod varieties for early
use. Pencil Pod or Sure Crop for Wax, Tendergreen, Conserva or
Full Measure for Green Podded ; lb. seed of each, 15 hills Scotia,
for later use; 1 pkt. 150 feet of row, Bush Lima, using 1 lb. seed, or,
if preferred, 25 hills Pole Limas, Ideal; H lb. of seed required.

Beets. About 40 feet of row, 1 oz. of seed required, Crosby’s Egyp¬
tian. Make a second sowing in July of Detroit Dark Red for late
use and canning, or sow “Long Season’’ beet, which remains tender
all through the season.

Broccoli. 25 plants, or 1 pkt. seed. Italian Green Sprouting. Plant
the same time as Cauliflower.

Brussels Sprouts. 25 plants, or 1 pkt. seed. Long Island Improved
Dwarf.

Chinese Cabbage. Excellent for salad. 30 ft. Sow 1 pkt. of seed
in July. Chihli is the best.

Cabbage. If early cabbage is desired, it is better to buy the plants.
For late crop the seed is sown in May. We recommend Golden
Acre for first early (forced plants) ; Savoy or Enkhuizen Glory or
Sleaford Market for late fall and winter use; Large Late Copen¬
hagen for kraut. 1 pkt. seed of each or 25 plants of early and 100
plants of late kinds. (We can furnish cabbage plants. See page
45).

Carrots. If used as a vegetable, 25 feet of row; if merely for flavor¬
ing, 10 feet of row, 1 pkt. seed; Red Cored Chantenay or Tender-
sweet. Make a sowing of Coreless about the first of August for late
fall use.

Cauliflower. 50 plants Snowball or 1 pkt. of seed. 24 plants
Italian Purple or sow 1 pkt. of seed.

Celery. 100 or 200 plants each of Golden Plume and Salt Lake;
1 pkt. seed of each kind. Better to buy the plants than try to
raise them. See page 45.

Chives. A few plants are excellent for flavoring.

Cucumbers. 10 hills Harris’ Perfection, Longfellow, or China;
1 pkt. seed. For pickles 5 hills (1 pkt.) Double Yield.

Egg Plant. 12 to 15 plants, or 1 pkt. seed; Black Beauty.

Kohl Rabi. Early White Vienna, 1 pkt.

Lettuce. White Boston, Crisp-as-Ice, New York No. 12 and Sala¬
mander are best heading varieties. Non-heading or loose-leaf
varieties may be sown in the open ground at intervals during the
spring and summer. Prizehead and Black Seeded Simpson are
good loose-leaf varieties. Mignonette makes small firm heads.
1 pkt. seed of each variety.

Muskmelons. Those who have good soil and a sunny situation can
raise fine muskmelons. Delicious, Sugar Rock or Bender’s Surprise
are the best. 15 hills will be enough. 1 pkt. seed.

Okra. 10 feet of row; 1 pkt. of seed.

Onions. Green onions for early spring use are raised by planting
sets. Set out a quart of white sets about 2 inches apart in the row.
Large onions can also be raised in this way. If dry onions are re¬
quired for fall and winter use, they can be raised by setting out
Ebenezer sets or by sowing the seed. Riverside Sweet Spanish
makes a large mild onion and is easy to grow from seed. Sow 1 oz.
seed in the spring, or set out 2 qts. of Ebenezer onion sets.

Parsley. 5 feet of row, 1 packet of seed.

Peas. If an abundance of peas is desired, so as to have them prac¬
tically every day during the pea season, it will require the follow¬
ing; 1 lb. Gradus or Thomas Laxton, 1 lb. Laxton's Progress, 1 lb.
Midseason Giant or Advancer, 1 lb. Alderman, 1 lb. Onward. Sow
3 or 4 weeks later 1 lb. Onward.

Pepper. 1 doz. plants of Harris’ Earliest or Harris’ Early Giant. If
"hot” peppers are required, plant a few Hot Portugal.

Potatoes. For early, 300 to 500 feet of row ; Irish Cobbler or White
Gold. 1 peck to fi bu. seed. For late, Golden Rural, which is of
fine quality.

Radish. Early Scarlet Globe and Icicle are the best. 1 oz. each. It
is well to sow some radish seed in August for fall use.

Rhubarb. 1 doz. roots set 3 feet apart. The new Macdonald is
the best.

Salsify. 50 feet of row, I oz. of seed.

Spinach . 100 feet of row will produce a good lot of spinach if it is on
rich ground. 1 pkt. Nobel Giant Leaf, 1 pkt. King of Denmark or
Long Standing Bloomsdale for spring sowing, and 1 oz. Long
Standing Bloomsdale for wintering over. Sown September 1st,
spinach will be ready for use in the late fall and will last over with
slight protection and be available for use as soon as the snow goes
off in the spring.

Squash. For summer use 8 or 10 hills Giant Summer Straightneck
and Mammoth White Bush Scallop or Italian Vegetable Marrow.
For fall and winter, Delicious and Quality squash are excellent.
1 pkt. each.

Swiss Chard. For greens, 20 feet of row; 1 pkt. seed. Fordhook
Giant.

Sweet Corn. About 50 hills each. Gill’s Early Market or Harris’
Extra Early Bantam, Buttercup or Golden Bantam, Mimms’
Hybrid or Bantam Evergreen, Country Gentleman or Long Island
Beauty. If you want to prolong the season still more, plant Golden
Bantam or Buttercup 6 weeks later than the first sowing. % lb.
of seed of each kind.

Tomatoes. 25 plants of an early variety, such as Bonny Best, and
50 plants of a later kind, such as Stone, Success or Pritchard's
Scarlet Topper.

Turnips. Purple Top White Globe and Yellow Stone are excellent
kinds. Sow in August. 1 pkt. seed of each kind. For winter use
sow Macomber in late June or first of July.

Watermelons. We do not advise amateur gardeners to raise water¬
melons in the Northern States unless they have light soil and
plenty of room. Hungarian Honey. Stone Mountain and the new
Wonder Melon are good for the North and Kleckley Sweets tor
further South.

Witloof Chicory or “French Endive.” Sow 50 to 100 feet of row;
1 oz. of seed. Roots should be dug and forced during the winter.

Herbs for Flavoring. Every garden should have some Dill, Sage,
Thyme, Summer Savory arid Sweet Marjoram.

Note: There are many less common vegetables which you may
find you want in your garden, such as Leek, Fennel, Endive, C-eleriac.
Cress, Kale, Mustard for salad, etc. You will find these all described
in this catalogue.

No seeds are sold by us that we do not know are of good vitality and will grow under normal conditions. They are all
tested and the percent that germinates is marked on the package or label so you can tell just how many seeds out of one hundred
will germinate.

Nevertheless if the seeds do not grow in your garden, and you believe it to be the fault of the seed and not the planting or
soil and weather conditions, notify us at once (it is important that we be notified immediately) and we will promptly
and cheerfully refund the money you paid for them.

Owing to many conditions of soil and climate over which we have no control we cannot assume any responsibility for loss of
a crop and it must be distinctly understood that we will not consider any claim for loss exceeding the amount paid for the seed.

Red Cored Chantenay

A New “Coreless” Chantenay Carrot

This new carrot, which combines the fine smooth attractive
shape and high yield of the best strains of Chantenay with the
excellent quality and beautiful deep orange color of “coreless” or
Amsterdam. It has become very popular with market gardeners,
and increasingly so with home gardeners and growers for roadside
markets who cater to a “quality trade.”

The advantages of the carrot will be readily appreciated. In¬
stead of the light colored core which has always been characteristic
of the Chantenay, Danvers and similar carrots, this new strain has
the deep orange-red color right through to the center as shown in
the colored plate opposite.

The carrots are of the same size and shape as the best strain of
Chantenay and will yield just as much.

These carrots when “diced” for soup or served on the table are
so much more attractive in appearance and of such fine quality
that they should command a much better market than the old
strain.

The strain we offer is over 95% true coreless and are of uniform
shape, 6 in. long and very smooth and handsome. In fact this is a
fine strain of Chantenay carrot with the additional advantages of
being “Coreless.”

We strongly advise all gardeners to use this variety.

Red Cored Chantenay Carrots

Riverside Sweet Spanish Onions

Large Sweet Onions in Your Own Garden

For the last three years this variety has produced the largest
and finest onions in our trial grounds which included all the standard
kinds. It has shown most remarkable vigor and resistance to dis¬
ease and insect pests.

It may seem incredible that these large mild Spanish onions can
be grown in your own garden but this is absolutely the case.

This new variety has been thoroughly acclimated and is so vigor¬
ous and hardy that any one with reasonably good garden soil can
grow these fine onions. Home gardeners will find it easy to grow
large sweet onions in their own garden if they plant this kind.
Market gardeners and growers for the Roadside stands, who have
a particular and discriminating trade will find this a valuable
variety.

Seed sown in the open ground in the early spring will produce
magnificent large globe shaped onions often weighing a pound or
more and of very mild pleasant flavor.

Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; l/4 lb. 90c; lb. $3.00.

“We tried your Riverside Sweet Spanish Onion last year and although
we planted late we had a very good crop and the onions matured, which is
exceptional for our short season. We are still using these onions and they
have not sprouted yet, but are still firm, so they have kept very well."

R. V. Boetcher, Great Falls, Mont. March 2U, 1932.

" I have been very much pleased with the Red Cored Chantenay carrot
I received from you this season. It has produced wonderful carrots of fine
quality." H. S. Van Ingle, Pittston, Pa. July 19, 1932.

Hams’ Specialties in Vegetables

New and Old Varieties of Exceptional Merit

We offer on the following few pages a carefully selected list of vegetables which
are among the best in their respective classes. These are carefully bred strains
which we have selected for their outstanding merit, and many of them are
Harris’ introductions which we have bred on our own farm.

Bender’s Surprise Muskmelons

If you want really delicious, tender, fine flavored, early snap beans plant some
of the Tendergreen. There is no bean of its class that we have grown that is of
quite as fine quality. Many of our customers consider it the best quality bush bean
they have ever grown and will have nothing else.

The pods are long, round as a pencil, very meaty and of light green color. They
mature early and the vines are exceptionally strong and vigorous. This bean is
remarkable for the large yields of long straight pods.

This is without doubt the best variety both for market growers and the roadside
stands. The pods are of handsome appearance, absolutely stringless and of the
very best quality. It is not often that so many good qualities are combined in one
variety.

Pkt. 10c; 1/2 lb. 20c; 1 lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 70c; 7V& lbs. $2.20 postpaid. By
freight: 15 lbs. $3.15; 60 lbs. (bu.) $10.80; 100 lbs. $18.00.

“Tendergreen” — A Delicious Bean

High Yield — Superb Quality

Bender’s Surprise Melon — Harris’ Special Strain

A Grand Muskmelon for Home and Market

This melon has become the leading variety for both market and roadside stand
displacing the older sorts. We know of no large muskmelon which can equal the
Bender for all around high class. It has exquisitely fine flavor; it grows to a large
size and the melons are very firm.

A valuable point about these melons is that they will keep in good condition five
or six days after picking, and actually improve in flavor during that time. The
netting is so heavy and the flesh is so firm and thick that the melons remain firm
much longer than any other large melons of this class. For roadside sales, market
and shipping this is most important consideration.

The Bender melons are medium early and in a favorable season if planted in the
open ground in the middle of May they will ripen the last of August. The flesh is
very thick, deep orange in color, of fine flavor and deliciously sweet. These melons
are of oval shape, light green with coarse netting. When ripe, they turn a golden
tint which shows thru the netting, giving the fruit a very attractive appearance.

The melons average quite large, many weighing 10 pounds. We have had some
that weighed 16 pounds each and some of our customers have reported even
heavier ones.

Harris’ Special Strain of the Bender melon has been bred upon our own farm for
over ten years, special attention being paid to quality — that is, sweetness and high
flavor. The Harris strain is much superior to the ordinary strain of this melon.
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; i/4 Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00.

Tendergreen Beans

11 Your Tendergreen Beans are the most productive and the
best flavor of any beans I have ever raised." Mrs. Richard
Albrecht, Neillsville, Wise. May 19, 1932.

“I particularly liked your Tendergreen Beans which ripen¬
ed in 4 0 days - — were
very prolific and highest
quality." Jos. M. Pratt,

Flemington, N. J. Feb.

29, 1932.

“We had wonderful
luclc with your melon
seed ( Bender's Sur¬
prise) last year. We had
some melons that weigh¬
ed 15 lbs." Glenn O'Con¬
nor, Ransomville, N . Y .
Feb. 13, 1932.

Delicious
M uskmelon

“I wish to say we had wonderful luck with your Watermelon and Muskmelons.
We never had such wonderful melons as we have since using your seed.”

Mrs. Frank Wells, Saratoga Springs, N. Y. Apr. If, 1932.

Three Leading Muskmelons

BENDER’S SURPRISE. The Best Large Melon for Home and Market, (see opposite page).
DELICIOUS. The Earliest Large Melon, (see below).

SUGAR ROCK. The Finest Quality Small Melon for Market and Shipping, (see below).

Each of these varieties is the leading melon in its class, and our strains are with¬
out doubt the best which can be obtained. They will give you a splendid assort¬
ment for the home garden or Roadside Stand.

Delicious Muskmelon

The Largest and Sweetest Early Muskmelon

This new melon is rightly named — it is certainly deli¬
cious and what is also very important it is early. It will
ripen two weeks earlier than Bender’s Surprise and three
weeks before many other kinds. It is as early as Golden
Champlain, which has been considered the earliest melon
grown.

The melons are quite large, averaging 5 lbs. or more
and are of oval shape, light green and covered with fine
netting. The flesh is moderately firm, deep orange yellow
and of very high quality, sweet and delicious.

The combination of earliness, high quality and good size
is not found in any other melon with which we are ac¬
quainted.

This melon will not keep as well as Bender’s Surprise
or Sugar Rock but for the home garden and roadside
stand this variety has the advantage of earliness and fully
as high flavor. Growers will do well to plant some of
this kind.

We offer seed of our own growing here on Moreton
Farm.

Scotia Beans

SPRAYING VINE CROPS

Regular spraying will keep your vine crops healthy
and increase the quality and yield. See Insecticides
in the back part of this catalogue.

Sugar Rock Muskmelons

(Also Called “Honey Rock”)

This new muskmelon has proved to be a very
valuable variety and is fast becoming one of the most
popular kinds for home and market gardeners.

This is one of the most delicious melons we have
ever eaten. Every melon is of high flavor and very
sweet.

The melons are of medium size, as round as a ball
and covered with heavy coarse netting. The flesh is of
deep orange color, firm and of good thickness. The
melon is very light green turning when ripe to a light
golden yellow. They ripen early and the vines are
very productive.

This is not only an excellent melon for the home
garden but will be found a very profitable kind for
market and shipping where a medium size melon is
desired. Its handsome appearance and high quality
will command good prices in any market and make it
especially valuable to those who grow for the roadside

If you want the very best, most tender and delicious “string beans,” raise the Scotia.

It is a pole bean and should have some support for the vines, but can be grown without. The pods are
long, perfectly round, straight, and of the very highest quality.

Many of our customers who have raised the Scotia bean for years know how delicious it is, but those who
have not tried it have a treat awaiting them. The pods of the Scotia when cooked have a rich, melting
buttery flavor possessed by no other bean.

They commence to bear as soon as the early bush beans are gone.

A few hills will produce enough for a family and if kept picked will bear all through August and September
when the earlier bush beans are gone. Plant enough to can — Scotia beans are delicious; far more rich and
tender than any other canned beans we have ever eaten.

Crosby’s Egyptian Beet — Harris’ Special Strain.

The Best Early Garden Beet

There is no better early garden beet than a really good strain of
Crosby’s Egyptian.

We have been raising seed of this beet for over 30 years and by
careful selection have bred up a strain that is considered to be
unequaled in uniformity of color and shape.

The Harris’ Strain produces beets of uniformly deep crimson
color, nearly round but slightly flattened, very smooth and with
small tops and very slender tap roots. The type is shown in the
photograph. The beets mature very quickly, being as early as any
variety grown.

There are many different strains of Crosby’s Egyptian, some of a
light red, while others are dark. The Harris’ strain is of the dark
red type which is considered the most desirable color.

This beet is very similar to “Early Wonder,” but more even in
shape and matures just as early.

Market gardeners find this the best beet for early bunching. The
beets grow quickly and being very smooth and uniform in shape
and color command highest prices on the markets. For fine early
beets in the home garden this strain is unequaled. Pkt. 10c;
oz. 15c; *4 lb. 40c; lb. $1.25.

“Your Long Season beet
grew splendidly for us and
was the sweetest and most
tender we have ever tasted.”
Mrs. W. J. Morris. Duluth,
Minn. Apr. 22, 1932.

Harris’ Long Season Beet

Tender and Delicious the Whole Season Long

If you want a beet that will remain tender and sweet all summer long and well into the winter,
try the “Long Season.” This is the best table beet we have ever eaten. It makes no difference
whether the beets are young or old, small or large, they are always tender and good.

This beet grows slowly and should not be depended upon for early use. When the early beets
get tough and poor the Long Season will be found to be of the finest quality, just as tender as
the young early beets. They retain their fine quality when stored in a cold place for winter use.

This is not a variety that is suitable for general market, as it is not a handsome beet to look at,
but for home gardens and the Roadside Stand where quality counts for more than appearance, Long
Season will be found a valuable variety.

The shape of the beet is shown in the photograph reproduced here. The color is very deep red
without light colored rings. The beets when cooked are sweet, tender and delicious, even if
allowed to grow very large. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; y4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.50.

Detroit Dark Red Beet — Harris’ Special Strain

(See Color Illustration on Inside Front Cover)

The Detroit Beet is used more extensively for canning than any other kind and lately has be¬
come very popular among gardeners for late bunching. For fall use in the home garden it has few
equals. Seed sown in July will produce beautiful tender dark red beets, to use in the fall and to
store for winter.

The beets are perfectly round or globe shaped, have small tops and slender tap roots. The
color is deep red with but faintly defined rings which disappear entirely when the beet is cooked.
The quality is exceptionally fine, the young beets being very sweet and without toughness.

The Harris’ Special Strain has been grown and selected by us for many years and produces beets
that are much more uniform in shape and of deeper red color than the strains usually sold. We
can confidently state that there is no better strain of Detroit Dark Red beet to be obtained at
any price. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 35c; lb. $1.10.

Brussels Sprouts

Long Island Improved Dwarf — Special Stock

It is usually hard to get Brussels Sprouts that yield well in this country. The growers on
Long Island have bred up a strain that yields more than three times as many large solid sprouts
as any other strain or variety we have grown. The plants of the Long Island strain do not
grow very tall but they are covered from the ground up with large solid sprouts.

With this Special Stock it is very easy to raise all the sprouts required for a large family on
a small piece of ground. Sow the seed in the open ground the middle of May and transplant
the plants 234 feet apart when large enough.

There is always a good market for good Brussels Sprouts and with this improved strain many
gardeners make a good profit. Do not get the Special Stock confused with the ordinary Long
Island Dwarf that is offered by many seedsmen, which is much inferior in every way.

Broccoli

Italian Green Sprouting (Calabrese)

The Sprouting Broccoli is a delicious vegetable which has now
become very popular thruout the country. The flavor somewhat
resembles cauliflower but is much more delicate.

Broccoli is grown the same as cabbage or cauliflower. Simply
sow the seed in the open ground in May and transplant the plants
when large enough.

The center “head” which is shown in the photo opposite is cut
out when ready to use and the plant will then form numerous
branch heads which can be used later, so a continuous supply may
be had for a long time. A few plants set in June will give sufficient
broccoli for a medium sized family.

Sprouting Broccoli is a very profitable crop both for market and
roadside stands. The yield is large and the broccoli always sells
for good prices.

We are confident that our strain is the best which can be ob¬
tained. It is early and heavy yielding. Pkt. 15c; y4 oz. 30c;
oz. 85c; V4 lb. $2.40.

Tendersweet Carrot — The Sweetest Kind

This is the sweetest and finest carrot we have ever eaten. It has a richness and
quality of flavor which we have found in no other variety. We have found that people
who do not care for “ordinary” carrots are very enthusiastic about “Tendersweet,”
and we are confident that home gardeners who once try this kind will never go without
it in their gardens.

Tendersweet Carrot is unusual in appearance, having deep orange flesh of fine tex¬
ture and is practically “coreless,” that is without any hard center or “core.” The
outer skin "is of deep orange color somewhat tinged with red. The tops are dark green
with a very pronounced deep red tinge at the base of the stem. The shape is long and
somewhat tapering (as shown in the illustration on this page) and the carrots are
smooth and uniform.

The fine quality makes this an outstanding variety for the home garden. The
beautiful deep orange color gives this carrot a most attractive appearance either in
bunches or baskets for market. We offer seed grown especially for us.

Two Fine New Things for Your Garden!

(See Colored Photographs on Inside Front Cover)

New Macdonald Rhubarb — Large Bright Red Stalks

This remarkable new variety is probably the most distinct improvement which has been
made in rhubarb in many years. It combines the much desired bright crimson stalk with
a plant that is high yielding, robust and strong.

This new rhubarb will produce an abundance of large fine stalks, even during dry
weather.

When cooked the Macdonald is of excellent flavor and a beautiful deep pink color.

This variety was originated at the Macdonald College, Quebec, Canada. Two years
ago we were able (together with a nursery in the middle West) to buy their entire stock
of roots. We have carefully increased these by root division until now we have a limited
amount of fine sturdy one year roots to offer to our customers.

While they last: One year roots — $1.00 each; 3 for $2.65, prepaid.

The yield is high, the pods being borne in great numbers on strong sturdy vines 18 to 24 inches tall.
These vines are so vigorous and resistant that they will produce fine crops even in hot dry weather

Large Late Copenhagen

Finest Kraut Cabbage

This new strain of Copenhagen Market cabbage, was originated
by one of the leading cabbage seed growers in Denmark. When
one of the most particular kraut packers in this vicinity saw the
row of this new variety in our trial grounds this fall he was so im¬
pressed by the uniformly large size, hardness and fine quality of the
heads that he immediately told us to be sure to save him twenty
pounds of seed.

The heads are round and while they are larger than Enkhuizen
Glory and mature nearly a week earlier they are very hard and will
stand a long time without splitting. In our trial grounds this year
every plant in the row made a big hard solid head.

If you are looking for heavy tonnage grow some Large Late
Copenhagen.

Super Snowball Cauliflower

A larger, earlier and better
Snowball Cauliflower!

This is the earliest cauliflower with good large firm heads. It
heads more uniformly than any other strain of Snowball we have
tried.

The leaves are quite large and vigorous and curl over the heads
so as to protect them from the sun and keep them white until
ready to use.

On account of its earliness this new strain has been found very
profitable to grow as early cauliflower of fine quality always com¬
mands much higher prices in market than the later crop.

It •heads so evenly that the whole crop can be harvested before
ordinary varieties are ready. This may be an objection for the
home garden where cauliflower is wanted all through the season but
for market it should certainly be used for at least part of the
planting. Those who want the largest and finest cauliflower early
in the season will find the Super Snowball a most satisfactory kind.
It requires good land and favorable growing conditions for best
results. On poorer soil other varieties sometimes do better.

The seed we offer was grown by the originator and is the finest
strain of this kind that can be obtained at any price.

Pkt. 25c; y4 oz. $1.00; oz. $3.10; y4 lb. $10.75; lb. $36.00.

“ The seeds received from you have been most satisfactory , and your Super Snowball cauli¬
flower has been the finest I have ever grown.”

S. V. Bennet, Middlebury Center, Pa. Aug. 23, 1932.

CKihli — New Chinese Cabbage
Early — Fine Quality — Sure Heading

This is the earliest variety of Chinese Cabbage and heads more evenly than any
other kind we have tried. The heads are very firm. The leaves are deep green, curled
at the edges and have a large white midrib. When matured the heads are often 18 in.
long, blanched pure white inside and are of very fine quality.

This Chinese Cabbage makes excellent salad. The flavor resembles cabbage but is
more delicate. It is so easily raised there is no reason why everyone who has a garden
should not enjoy it. The seed should be sown in July or August and the plants
thinned out to stand a foot or 15 in. apart. It does not do well when sown in the spring.

Chihli is rapidly superseding the older varieties in markets and roadside stands,
as the attractive heads sell readily, making this a very profitable crop to grow.

Our strain of Chihli is very uniform and sure heading. Pkt. 10c; oz. 35c; y4 lb. $1.00;

Harris’ Extra Early Bantam Sweet Corn

Harris’ Extra Early Bantam
The Best Very Early Yellow Sweet Corn

Italian Purple Cauliflower

This is the most delicious cauliflower we have ever eaten. It is of more delicate flavor
than Broccoli and Brussel Sprouts and far superior to any other kind of cauliflower.

The heads are much like ordinary cauliflower but instead of being white are
deep purple on the top. When cooked this cauliflower is green like Broccoli, which it
resembles very much, but is of far more delicate flavor.

Purple Cauliflower is easy to grow as the plants are strong and resistant to disease.
They do not require tying as the heads are not blanched. Gardeners who have been
fortunate enough to grow this kind have been able to sell it at high prices.

Some people who do not like ordinary cauliflower think the Italian Purple de¬
licious. Try some of it. We know you will like it.

We are glad to be able to offer seed and plants of this fine variety which will give
over 75% true purple heads. The other heads are just as good in type and flavor but
lack the purple tinge.

SEED: Pkt. 20c; V4 oz. 55c; oz. $1.85; V4 lb. $6.50.

PLANTS: Ready June 20. Dozen 25c; 50 plants 60c; 100 plants 90c postpaid.

Since we introduced it in 1926 it has steadily become more popular
among both home and market growers.

Everyone wants Golden Bantam corn as early as possible. There are
very few kinds, either early or late, quite equal to it in quality. By using
Harris’ Extra Early Bantam you can get the corn ten days earlier than with
the old strain. By planting some of the old strain at the same time you can
have a continuous supply of delicious corn over a considerable time.

The ears are just the same as Golden Bantam; 8-rowed, of medium length,
deep yellow color and of fine quality. It is the only very early corn of the
true Bantam type.

We offer a very carefully bred strain of our own growing which is uniformly
early and nearly all eight rowed.

Market growers find Harris’ Extra Early Bantam a very profitable corn
to grow. The fine quality and attractive appearance for such an early corn
makes it a ready seller. The high yield per acre of fine ears which this corn
produces make it a most profitable kind to grow.

Some of our customers report sales of over $350.00 per acre while the later
strain sold for less than half as much. By planting early it is possible to have
the corn ready for use by July 20th in this locality and of course earlier
further south.

Pritchard’s Scarlet Topper Tomato

Also Called “Pritchard”

This new tomato is proving itself to be a grand main crop
variety. It combines in one kind vigor of vine, high yield,
good size, beautiful color, firm meaty fruit and excellent
quality.

The fruits of Pritchard’s Scarlet Top¬
per are medium to large in size, round, of
brilliant red color throughout, thick of
flesh, firm and with but small seed cavi¬
ties. They color perfectly right up to the
top without any hard green spots, and in
our crop which we grew for seed this year
the fruit showed less cracking than any
variety we have ever grown. The quality
is very fine, being mild and free from
acidity. With us this variety matures
only a few days later than the early kinds
such as Bonny Best and John Baer.

The plants are strong and sturdy but
not of rank growth and will produce a
large yield of fine fruit.

Home gardeners should not be without
this valuable kind in their garden. Market
gardeners and growers for roadside stands
where quality counts will find this a
profitable variety to raise.

“Your Harris’ Early Giant pepper is the finest and
heaviest yielding pepper that we have ever grown. Most all
of the plants averaged twenty-five to thirty large peppers.”
Rand & Christensen, Wilson, Conn.

“Last year I picked six bushels of Harris’ Early Giant
pepper which averaged f8-53 peppers per plant. On two
nice plants I obtained one bushel of peppers at one picking.”
Albert Judge, Oak Lawn, R. I.

Harris’ Early Giant Pepper

The Earliest Large Pepper

The plants are of vigorous growth,
being 18 inches to 2 feet high, and
covered from top to bottom with
enormous peppers. These peppers are
so large that only forty-five as picked
from our field filled a bushel crate. It
takes only 21 to fill a If qt. basket.

The peppers are 4 14 in. high and 3 14
in. through. The color is deep green
turning to brilliant red. The flesh is thick and
of a very sweet, pleasant flavor.

This has been found a very valuable pepper
for the home garden and one of the most profit¬
able varieties to grow for market and roadside
sales.

One reason why our strain of this pepper is
earlier and produces larger crops is because the
seed of our strain has always been grown in the
North where the seasons are short. Seed of this variety
grown further south produces larger, later plants with less
fruit.

Since we introduced this variety
some years ago it has now become one
of the most popular peppers in this
country. The reason for this is be¬
cause it produces more large peppers
and produces them earlier than any
other kind.

Be sure to get the true strain by getting your seed of this
valuable pepper from the originators.

Giant Summer
Straiglitnedc. Squash

This new summer squash has now
practically entirely taken the place of
the old crookneck type. It differs from
the old Crookneck only in shape. The
“neck” instead of being curved is
straight.

This new strain is more attractive in
appearance and is much easier to pack
in crates or boxes.

The fruit is of large size, and of clear
light yellow color.

We have succeeded in breeding up a
strain which produces almost all
straight squash and is much superior
to most of the seed which is sold today.

Our crop this year was exceptionally
fine both in quality and large yield.

Harris’ Perfection

The Finest Large Cucumber

We regard this as one of the best cucumbers
for home use and market where a long deep
green cucumber is wanted. The fruit is very
attractive, being dark green with fine white rays
at the blossom end. It is crisp, solid and of the
finest quality. This cucumber retains its color
for a long time after being picked.

We have grown this seed for years and by
careful selection have obtained a strain that is
more uniform than any similar variety we know
of. The fruit will average over 12 inches in
length when mature.

The attractive appearance, deep green color
and uniformity of size makes these cucumbers
sell for a premium on the market and roadside
stand.

Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; V4 lb. 70c; lb. $2.25.

Harris’ Double Yield Pickle

The Earliest Cucumber (See illustration on inside front cover)

This cucumber has been bred up by careful selection for a good many years. It not only produces an
enormous quantity of pickles but they are also of the most desirable shape and quality. By actual count
we find that the Double Yield produces over twice as many pickles as can be picked from an equal
number of vines of any other variety.

The fruit is of medium length, very straight with blunt ends and of medium deep green color.

Those who want to raise either small pickles or “dills” for home use or market will find Harris’ Double
Yield a most excellent variety. It will produce a much larger number of pickles and of better shape than
any other kind we know of.

Double Y ield is the earliest cucumber with which we are acquainted. On this account and because of its
uniform fine shape many gardeners find it profitable to plant to produce large cucumbers before other
kinds have commenced to bear. After a picking or two of cucumbers, the vines will continue to bear and
produce many pickles of the finest type. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 45c; lb. $1.40.

“We ordered Double Yield cucumber last year and they were certainly true to their name. From less than an
ounce of seed we picked over 3000 cucumbers.” Stanley Mahaffy, Salem, N. Y. May 21, 1932.

Harris’ Model — The Whitest and Smoothest Parsnip

We have been improving the old Hollow Crown parsnip by careful selection for many years until we
have obtained a very fine strain which we call “Harris’ Model.”

The parsnips grow to a good length, but not too long. The shape is shown in the photograph repro¬
duced here. The roots are smooth, snow white, and have practically no side roots or prongs. Their
whiteness is quite remarkable and gives the roots a very attractive appearance. This is by far the best
strain of parsnip we have seen. When grown for market they always bring the highest prices.

This is largely due to the fact that our seed of this variety is all grown from transplanted roots and only
the best shaped roots are used. Practically all the parsnip seed grown in this country or Europe is raised
from roots left in the ground where they grew from seed so that no selection is possible. It costs much more
to raise seed from transplanted roots but such seed is worth very much more.

Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; Vi lb. 40c; lb. $1.25.

China Cucumber

China Cucumber — Grow this for FINE QUALITY

This remarkable cucumber from China is of finer quality than any other cucumber we know. The
fruit is very long, often reaching 20 inches in length and only 2 inches through. The skin is bright
green and nearly smooth, the spines being few and small. The flesh is white, firm, remarkably crisp, and
of the very best quality for slicing. The vines are vigorous and healthy. .

If you want really good cucumbers that are solid and crisp raise some China. There is nothing equal
to them for quality except possibly some of the hothouse varieties.

We consider this one of the very best cucumbers for the home garden. On account of its unusual
appearance it is not so desirable for market, but many of our customers find it sells remarkably well at
the roadside stand. Once your customers have tried it, they are sure to come back for more.

Two Famous Varieties of Celery

Salt Fake — The Best Green Celery

This has proved to be the best green celery, both for the home garden
and market.

The stalks are large and the heart is well developed. There are practically
no soft stalks, which is unusual with green celery. This celery blanches
quicker than many green varieties and when blanched is pure white, very
crisp, brittle and of the finest quality.

The firm hard stalks keep well and we highly recommend this new celery
for storage for winter use.

Pkt. 15c; oz. 80c; !/4 lb. $2.55; lb. $8.75.

GOLDEN PLUME — The most reliable golden or self-blanching celery. (See
below) .

SALT LAKE — Rapidly replacing all other varieties of green celery. (See
below).

Golden Plume or W onderf ul Celery

See Colored Photo on Inside Front Cover.

Since the introduction of this variety some years ago it has grown steadily
in popularity until now Golden Plume is the leading yellow celery. It is
without doubt the best of the self blanching types.

Golden Plume is of a vigorous sturdy growth, forming heavy solid stalks
and fine hearts, which blanch quickly and are of very fine quality.

Our strain has proved to be very uniform in color, (without any green
plants), strong and healthy in habit of growth and with no soft stalks. We
can confidently state that no better strain can be obtained, even at much
higher prices. We have grown a crop of celery from this seed and know
what it will do.

Gill’s Early Market

Gill’s Early Market — The Earliest White Sweet Corn

Those who want large sweet corn at the earliest possible date — (and who doesn’t?) should plant
some Gill’s Early Market. By planting this new variety you can enjoy good large ears of fresh
sweet corn a week or ten days earlier than you otherwise would.

It matures earlier than any other kind, with the exception of Golden Gem. Many ears measure 8
inches long and have 12 to 14 rows of pure white kernels. The quality of the corn is excellent for so
early a variety, being better than any other early white kind we know of.

This is really a remarkable achievement in corn breeding. Hitherto all very early kinds have had
small ears and rather poor quality, but the Gill’s Early Market has ears as large as many much
later kinds and quality which compares well with them.

Market Growers have found this a very profitable corn as it can be put on the market before any
other variety of anywhere near its size. NORTHERN GROWN SEED OF HIGH VITALITY:
Pkt. 10c; 1/2 lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 70c; 6 lbs. $1.70 postpaid. By freight: 12 lbs. $2.30;

“I had some of your Gill’s Early Market sweet corn last year and I think it is the earliest of all sweet
corn. I liked it very much.” Mrs. Frank Metzler, Somerset, Pa. May 12, 1932.

Golden Early Market (Gill’s)

Also called Golden Hummer, Extra Early Golden, Extra Early Yellow

and several other names.

This new corn is much of the same character as Gill’s Early Market (White) and is altogether
a very fine extra early yellow corn. To those who want an early yellow with large ears we can
recommend this variety.

The ears are of good size 12 row, 7 to 8 in. long, well filled with broad butter yellow kernels. The
quality is very good but not quite equal to Extra Early Bantam.

This corn is one of the best extra early varieties being ready with us about the same time as
Extra Early Bantam, and earlier than any corn with such large ears.

There are many stocks of this corn on the market under a great variety of names. We obtained
our stock seed direct from the originators and have grown a crop this year here in Monroe county
in order to be sure to have the true strain.

Whipple’s Yellow Sweet Corn

The Largest Early Yellow Variety

Since we introduced this corn in 1920 it has become wonderfully
popular and deservedly so. During the past twelve years we have
seen our sales of this variety grow from a few hundred pounds to
many tons of seed annually.

The ears are twice as large as Golden Bantam and mature two
to three days earlier. There is no yellow corn with anywhere near
as large ears that matures as early as Whipple’s Yellow. The ears
are 8 to 9 in. long and have 14 to 18 rows of deep yellow kernels of
very fine quality. The stalks grow quite tall and often produce
two large ears of nearly equal size.

Growers have found this variety to be one of the most profitable
varieties of sweet corn to raise for market. The big handsome ears
are as yellow as butter and always command the highest prices.
It matures so early that it can be put on the market a day or two
before Golden Bantam.

We take great pains in selecting our stock of this corn and have
spent much effort in improving it both in size and earliness since
we first introduced it.

Harris’ Earliest — The Earliest Pepper

Those who have difficulty in raising sweet peppers should try
Harris’ Earliest. Harris’ Earliest always produces a good crop of
peppers even in unfavorable seasons when other kinds produce
only a big growth of plants and leaves, but very few peppers.

In an average season Harris’ Earliest will produce three times as
many peppers as any other sweet kind and they mature much
earlier. For the Northern parts of the country where the larger
and later kinds do not mature this is the only large sweet pepper
that will surely produce a good crop every season. We often get a
lot of ripe (red) peppers the first part of August. Of course there
are plenty of green peppers on the plants before that date.

The plants are only a foot or 18 inches high and usually produce
so many peppers that they hardly seem able to support them, so
thickly are they clustered all over the plant. We have counted as
many as 20 on a plant. The peppers are of medium size, 3k£ to 4
inches high and 2H to 3 inches in diameter, and of very mild, sweet
flavor.

If you want peppers and lots of them plant Harris’ Earliest.

Be sure to get Northern grown seed. It may cost a little more but
the results will repay you many times over. Southern grown seed
can be raised at a much less cost than the northern grown seed we
offer, but it does not give as good results. We offer pedigree
seed of our own raising.

Pkt. 12c; oz. 65c; »/4 lb. $1.90; lb. $6.60.

Buttercup Sweet Corn

Sweeter than Golden Bantam— the Ears are Larger

This is the sweetest corn we have ever eaten and it is deliciously
succulent and tender.

The ears are of good length (8 to 10 inches) and have 8 to 10 rows
of large kernels of a rich “June butter” yellow. The Buttercup
contains more sugar than any variety we have tried. Some people
think it is almost too sweet. It is medium early, maturing the
same time as Golden Bantam and is more prolific.

For market Buttercup is a very profitable corn. There is always
a good demand for yellow sweet corn, and the large attractive ears
of the Buttercup command a premium over other kinds. If you
grow for the Roadside Trade, you should have Buttercup. The
long attractive ears sell on sight and people come back for more.

We advise all our customers who appreciate good sweet corn to
give the “Buttercup” a place in their gardens this season.

Pkt. 10c; 1/2 lb. 25c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 70c; 6 lbs. $1.65 postpaid.

“We think Buttercup corn the best we ever ate.” Mrs. A. R.
Robinson, Ogden, Utah. April 23, 1932.

“I am more than satisfied with your seeds. I am already picking
green and ripe peppers from your Harris’ Earliest.” E. F. Dommer,
Morehead, Minn. Aug. 31, 1932.

Quality Squash

We call this squash “Quality” because of its delicious quality when cooked.

It is not a large squash nor more prolific than other kinds, but the “real test of a pudding is in
the eating,” and so it is with the squash. After eating this kind we are quite sure all will agree
with us that it is the best squash they have ever eaten. The thick orange yellow flesh cooks
as dry as a good sweet potato, and is sweeter and finer flavored than any other kind we
know of.

The fruit is of medium size, weighing from 5 to 10 pounds, a very convenient size for family
use. The shape is peculiar to this variety as shown in the accompanying photograph. The
outside shell is green, thin and hard, while the flesh is very thick, deep orange in color, fine
grained, sweet and delicious.

It is a winter squash and will keep a long time. Everyone who appreciates squash of high
quality should try some of this kind.

The present trend toward smaller squash of high quality both in city markets and at road¬
side stands make this a profitable kind to grow. These attractive dark green squash find a
rGcidy s£i1g

Long Standing Bloomsdale Spinach

Long Standing
Bloomsdale Spinach

This is a wonderful improvement
over the old Norfolk Savoy or Blooms¬
dale spinach. It not only grows larger
but stands ten days to two weeks
longer without bolting.

The leaves are very large, thick and
heavy, deep green in color, very much
crumpled and of the best quality. On
account of the large size of the leaves
it will yield twice as much as the older
kinds.

Market gardeners have found this
one of the most profitable varieties for
market on account of its heavy yield
and handsome appearance. Home
gardeners find this kind a most satis¬
factory spinach to grow. You can cut
fine spinach over a period of several
weeks from one sowing.

We have an unusually fine strain.

Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; Vi lb. 15c; lb. 45c.

Blue Hubbard Squash

This variety which was selected from the original Hubbard
has rapidly found for itself a place among the leading market
varieties of squash and in many markets far outsells the older
green varieties.

The fruit is of an attractive blue-gray color similar type to the
old Hubbard but more warted. The shell is very hard, making
this squash an extremely good keeper. The flesh is thick; of deep
yellow color and of fine flavor and texture.

We have developed a very fine strain here on Moreton Farm. It
is a very heavy yielder and is more true to color and uniform in
type than any other strain we have ever seen. In our ten acre
field which we grew for seed this year there were actually not more than
half a dozen rogues ( green squash) in the whole field!

It is a pleasure to be able to offer Blue Hubbard of such high
purity. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; Vi lb. 85c; lb. $2.75.

“Last year I ordered some of Harris’ Seeds and I will say that they
gave me the best results of all seeds I ever purchased.”

Joseph Kozel, Bohemia, L. I., N. Y. Apr. 21, 1932.

Nobel Giant Leaved Spinach

This new spinach has proved a remarkably fine variety both for
home and market.

This spinach is very early. It is so large and grows so rapidly
that it can be cut before the other kinds are ready. It will stand a
long time without bolting to seed, even if the weather becomes hot
and dry.

The leaves are nearly twice as large as other kinds, handsome
dark green in color and quite thick and well crumpled.

Harris’ Early Stone Tomatoes

John Baer Tomato — Special Strain

The John Baer tomato has long been one of the most reliable sorts for market
and canning and large acreages are grown for this purpose each year.

This tomato produces immense crops of large, smooth, handsome tomatoes. The
vines are strong and vigorous. The fruit is large and produced in great clusters, and
is early enough to ripen the whole crop before frost in a normal season.

The tomatoes are uniformly of good large size, perfectly smooth and regular and of a
bright rich scarlet color without any green around the stem. The fruit is very free
from cracks and not subject to black rot.

We have improved our stock of John Baer by careful selection so that it is now even
better than when first introduced. We find by carefully conducted trials and from
reports of large growers and canners that our strain of John Baer is fully equal to any
stock of this variety obtainable and far superior to most of them.

The seed we offer is of our own growing on Moreton Farm and will be found of the
very highest quality in every way.

Pkt. 12c; oz. 50c; Vi lb. $1.45; lb. $4.75.

Macomber Turnip

A Ruta Baga of Exceptional Quality

We have found this Swede Turnip or Ruta Baga of very much finer quality for table
use than any other we have ever tried. Ruta Bagas are often rather coarse, but the
Macomber is as sweet and fine grained as a good squash. We have never tasted a
turnip of any kind of such fine quality as this.

The turnips are white with purplish green tops; they are large, smooth, round and
handsome with practically no neck.

The flesh is white, fine grained, sweet and of mild flavor. They will keep all winter
and remain in fine condition for the table if properly stored.

We highly recommend this turnip for the home garden or market where quality is
appreciated. This excellent variety finds ready sales at the roadside market.

To get the best results the seed should be sown about the middle or last of June in
the Northern states. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Vi lb. 70c; lb. $2.25.

Harris’ Larly Stone Tomato

The Stone has been considered for many years one
of the very best tomatoes on account of its firmness
and lack of acidity.

By raising the seed in this northern latitude and
making selections with special reference to earliness we
have obtained a strain that ripens almost as early as
Bonny Best and John Baer and at the same time has
retained the good qualities of the Stone.

The vines are sturdy and prolific bearing an
abundance of fine fruit. The fruit is smooth, deep red
thruout, very solid and firm and very sweet.

For canning.it is important to get a variety that is
not acid and for this reason the Stone is especially valu¬
able for this purpose. Canners who saw our seed crop of
Stone tomatoes on Moreton Farm this year were very
enthusiastic over its fine quality and yield.

We are glad to recommend this variety for the home garden
and roadside markets where “quality counts."

Pkt. 12c; oz. 50c; Vi lb. $1.35; lb. $4.50.

Harris’ Success Tomato

This is one of the best all around tomatoes that we know of.
Although but a little later than Bonny Best and John Baer, the
fruit is larger and like Stone. It is of the finest quality for cooking
or canning, being much sweeter and more free from acidity than
most other kinds. The vines are very vigorous and produce
enormous crops of very large, handsome fruit of the best quality.

Growers of green tomatoes for pickles will find
this variety especially valuable as the fruit is
very solid, of good color and free from blemish
at the blossom end. This is a most satisfactory
variety to have in the home garden. Pkt. 12c;
oz. 50c; l/4 lb. $1.35; lb. $4.50.

Turnip

“Macomber Turnips are the best turnips I ever raised, they are a wonderful keeper.” H. J. Harper, Brook¬

Lettuce — NewYork or W onderf ul No. 12

You Can Grow “Iceberg” in Your Own Garden

The New York lettuce is the variety which is raised in California and shipped to Eastern markets as
"Iceberg.” The heads are so firm, crisp and white that they have almost driven other kinds out of the
markets. It has been hard to raise really good heads of this lettuce in the East because it requires cool
weather which it gets in California during the winter. This new strain which we are offering matures earlier
than the old strain and is better adapted to Eastern conditions of climate. With this strain fine heads can
be raised in almost any locality either early in the spring or in the late summer or fall.

The heads are almost perfectly round, quite solid and very crisp and of large size when properly grown on
well fertilized ground. This lettuce should be grown only on upland as none of this type will succeed on muck.

Vegetable Seeds

GENERAL LIST

The prices in this list include delivery by parcel post or other¬
wise, except as noted. See page 4-

Half ounces of seed priced at 30 cents or more per ounce are sup¬
plied at the ounce rate. No half ounces of seed priced under 30 cts.
per ounce can be supplied.

Directions for Cultivation. In order to help you make your
garden a success, we have issued a pamphlet called “Cultivation of
Vegetables and Flowers,” which will be sent free with all orders
amounting to $1.00 or more, if requested.

Spargel (Ger.) Asparagus Sparagio (It.)

One ounce of seed will sow 75 feet of row and produce about 250 plants.

From Seeds. To raise asparagus from seed the seed should be sown early
in the spring. The plants should be set in the permanent bed when one or two
years old. The asparagus may be cut the third year after setting out the
roots.

MARY WASHINGTON. There are several strains of Asparagus originated
by Prof. Norton, of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. The original
strain was called Washington. Mary Washington is a selection from this
strain. The Mary Washington is considered the best strain, as the shoots
are larger and grow more rapidly than the other kinds. This variety is so
vigorous that seedlings grow considerably larger the first year and can
easily be distinguished when growing by the side of other varieties by their
taller growth. The stalks are very thick and grow unusually tall without
branching. The color is deep green with purple tips. This variety is rust
resistant to a considerable extent.

This is decidedly the best variety for either the home garden or commercial
planting. Pkt. 10c; oz. 15c; *4 lb. 45c; lb. $1.40.

Asparagus Roots

There is nothing so important about raising asparagus as the quality of the
roots. The majority of roots sold are small and stunted. People who do not
know what really good roots look like, accept these worthless things, and of
course do not get good results, and think they cannot raise asparagus. As a
matter of fact if they got really well grown roots they would have no trouble
in establishing a good bed which would yield an abundance of large shoots
every year.

To start a bed it is only necessary to set out the roots on good soil and give
them ordinary care to keep weeds down, etc. No special preparation of the
land is necessary. It should be prepared as for planting potatoes and should
be made rich by applying a heavy dressing of manure, which should be plowed
or spaded in. The roots are set out 18 to 24 inches apart in the rows which
should be 4 feet apart. 100 roots make a good bed, but more should be set
out for a large family. Cutting may commence the third year after setting
out the roots. A small cutting may be made the second year if not continued
more than two weeks.

MARY WASHINGTON. The best strain of “Washington” asparagus.

One year roots: doz. 50c ; 50 roots, $1.75; 100 roots, $2.50 postpaid. By ex¬
press, 100 roots, $2.00 (weight 9 lbs.) 1000 roots $8.50.

We recommend one year asparagus roots. They are usually more
healthy and vigorous, and will make a better bed.

A Collection of Vegetables — For the Home Garden

We have put up ready to mail, a collection of vegetable seed for the
home garden, at a much reduced price. This collection contains only high
grade seeds and will give one an excellent variety of vegetables in the
home garden. Seepage 44.

Mary Washington Asparagus

Artichoke

Artichoke (Ger.) Carciofo (It.)

Large Green Globe. The French or Globe Artichoke is largely
used as a vegetable and is entirely different from the tuberous or
Jerusalem Artichoke. The Globe Artichoke is a perennial and
produces the flower buds which are used for food the second year
after sowing the seed. North of Virginia the plants require protec¬
tion in winter. The seed is sown early in the spring. Cover the
crowns of the plants with a mound of coal ashes as soon as the
ground freezes. Pkt. 12c; oz. 55c; )4 lb. $1.60; lb. $5.50.

Jerusalem. Grown for the tubers which are used as a vegetable
and somewhat resemble potatoes. The tubers can be dug in the
fall and stored in sand. They can then be used as wanted. Plant
the tubers in rows 3 ft. apart and 20 in. apart in the row. Plant
in the spring. They require very little attention. They cannot
be raised from seed. Tubers: lb. 30c; 2 lbs. (about a quart) 50c;
8 lbs. (4 qts.) $1.35 postpaid.

Note — These tubers will be sent in the spring at proper time for
planting.

Broccoli

ITALIAN GREEN SPROUTING (CALABRESE ) . This delicious
vegetable has lately become very popular in this country. The
flavor somewhat resembles Cauliflower but is much more delicate.
We offer the best strain obtainable. See illustration and full de¬
scription on page 9. Pkt. 15c; H oz. 30c; oz. 85c; lb. $2.40.

Brussels Sprouts

Rosenkohl (Ger.) Cavolo di Brussels (It.)

One ounce of seed will produce about 3000 plants, a packet 300 plants

This delicious vegetable has become very popular in nearly all
markets. It should be more largely grown in home gardens, as it
affords fresh green sprouts in the late fall and winter when other
vegetables are gone. It is easy to grow, being cultivated like cabbage
Sow the seed in the open ground in May and set out the plants in the
middle of June 2 feet apart. The sprouts that grow along the stem
are picked off and cooked like cabbage or cauliflower and are of very
delicate flavor. The sprouts are of better quality after having been
frozen, so the plants may be left in the open ground until December
in the north and practically all winter south of New Jersey.

Plants. We can furnish Brussels Sprouts plants at proper time for
transplanting. See under “Vegetable Plants,” page 45.

LONG ISLAND IMPROVED DWARF, Special Stock. It is usual¬
ly hard to get a strain of Brussels Sprouts that yield well in this
country. The growers on Long Island have bred up a strain that
yields more than three times as many large solid sprouts as any
other strain or variety we have grown. The plants of the Long
Island strain do not grow very tall but they are covered from the
ground up with large solid sprouts. See also page 8. Pkt. 15c;
oz. 65c; Pi lb. $2.00; lb. $7.00.

Bohnen (Ger.) BeailS Faginoli (It.) 19

Note— Beans in quantities of 100 lbs. or more will be sent by freight, prepaid, to any railroad station in the United States. See page 4.

Dwarf or Bush Varieties

A “packet” of bush beans will plant 20 feet of row, a pound 150 feet. 1 lb. is equal to a pint, 2 lbs. 1 qt., 15 lbs. a peck.

Being of the easiest culture and taking little room there is no Plant in rows 2to2H feet apart, dropping the seed 2 inches apart,
more valuable crop for the home garden than “snap” or “string” ?r in groups of 3 or 4 at intervals of a foot in the row which makes

r & hoeing easier. Do not plant until the ground is warm. In New York

ued'u^5• - — State and New England about May 10th to 20th is early enough.

Wax or Butter Beans

Pencil Pod Black Wax is one of the best round podded beans and
is but a few days later than Webber Wax which is the earliest wax
bean. Wardwell’s Kidney Wax is early and has long flat pods of the
highest quality. Sure Crop Wax is an improvement on the old
Currie’s Rust Proof and has longer pods which are entirely stringless.
Davis White Wax is medium early with pods resembling Wardwell’s,
but not of as good quality.

PENCIL POD BLACK WAX . The Best Round Podded Wax
Bean. We consider this the best round pod wax bean both for
home use and market. The pods are 6 to 7 inches long, straight
and as round as a pencil. The pods are clear yellow in color, very
brittle, stringless and of the finest quality. Matures early and the
plant is vigorous and productive. The seed is black. Pkt. 10c;

FRENCH HORTICULTURAL. Selected Strain. Although a week or ten days later than
Ruby Dwarf Horticultural, this bean is valuable because it produces larger crops and the pods
are large and handsome, being heavily covered with bright red pods when matured. The vines
grow 2 feet tall and produce immense crops. Our stock of this variety is of our ow_n_selection and
growing is very fine, having long pods splashed with bright red color

Lima Beans — Dwarf or Bush

A pound of seed will plant about 1 5 0 feet of row , a packet 20 feet.

Bush Limas are more easily raised than the pole varieties but do not yield as much. These
beans seem to bear better on heavy clay soil than on sand. The land should not be too rich.
Do not plant these beans until the soil is warm and dry as the seed is apt to rot. The seed
should be planted in rows 3 feet apart and dropped two in a place a foot or 18 inches apart.

FORDHOOK. The Best Dwarf Lima. This is the earliest of the large podded dwarf
limas. The pods are of good size and filled with four to five plump thick beans. The
beans are green in color and of the finest quality. The vines grow upright and are extreme¬
ly vigorous and productive. This is the best dwarf variety for the home garden and those
who prefer the thick “potato” Limas will find this strain far superior to any other. It is
the most popular and profitable variety to raise for market where the beans are sold in the
pods Pkt. 12c; y2 lb. 30c; lb. 50c; 2 lbs. 90c; 7 y2 lbs. $3.25 postpaid. By freight:
15 lbs. $4.80; 60 lbs. (bu.) $18.00; 100 lbs. $30.00.

BURPEE’S IMPROVED BUSH LIMA. This strain of Burpee's Bush Lima has beans of
larger size and deeper green color than the old strain and the vines aie more true to the
bush form with fewer runners. The beans are both larger and thicker than the old form,
and the pods are also larger. Pkt. 10c; y2 lb. 25c ; lb. 45c ; 2 lbs . 80c ; 7 y lbs. $2.55 postpaid.
By freight: 15 lbs. $3.75; 60 lbs. (bu.) $13.80; 100 lbs. $23.00.

Burpee’s Bush Lima, WONDER STRAIN. This improved strain
bears larger crops and is earlier than the old and original variety.

The beans are large, flat and of fine quality. This is one of the
earliest large podded bush Limas. Pkt. 10c; y2 lb. 25c; lb. 40c;

60 lbs. (bu.) $12.60; 100 lbs. $21.00.

Henderson’s Bush Lima. Small, early and prolific; not of quite as
fine quality as Burpee's Bush and Fordhook, but much hardier,
earlier, and more easily raised. This variety is used largely by
canners to produce “Baby Limas." Pkt. 10c; y lb. 20c; Lb. 35c;

60 lbs. (bu.) $9.60; 100 lbs. $16.00.

Lima Beans — Pole Varieties

These Limas require some support for the vines to climb on. Poles 6 to 7 feet long answer very well, but if
not available a neat and cheap trellis can be made by placing a strong post at each end of the row and running a
strong fence wire at top and bottom. Strings are then run from one wire to the other forming a support for the
vines. The string is run back and forth from one wire to the other without tying or cutting. The wire should
be drawn tight and the end posts braced in some way. Plant 2 to 3 seeds in a place about a foot apart.

IDEAL. Mammoth Podded Pole Lima. We consider this the very best of the pole limas. The pods are im¬
mense often 7 inches long and containing 6 large beans of fine quality. The vines are very vigorous and
prolific and the beans mature only about one week later than the bush limas. Pkt. 10c; y2 lb. 25c; lb. 40c;

Challenger Lima. (Pole Potato Lima.) This is an improved strain of the old Dreer’s or Potato Lima. The
beans are plump, very thick but not quite as large as the flat type such as Ideal. Pkt. 10c ; y lb. 25c ; lb. 40c ;
2 lbs. 70c; 7 y lbs. $2.45 postpaid. By freight: 15 lbs. $3.60; 60 lbs. (bu.) $12.60; 100 lbs. $21.00.

Other Pole Beans

A packet will plant about 20 ft. of row or 15 hills. 1 lb. will plant 100 hills.

Although not always necessary most of these varieties do best if given some support for the vines.

SCOTIA. See illustration on page 7. If you want the very best, most tender and delicious “string beans,”

Kentucky Wonder. (Also called “Old Homestead .”) The pods are very long, round, light green, entirely
stringless and of high quality. The vines are enormously productive, the pods hanging in great clusters
which can be gathered by the handful. These beans mature quite early, being among the earliest of the pole
varieties. The quality is extremely fine but we think not quite equal to Scotia. This is a very popular bean
for the home garden as well as for market. Pkt. 10c; y lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 lbs. 60c; 7 y lbs. $2.00 postpaid.
By freight: 15 lbs. $2.70; 60 lbs. (bu.) $9.00; 100 lbs. $15.00.

King Horticultural. (Called also Worcester Pole) An improved Speckled Cranberry bean with larger

Kentucky Wonder Wax. Like the Kentucky Wonder except that the pods are yellow instead of green. This
is the best pole bean with wax or yellow pods we know of. It is early, very prolific, and the pods are long,
bright yellow, perfectly stringless when young, and of fine quality. Pkt. 10c; y lb. 2 5c; lb. 40c; 2 lbs. 70c;

upon the size of the beans. Plant 60 to 75 lbs. to the acre.

IMPERIAL or Prolific Tree Bean. White kidney-shaped beans
much like White Kidney but slightly smaller. Like that variety
the beans are of exceptionally fine quality for baking. We con¬
sider the Imperial makes the best baked beans of any kind we
have tried. The vines are of strong, upright growth, resistant to
disease and produce heavy crops. Hence the name “Prolific
Tree” Bean. The pods are 4 to 5 inches long and well filled. We
strongly advise raising these beans for home use, as they are of
fine quality when baked. Pkt. 10c; J4 lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 2 ibs. 60c;

ROBUST PEA BEAN. An improved strain of Marrow Pea beans
which resists the Mosaic disease that is often very destructive to
the ordinary type of this variety. We find that the yield from
Robust is nearly twice as large as from common Marrow pea
beans. In other respects the beans are the same. The beans are
small, round, pure white and of good quality. Pkt. 10c; 34 lb. 20c;

Beets

Barbabietole (It.)

One ounce of seed will sow 60 feet of row, a packet, 15 feet. Ten pounds will sow an acre in rows 18 inches apart.

Beets are easily grown and are one of the most satisfactory
vegetables to grow in the home garden. A few rows in the garden
will give you fresh tender beets throughout the season. Beets can
be sown in the spring, and again a few weeks later for a succession.

It is an excellent plan to sow some in July for use in the fall. These
young beets can be put in a pit or root cellar and covered with sand,
and will keep in nice, tender condition for use in winter.

Note — We do not supply half ounces of seed , the price of which is less
than 30c per ounce.

CROSBY S EGYPTIAN. Harris Special Strain. See page 8.

This is the best beet for early use both for home and market. We
offer the finest bred strain of this variety. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c;

CROSBY’S EGYPTIAN. Bright Red Strain. This strain is of
lighter and brighter red than our Special Strain and is popular in
some markets. The beets are of fine uniform shape and mature
very early. The quality of these beets is very fine making them a
most excellent kind for the home garden. Pkt. 8c; Oz. 12c;

Harvesting our crop of Crosby’s Egyptian Beets
at Moreton Farm

These beets are stored and will be set out for seed crop in 1933.

EARLY WONDER. This beet closely resembles a good strain of Crosby’s
Egyptian. The beets are dark red and have small tops and make an excellent
beet for early bunching. Our strain is very fine. It seems to us superior to any
strain from other growers which we have had in our trials. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c;

Egyptian Blood Turnip. This is the old strain of Egyptian beet, having flat
beets of very dark red color. This variety is used by many gardeners for forcing
and early sowing in the open ground, as it grows rapidly and makes a nice
bunching beet of good color and shape very early. The quality of the beets for
table use is not as fine as some others. Pkt. 8c; Oz. 12c; M Lb. 30c; Lb. 90c.

Cabbage

Cavolo capucci (It.)

One ounce of seed will produce 1500 to 2000 plants sown in open ground, or 3000 if sown in frames;
a packet about 250 plants. It requires 4 to 6 ounces of seed to produce plants for an acre of ground.

Early Varieties of Cabbage. Golden Acre is the earliest variety,
Copenhagen Market, Large Late Copenhagen and Enkhuizen Glory are later
and larger. Early Jersey Wakefield is the earliest variety with pointed
heads.

Late or Main-Crop Varieties. Danish Ballhead is now most exten¬
sively planted for fall and winter shipping, and is very profitable on good
land and under favorable conditions, but it does not yield as much as
some of the domestic or flat varieties. It does not succeed south of Penn¬
sylvania. Harris’ Ballhead is the best strain of Danish cabbage. Mid¬
season Market makes large, firm, round heads and yields very large crops.
Volga produces large solid heads and grows so fast that it can be set out
late and will produce immense crops.

It has been found profitable in many cases to plant early varieties of
round cabbage for fall market. They produce medium size, hard heads,
which are preferred in market to the larger heads of the late varieties.
Copenhagen is excellent for this purpose. It can be set out as late as
August 1st on good land.

Savoy and Sleaford Market cabbage are of the finest quality and should
be included in every home garden.

Red cabbage is used for pickling and is often very profitable to raise
for market. Mammoth Rock Red is the best variety.

NOTE: We cannot supply half ounces seed, the price of which is
less than 30c per ounce.

Golden Acre Cabbage

Methods of Culture. To get very early cabbage in the Northern
states the seed should be sown in hot-beds in February or March, or
about six weeks before the ground outside is ready to receive the
plants. For the home garden it is often more satisfactory to buy a
few dozen plants for early cabbage. For medium early crop, the
seed of early kinds like Copenhagen Market or Golden Acre may be
sown in the open ground as early as possible and the plants trans¬

planted as soon as large enough. They will give cabbage ready for
use in August if the land is rich and well cultivated. For the late
crop the seed should be sown in the Northern states about May 20,
and the plants set out July 1. Seed of early varieties may be sown as
late as June 10, and will mature a good crop. For late sowing Large
Late Copenhagen and Enkhuizen Glory are good.

Early and Medium Early Varieties

GOLDEN ACRE. The Earliest Cabbage. Matures earlier than
any other kind we have ever grown. In our trial grounds it headed
a week earlier than Jersey Wakefield and two weeks earlier
than Copenhagen Market, which it resembles in other respects.

The heads are of medium size, 4 to 5 lbs., as round as a ball and
very firm. The plant is of dwarf compact growth with but few
leaves so the plants may be set close together. Practically every
plant makes a perfect head and all the heads mature at very nearly
the same time.

Owing to its earliness, uniformity and fine quality and appear¬
ance, this cabbage has proved to be one of the most profitable
market varieties for the early crop. Pkt. 10c ; Oz. 45c ; 34 Lb. $1.25;
Lb. $4.10.

GOLDEN ACRE — Special. The best strain of Golden Acre
obtainable. This strain is the earliest and most uniform in type
of any strain we have ever seen. We particularly recommend it
to growers who want the earliest and best. Pkt. 15c; Oz. 80c; 34 Lb.
$2.65; Lb. $9.25.

Early Jersey Wakefield. The standard early cabbage with pointed
heads. The heads are of good size, and very compact. Our strain
is very early and practically all the plants produce heads of the
correct shape and they mature almost at the same time. Pkt. 10c;
Oz. 25c; M Lb- 75c; Lb. $2.60.

SLEAFORD MARKET

This cabbage is of such superior quality that it is as delicate
in flavor as Brussel Sprouts. The heads mature early, are
of medium size, pointed and do not get very hard. On ac¬
count of its superior quality this cabbage should be in every
home garden. Pkt. 12c; oz. 50c; Vi lb. $1.25.

COPENHAGEN MARKET. This early round head cabbage is a
little later than Golden Acre but has larger heads. It is as round
as a ball, very compact, with few outside leaves.

This cabbage heads very uniformly; practically every plant
making a good firm head. This is a profitable cabbage to grow
for market and an excellent early variety for the home garden.

This variety is largely grown for kraut and is excellent for this
purpose. The heads are of fine quality, tender and without coarse¬
ness. We can now offer a very fine strain that heads uniformly
early and is very compact. Pkt. 10c ; Oz. 30c ; 34 Lb. 90c ; Lb. $3.10.

ENKHUIZEN GLORY. This cabbage is one of the best varieties
for medium early or main crop. The heads are as large as the late
kinds weighing 8 to 10 pounds, and mature earlier, being only a
week later than Copenhagen Market. We are able to offer a very
fine strain of this cabbage; we know of none better. Enkhuizen
Glory has proved a most profitable variety both for market and
kraut. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 34 Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.35.

Burpee’s All Head Early. Medium early; large solid flat heads, and
of compact growth. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; 34 Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.60.

MIDSEASON MARKET. This variety is one of the heaviest
yielding kinds with which we are acquainted. It is a midseason
variety, maturing but a little later than Enkhuizen Glory and
about the same time as All Head Early. The heads are round,
deep, very firm and of good size, averaging 8 to 10 lbs. when well
grown. They are remarkably uniform in shape and even in size.
(See photo on opposite page). The plants are of vigorous growth
with short stems and round leaves of rather light green color. The
seed we offer is very fine, practically every plant makes a good
solid head.

We highly recommend this fine cabbage for market, kraut and
home use. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; 34 Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.35.

Red Cabbage

Red cabbage is always in demand for pickling and it usually sells
for more in the markets than white cabbage. If really good seed is
used there is no reason why Red cabbage should not yield nearly as
much as Danish Ballhead and prove much more profitable.

MAMMOTH ROCK RED. This is the largest and best of the red
varieties. The seed we offer produces fine, large, solid heads of
good color and practically every plant will produce a good head
under favorable conditions. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; 34 Lb. 90c ; Lb. $3. 10.

Tested Cabbage Seed

Harris’ Cabbage seed is all carefully tested for germination
before it is sent out and the per cent which grows marked on each
package. This enables the grower to know how much seed to sow
in order to have the plants neither too thick nor too thin.

SAVOY CABBAGE

Perfection Drumhead Savoy. Savoy Cabbage is of much finer
quality than ordinary cabbage and should be raised more generally
than it is. Without doubt this cabbage should have a place inevery
home garden and it has become very popular in markets and road¬
side stands for fall and early winter use.

Crop Varieties

HARRIS’ BALLHEAD, (Short Stemmed.) This new variety is the
most uniform strain of deep heading Danish cabbage which we
know of. This special strain has been very carefully bred on our
own farm for several years. The heads are extremely hard and of
good size. It is deeper in shape than most other strains and will
give a large tonnage of fine cabbage per acre. Seed of our own
growing. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 60c; % Lb. $1.85; Lb. $6.25.

DANISH BALLHEAD Short Stem. Also called “Danish Round-
head.’’ This is a heavy yielding strain. The heads are large, very

Blumenkohl (Ger.) Cauliflower Cavoloflore (It.)

One ounce of seed will produce 1500 to 2000 plants in open ground, or about 3000 in frames; a packet will produce 150 plants.

There is no difficulty in getting fine
large heads of first class quality when
the plants are set out in June or early
July so that the heads form in October.
If weather and soil conditions are nor¬
mal the seed should be sown in open
ground or cold frames about the middle
of May or first of June on good soil.
When plants are large enough, trans¬
plant in rich, moist soil. Care must be
taken that the plants do not become
checked in growth, as that will cause
them to head prematurely.

Snowball Cauliflower

ITALIAN PURPLE. See page 11. This cauliflower is of the
finest quality. The heads are deep purple on top which changes
to an attractive green when cooked. Pkt. 20c; yi Oz. 55c; Oz.

$1.85; pi Lb. $6.50.

SNOWBALL, Perfected Strain. Although an early variety, the
Snowball is most excellent for late or main crop as well as for forc¬
ing and summer use. We have a very fine improved strain of the
true Snowball type. The plant is dwarf and compact and the
heads are large, solid, snow white, and with no protruding leaves
when well grown under average conditions. Matures early but
usually the best heads are obtained from plants set out rather
late.

The seed we offer is the very finest strain obtainable, 95 per cent
of the plants make good heads. There is no use in paying more for
the seed than we charge, as no better seed can be obtained at any
price. This is the plain truth which anyone can prove who will
take the trouble to try our seed side by side with seed costing twice
as much. Pkt. 20c ; yi Oz. 55c; Oz. $1 .85 ; yi Lb. $6.50 ; Lb. $23.00.

CATSKILL SNOWBALL. This fine strain of Snowball is grown
most extensively in the Catskill Mountain region. It matures early
and the heads are very compact and uniform. Pkt. 20c; yi Oz. 55c;

ERFURT EARLY DWARF. Madsen’s Stock No. 3. Much like
Snowball, but has somewhat shorter stems and matures a little
earlier. It is very reliable in regard to heading and the heads are
solid and compact. This strain has proved the best in several
trials made in New York State. Pkt. 20c; yi Oz. 55c; Oz. $1.85;
yi Lb. $6.50; Lb. $23.00.

Danish Perfection. A fine strain of Snowball Cauliflower maturing
a week or 10 days later than that variety. As the plants produce
more leaves than the common Snowball, the heads are better pro¬
tected from both sun and frost. The heads are very firm, solid and
snow white and practically every plant will make a good head
under favorable conditions. Pkt. 20c; yi Oz. 60c; Oz. $1.90;
yi Lb. $6.75; Lb. $24.00.

Danish Giant or “Dry Weather.” This strain of Snowball Cauli¬
flower is especially valuable for high ground, as it is more vigorous
than the Early Snowball, and stands dry weather better. The heads
are a little larger than Snowball and mature a week or two later
and have more leaves to protect them from the sun and frost.

Chihli Pe-Tsai Wong Bok

Chinese Cakba^e also called “Celery Cabbage”

An ounce of seed will sow fO to 50 feet of row, a packet 3 feet.

This vegetable is from China, and is becoming increasingly popular every year. II
belongs to the cabbage family but looks like Cos Lettuce. The large mid-ribs of the
leaves are perfectly white and very crisp and tender. It is excellent when used as e
salad, being of a very delicate flavor slightly resembling raw cabbage but more
delicious.

Chinese cabbage has proved a very profitable crop for muck land. There is a good
demand for it in New York and other large markets in carload lots.

The seed should be sown not earlier than the first of July in rows 2 lA feet apart, anc
the plants thinned 18 to 20 inches apart in the rows. If sown early it soon runs tc
seed and is useless. The crop matures in eight to ten weeks.

Carrots have long been recognized as one of the most healthful vege¬
tables grown, and now since the introduction of such varieties as Tender-
sweet, Red Cored Chantenay, Perfection, Coreless etc., our ideas of
how carrots taste have been greatly changed. Grow some of these high
quality kinds and you will find carrots to be a really delicious vegetable.
A few rows will supply all you want, as you can thin out the small ones for
early use and let the rest grow for fall and winter.

Carrots can be sown from early spring to the middle of summer. The
earlier they are sown the larger the crop as a rule, but late sowings produce
nice carrots for table use or market in the fall. These young carrots are
delicious.

Carrots for Fall. If Coreless Carrots are sown in August and not thinned
too much they will make carrots about the size of one's finger for fall use.
These are extremely delicious either cooked whole with butter sauce, or
scraped and served raw.

Carrots for Feeding. Carrots are of a high value for feeding cows,
horses and sheep, and as very large crops can be grown on a small piece of
ground, it pays remarkably well to raise at least a small plot of them every
year. They are of great benefit to cows and horses in the fall and winter.
One of the best varieties for this purpose is Danvers Half-Long. A larger
yield can be obtained by sowing Mastodon or White Vosges. The carrots,
however, are white, and most people prefer the yellow kinds.

TENDERSWEET. See page 9. This new carrot is sweeter, and of better
quality than any carrot we know of. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; J4 Lb. 90c;
Lb. $3.15.

RED CORED CHANTENAY. See page 5. A new “coreless” strain of
Chantenay of very fine quality. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; Lb. 50c; Lb. $1.65.

CHANTENAY. The most popular carrot for general use and market. The
roots grow 6 to 7 inches long, tapering only slightly, being quite square or
stump-rooted at the bottom. The color is deep orange and the roots are
fine grained, smooth as a bottle and of fine quality. We offer a very uni¬
form strain of this variety which grows an inch longer than the usual
Chantenay. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; J4 Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40.

PERFECTION. A new larger and better Coreless Carrot. This
excellent carrot is becoming increasingly popular for fall crops,
both for home use and market. The carrots resemble Coreless or
Amsterdam Forcing in shape, but are nearly two inches longer. They are
very smooth and symmetrical as shown in the picture on this page. There
is no “core” as the deep orange color extends right thru to the center.
The quality of Perfection is very fine. Pk. 10c; Oz. 20c; Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.90.

CORELESS, or Amsterdam Forcing. A very fine variety for table use.
The carrots are very tender, of mild pleasant flavor, and without any hard
core. The shape is ideal for a table carrot being practically the same size
from crown to bottom. The tops are small and the carrots mature early.
This is an excellent kind for particular markets and the home garden.

Perfection Carrots

PRIDE OF DENMARK. A wonderfully fine carrot, growing 8 to 9 in. long and 2 to 3 in. in diameter. It is nearly the
same size the whole length. It closely resembles the Hutchinson but has less core and deeper color. Pkt. 10c
Oz. 20c; M Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.90.

Pride of Denmark
Carrot

NANTES. One of the best “coreless” varieties. The roots are 7 to 8 in. long, the same size the whole length and
stump rooted. The color is deep orange which extends through the whole root without a light colored “core.” Thie
is a very fine variety for roadside sales. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; J4 Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40.

DANVERS HALF LONG. The roots taper a little more at the bottom than Chantenay and grow about 1 inch longer
being 7 to 8 inches in length. This variety is valuable for stock feeding as well as for market. Very heavy yields
are often obtained. A thousand bushels per acre being not at all unusual. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; Lb 45c; Lb. $1.40

HUTCHINSON. A large and very productive carrot of fine quality. The roots are 8 to 10 inches long, nearly the
same size the whole length, stump rooted and of a deep orange color. We are now able to offer seed of the true
Hutchinson strain which is so popular in New England. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; J4 Lb.. 90c; Lb. $3.00.

Early French Short Horn. The earliest and best carrot for forcing. The roots are almost round, being almost as
thick through as long, and are of good deep orange color. Our seed is of the finest strain for hothouse use. Pkt. 10c
Oz. 15c; M Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40.

Oxheart, or Guerande. A short thick carrot, 4 J4 to 5 inches long and often nearly as large around as it is long
Excellent for table use or bunching for market. Matures early. Can be easily pulled by hand and yields nearly a£
much as the longer varieties. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; M Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10.

Long Orange. We have a fine strain of this variety. The roots are long, but not too tapering; smooth and straight.
An immense yielder and is used considerably for stock feeding. Pkt. 8c; Oz. 12c; >4 Lb. 30c; Lb. $1.00.

Mastodon, or White Vosges. A large white carrot for stock. The roots grow very large, but being thick and not
too long, they can be easily pulled. We think this variety will yield more good, nutritious carrots per acre than
any other variety. Pkt. 8c; Oz. 12c; Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c.

Celery

One ounce of seed will produce about 8000 plants,

Celery is easily raised. The trouble most unskilled gardeners experience is in
raising the plants. For very early planting the seed should be sown in the
greenhouse or hot bed in February or first of March. For late crop the seed
is sown in the open ground as early as possible. Great care must be taken not
to cover the seed too deep. More failures to get the seed to germinate are due
to this cause than any other.

We give full directions for culture with every order for seed if requested. We
sell plants ready in June and July at low prices. Also earlier plants if desired.
See Price List of Plants on page 45 of this catalogue.

Varieties. For fall and early winter Golden Plume or Golden Self-Blanching
are the best varieties.

For keeping in winter, Salt Lake is the best as it will keep until spring.
Columbia blanches in a shorter time and can be used earlier in the winter but
does not keep quite as long.

Yellow or Self-Blanching Varieties

GOLDEN PLUME OR WONDERFUL CELERY

(See illustration in color on inside front cover.)

This is the best golden or self-blanching celery which we have yet seen. It is
of the same color and general appearance as Golden Self-Blanching but of more
vigorous, sturdy growth. It forms heavy, solid stalks which blanch quickly
and are of fine quality.

We have a very fine proved strain which will be found equal, if not superior
to any sold, even at much higher prices.

We advise all growers of celery to try this strain. There are never any soft
stalks and the celery is large, vigorous and healthy and keeps well in storage.

PROVED SEED. Pkt. 15c; M Oz. 45c; Oz. $1.15; M Lb. $3.65; Lb. $13.00.

GOLDEN SELF-BLANCHING CELERY

This is ore of the best varieties for fall and early winter use. It blanches
easily and the stalks are quite thick, solid and crisp. When blanched the stalks
are creamy white, while the leaves turn a beautiful golden yellow.

This is an excellent celery for the home garden as well as for market. It can
be easily blanched in the field by placing boards on each side of the row. It will
blanch perfectly in the cellar or pit when stored for winter use.

Strains of Golden Self-Blanching. There are several distinct strains of
this variety. We are offering two strains, each of which is excellent in its place.
Old Strain. The stalks are of short stocky growth, heavy, thick and with
large, well developed hearts. Grows more slowly than other kinds. This is
considered the best type for storage. This strain is very uniform in color and
type. Pkt. 15c; Oz. 80c; Lb. $2.55; Lb. $8.75.

New Strain. Grows much more rapidly than the old strain, and the stalks are
longer and attain a good size much more quickly. It is, therefore, a better
celery for early use or fall market. For late use growers prefer the old strain.
The new strain is much more vigorous, grows faster and is almost “blight
proof" as it resists the attacks of blight much better than the old strain.
Pkt. 15c; Oz. 80c; Lb. $2.55; Lb. $8.75.

GOLDEN PHENOMENAL CELERY. This new variety is eonsidered a
taller and larger strain of Golden Plume or Wonderful. The stalks are longer
from the root to the first joint and the whole plant is larger and more vigorous
than other kinds. The individual stalks are thick, crisp and of fine quality.
The heart is well developed and the whole plant is massive and heavy. The
color is of the same golden tint as the well known Golden Self-Blanching.

Many growers find this new celery to be a valuable market variety as well as
being excellent for the home garden.

I GIANT PASCAL— Special Strain. This is an exceptionally fine
strain, much superior to the ordinary Giant Pascal. This strain is

used largely in New England and
is considered one of the very best
for late winter market. The stalks
are very large, solid and blanch
to a pure white. Pkt. 12c; Oz.
55c; Yt. Lb. $1.60; Lb. $5.50.

Large Prague Celeriac

EASY BLANCHING, or Sanford Superb. This is an excellent
celery for late fall or early winter use. It does not blanch quite as
quickly as Golden Self-Blanching and, therefore, keeps better than
that variety. The stalks resemble Golden Self-Blanching, but
blanch pure white instead of light yellow. The qu-ality is even
better than that variety. The celery called “Newark Market” is
the same as our strain of Easy Blanching. We have a very fine
strain of this celery which is far superior to the Easy Blanching
usually sold. There are no soft or hollow stalks in our strain.
Pkt. 12c; Oz. 60c; M Lb. $1.90; Lb. $6.60.

FRENCH’S SUCCESS. This is the longest keeping celery we know
of. It will keep in perfect condition all winter if properly stored
and is a very profitable variety for late winter market. Pkt. 15c;
Oz. 80c; M Lb. $2.55; Lb. $8.75.

Columbia. Much resembles Golden Self-Blanching in growth and
appearance, but is a green celery and does not blanch so quickly
and keeps longer. A valuable kind for early winter market. Pkt. 12c;

GOLDEN GEM. The Earliest Sweet Corn. (67 days'). A new early yellow
corn originated at the North Dakota Experiment Station. This proved to
be the earliest corn in our trials this year. The ears are 6 in. long 8 to 10 rows
of bright yellow kernels. Unlike many very early kinds it is of excellent
quality. It is important to give this corn good rich land to make its best
growth. When grown under good conditions the stalks are about

5 ft. tall . If you wish to have the very earliest corn try some Golden

HARRIS NORTHERN GROWN SWEET CORN.

Our northern grown sweet corn is far superior in earliness and quality to
the same varieties raised from seed grown in the south and west where a
large part of the sweet corn seed is grown. We have large specially con¬
structed drying houses for curing and drying our seed corn, and we are able to
offer seed which is of strong vitality and the highest quality in every way. It
is very carefully selected and tested for germination, and the percentage that
will grow is marked on each package so that you will run no risk of failure in
planting our corn.

FOR HOME USE. We advise planting the following varieties which will
give a constant succession of corn all through the season, Gill’s Early Market or
Golden Gem, Harris’ Extra Early Bantam, Buttercup, or Golden Bantam,
Mimms’ Hybrid, Bantam Evergreen and Country Gentleman or Long Island
Beauty. A month or six weeks later make another planting of Buttercup or
Golden Bantam for late use.

To get good sweet corn great care should be taken to pick it in just the right
state of maturity. Corn that is picked too young is watery and tasteless, while
too old it is tough. When it is just right the kernels are nearly, but not quite,
fully developed and are very soft so that if pressed with the fingers they will
burst and the inside appear like milk.

If pure yellow corn or pure white corn is wanted, do not plant near varieties of
other colors. The pollen of the white corn will cause some kernels of the yellow
varieties to turn white, giving the ear a spotted appearance. The yellow kinds
will also cause the white corn to be spotted with yellow kernels. Do not plant
sweet corn near field corn.

Corn should never be planted in a single row. It is much better to plant in
three or four rows side by side. This is because the pollen does not fertilize the
ears well when planted in a single row.

FOR MARKET GARDENERS. Market gardeners will find that the fol¬
lowing varieties are best suited to their needs and the most profitable to grow.

Yellow Varieties. Golden Gem, Harris’ Extra Early Bantam, Gill’s Golden
Early Market, Whipple’s Yellow, Buttercup or Golden Bantam, Golden Giant,
Bantam Evergreen.

White Varieties. Gill’s Early Market, Whipple’s Early, Mimms’ Hybrid,
and Stowell’s Evergreen.

Note: We now sell corn by weight only: One pound is about 1 l/i+ pt., 6 lbs.
equals J+ quarts and 12 lbs. a peck. 25 lbs. or more of one variety are sold at the

Golden Giant. (85 days.) Those who want a late yellow corn with
large ears will find this one of the best. The ears are 7 to 8 inches
long with 12 to 14 rows. They mature later than Golden Bantam
so follow nicely after that variety. The quality is very fine, being
sweet and tender. Pkt. 10c; y Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c;

Treat Your Sweet Corn Seed

We have found by experience on our farm that it
pays well to treat sweet corn seed with Semesan Jr.
before planting. On a single planting we have had
double the stand from treated seed that we did with
the same seed untreated. The cost is very low — 2 oz.
will treat a bushel of seed.

Whipple’s Early Sweet Corn

White Varieties

WHIPPLE’S EARLY (White). (79 days.) A grand early white
corn. It looks like Evergreen and is as early as many of the small
eared early varieties. The ears have 16-20 rows of deep rather
narrow kernels and are of very fine quality. They are 8-9 inches
long and large around, and look like well bred Evergreen yet they
mature two to three weeks earlier. Market gardeners find that the
size, high yield (there are often two good ears on a stalk) and earli¬
ness make this a very profitable kind to grow for markets, where a
white corn is wanted. Home gardeners find this an excellent kind
for both table and canning.

We introduced this variety, and our seed is all grown here in the
North under our close supervision, and far superior to most of the
seed offered by other dealers. Pkt. 10c; y Lb. 2 Sc; Lb. 40c;

$1.70 postpaid. By freight: 12 Lbs. $2.30; 100 Lbs. $17.00.

MIMMS’ HYBRID. (90 days.) A grand main crop white sweet
corn. The ears are 10 to 12 inches long, have 12 to 16 rows of fine
kernels and fill right out to the tip. The corn is snow white, and of
excellent quality, being far superior to Evergreen and most other
white varieties.

This is a midseason corn and matures between the early and late
varieties. It is the very best kind of its season.

Many stalks produce two big ears, and the yield is consequently
very heavy. The big handsome ears always command the highest
prices.

The seed we offer is of a very fine pedigree strain of our own

Pop Corn

Pop corn is raised the same as field corn. It should be allowed to get
thoroughly ripe before cutting. Very easily raised and often proves a
profitable crop. _

DYNAMITE. New Large Golden. This is the new large golden
pop corn which is so much in demand. The kernels are big and
when popped make large tender popcorn of the finest quality. The
ears are large containing 12 to 16 rows, making the yield high.
The stalk is tall and strong. This corn is not as early as the other
varieties but will mature in this climate. You should try some of
this new pop corn this year. Pkt. 10c; y lb. 20c; lb. 3 5c; 2 lbs. 60c;
7y lbs. $1.75 postpaid. By freight ; 15 lbs. $2.55 ; 60 lbs. (bu.) $9.00 ;
100 lbs. $15.00.

Japanese Hulless or Tom Thumb. Owing to the unusually thin
skin on the kernels this corn when popped is tender and almost free
from any fiber, which is so objectionable in the common varieties.
People who have once tried the Japanese Hulless will have no other
kind.

The ears are short and thick. The kernels are small, nearly
white color and much the shape of White Rice. They pop readily
and the popped corn is very tender and of the finest quality. This
is a very early variety. Pkt. 10c; A Lb. 20c; Lb. 35c; 2 Lbs. 60c;
7 y Lbs. $1.75 postpaid. By freight: 15 Lbs. $2.55; 60 Lbs. (bu.)
$9.00; 100 Lbs. $15.00.

White Rice. The ears are 6 to 7 inches long and the kernels are
pure white and of large size. Yields well and produces a fine
quality of pop corn. Decidedly the best variety to raise on a large
scale for market as it yields best and is always in demand. Our
strain is very fine. Pkt. 10c; y Lb. 20c; Lb. 30c; 2 Lbs. 55c;

Black Diamond. It is generally conceded that this black variety
makes pop corn that is more tender and of better quality than
other kinds. If well cured the corn will pop perfectly two or three
months after it is harvested. The ears are 6 inches long and the
kernels are dark blue or black. They pop white and the quality is
very superior, the popped corn being tender and crisp. Matures
early. Pkt. 10c ; y, Lb. 2 5c; Lb. 40c ; 2 Lbs. 70c ; 7 y Lbs. $ 1 .95 post paid.

Black Mexican. (86 days.) Many people think that there is no
corn quite equal to this in quality. Matures medium early. The
ears are 7 to 8 in. long eight rowed, and have a small cob. The
kernels are white when ready to use, turning black later. Pkt. 10c;

STO WELL’S EVERGREEN. Special Early Strain. (92 days.)
Our Northern grown seed is much earlier and superior to western
grown. The corn is of better quality and matures 10 to 12 days
earlier than the usual Evergreen. Ears 7 to 8 inches long with 12 to
14 rows of long, rather narrow kernels. A popular variety but not
of the best quality. Seed grown in Monroe County from our own
stock seed. Pkt. 10c; y Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 6 Lbs. $1.55
postpaid. By freight: 12 Lbs. $2.05; 100 Lbs. $15.00.

Early Mammoth. (96 days.) Not an early variety, but a little
earlier than late Mammoth, which is a very late kind. The ears are
of immense size, much longer than Evergreen and the corn is of
superior quality. A fine late variety for market and home use
where a large late white corn is demanded. Pkt. 10c; y Lb. 25c;
Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 6 Lbs. $1.65 postpaid. By freight: 12 lbs.

on a stalk. The kernels are long and thin and placed irregularly on
the cob. It is of high quality being very sweet and tender.

By freight: 12 Lbs. $2.15; 100 Lbs. $16.00.

LONG ISLAND BEAUTY. (98 days.) This corn matures very
late and is, therefore, valuable to prolong the season. The ears are
immense,- often a foot long with 18 to 20 rows of white kernels. The
quality is fine, the corn being sweet and very tender. This is a
profitable market corn as well as an excellent one for home use.

When different varieties mature. We give after the
names of the different varieties listed in this catalogue the
approximate number of days in which the corn matures after
planting. As the time required varies greatly according to
the weather, time of planting, and fertility of the soil the
figures should be regarded as relative rather than actual, al¬
though they are taken from our trials.

Chicory

Cichorien-Wurzel (Ger.) Cicora selvatica (It.)

An ounce of seed will produce 3000 to 5000 roots, a packet
300 to 500 roots.

Chicory is used for two purposes. The large rooted variety is used
as a substitute for coffee, the root being dried and ground, while the
variety called “Witloof’! is used for salad. Both are easily raised

from seed. We offer only the Witloof.

WITLOOF CHICORY— “FRENCH ENDIVE”

This so-called “French Endive” or more properly Witloof Chicory
is a most appetizing and delicious salad and is so easily raised that
every one can enjoy it all winter with very little trouble. Full direc¬
tions for raising the crop will be sent to anyone interested. Seed
sown in May or June produces roots which, when taken up and
placed in sand in a warm dark place, throw out tender white sprouts
which are used as salad. These sprouts are commonly called “French
Endive.”

Special Selected Witloof Chicory. The seed we offer is the best
strain that we know of. It was grown from especially selected
“forced” heads and will produce large compact heads which often
weigh over 34 1b. each. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 50c; 34 Lb, $1 .35; Lb. $4.50.

Endivien (Ger.) Endive Endivia (It.)

A packet of seed will sow 10 feet of row; 1 ounce 100 feet.

Endive is used for salads, especially in autumn and winter. It is easily grown.
Seed can be sown any time from early spring until August 1st in the Northern
states. For fall and winter use the seed should not be sown until about July 1st.
Sow in rows 18 to 24 inches apart and thin the plants to a foot apart. To blanch,
draw the outer leaves over the center and tie them. This should be done when the
plants are nearly full grown. It is best to tie up a few at a time as wanted for use.
Green Curled. The leaves are large and finely cut and curled and easily blanch
to a creamy white in the center. This is the most popular variety. Pkt. 10c;
Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25.

GREEN CURLED PANCALIER. Full Hearted Strain. Grows larger than
Green Curled and has somewhat less serrated leaves. It is later in maturing but
when well grown on good land it forms a large full heart of fine quality. When
blanched, the heads are a delicate yellow in the heart and very attractive.
Used market growers for late crop. Pink ribbed. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; J 4 Lb. 50c;
Lb. $1.65.

Moss Curled. A beautiful variety with very finely curled leaves. Blanches per¬
fectly white in the center. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40.

Ever White Curled. The leaves are finely cut and curled and are of a very light
green which quickly changes to creamy white when bleached. This variety is
popular because it bleaches so quickly and easily. Pkt. 10c ;Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 40c;
Lb. $1.25.

FULL HEART BATAVIAN. (Escarole). Large, thick leaves, dark green, curled
only on the edges. Forms a large compact head which blanches to a beautiful
light yellow and is of the finest quality, being very mild and without bitterness.

Batavian Endive (Escarole)

Eierpflanze (Ger.)

Plant

A packet of seed will produce about 50 plants; an ounce about 2000 plants.

Melanzani (It.)

This is a delicious vegetable which should be in every garden. It is also a
profitable crop in most every market.

In sowing Egg Plant seed, care should be taken not to cover it more than
34 in. deep, and to keep the temperature from 70 to 90 degrees.

The young plants are often injured by bugs, to prevent which it is a good
plan to spray with arsenate of lead and lime even before the plants are set in
the open ground. Plant in rows 3 feet apart each way.

The plants do best on rather light, rich soil. In the North the seed should be
sown in March and the plants set out the last of May.

How to Cook Egg Plant

Fried Egg Plant. Pare and cut egg plant in slices 34 in. thick. Sprinkle
slices with salt and pile on plate, cover with a weight and let stand two hours.
Dip each slice in egg then in crumbs and fry slowly on both sides or the slices
may be dipped in butter or in a thin batter and fried brown

Baked Egg Plant. Cook egg plant 15 minutes in boiling, salted water to
cover. Cut in halves lengthwise, scoop out inside, and cook pulp in boiling
water until tender. Beat with a spoon until light and smooth, add 1 well beaten
egg, season with paprika, salt and a little nutmeg, add some chopped parsley,
1 tablespoon butter and 2 rolled crackers. Mix well, refill shells, sprinkle with
bread crumbs and butter and brown in quick oven.

BLACK BEAUTY. This is a very handsome, early and prolific variety. The
fruit is as large as New York Improved, matures earlier, and is of a deeper
and richer color. The plants are of robust growth and are very prolific.
Being earlier than the New York Improved, much larger crops are produced
before frost in the North. This is the kind grown most extensively by
market gardeners. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 50c; 34 Lb. $1.30; Lb. $4.25.

Extra Early Dwarf Purple. A valuable variety. Not large but very early and
prolific. Being hardier and earlier than the larger kinds, it is valuable for
northern latitudes where the seasons are short. A fine variety for the home

£arden where fruit of medium size is wanted. Pkt. 12c ; Oz. 50c ; 34 Lb. $1.30;
b. $4.25.

Early Long Purple. An early variety with fruit 6 to 8 inches long and 2 to 3
inches through. Matures early and is very prolific. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 50c;
34 Lb. $1.30; Lb. $4.25.

NEW YORK IMPROVED. (Thornless.) The fruit grows to the largest size

Loewenzahn (Ger.) Dandelion Dente di leone (It.)

The improved cultivated dandelion is a valuable plant for “greens” early in the spring
The seed is sown in the spring or summer and the leaves will be ready to eat the following
spring.

Large Thick-Leaved. The most desirable variety with large thick leaves of excellent
quality. Far superior to the common dandelion. The seed we offer is of the finest
New England strain. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 55c; pi Lb. $1.60; Lb. $5.50.

grown that every garden should have a short row of this herb. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c:
Pi Lb. 25c ; Lb. 70c.

“Garden. ^^Ilcl£leI^erry,,

This is not a true Huckleberry, but it belongs to the Solanums to which family also
belong the tomato, pepper and egg plant. The fruit is deep purple, nearly black, round
and only a little smaller than a Concord grape. They are not good to eat raw but when
cooked with a little sugar and lemon or other flavoring it is considered by many people
very good for making pies and preserves.

The plants grow three ■‘eet high and are covered on every branch with clusters of fruit
so a very few plants will produce an immense quantity of berries. The fruit ripens in
September but it is considered of finer quality when left on the plants until the leaves are
killed by frost. They will remain on the plant two months after they are ripe.

The culture is the same as for tomatoes. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c.

Plants: We can furnish plants ready May 15th. Doz. 35c postpaid.

Fennel or Fmoccliio

Florence Fennel. This is quite distinct from the common sweet fennel used for
flavoring. This variety produces a large bulb at the surface of the ground which
makes an excellent vegetable with a peculiar but pleasing flavor. It is very
largely used in Italy and by Italians in this country.

It is grown by sowing the seed in rows 20 inches to 2 feet apart and thinning or
transplanting so the plants stand 8 to 1 0 inches apart in the rows. Sow the seed
in rich soil in May or June, and again a month later for fall use. When the
plants are half grown drag up earth to them so as to blanch the bulbs.

The seed we offer is of an imported strain and very fine. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c;
K Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.25.

Knoblauch (Ger.) Garlic Aglio (It.)

Used for flavoring. The bulbs are set out like onion sets about 4 inches apart in
the row, divided into “cloves” or flakes and covered 2 inches deep. When the
tops die down take up the bulbs and dry in a shady place.

Bulbs only. pi Lb. 15c; Lb. 45c; postpaid. By express: 5 lbs. or more 30c per lb.

Meer Rettig (Ger.) HorSC Rciclisll Rafano (It.)

Horse Radish is easily grown from sets — small lengths of roots. These sets, if
planted in the spring in good, rich soil, will form large roots by fall. The set should
be planted with the small end down and the upper portion 2 inches below the
surface in rows 3 feet apart and 15 to 20 inches apart in the rows.

New Bohemian Horse Radish. A variety considered to be superior to the
common kind. Sets: 25c per doz.; $1.40 per 100 postpaid. By freight: $7.50
per 1000 (weight 40 lbs.)

Large Thick Leaf Dandelion

We do not supply half ounces of seed
priced less than 30c per ounce.

Knollkohl (Ger.) Kohl Rabi Cavolo rapa (It.)

A packet will sow 10 feet of row; an ounce 200 feet.

Kohl Rabi produces a large bulb on the stem which is used as a vegetable and
also for stock feeding. If used while young, the bulb when properly cooked makes
a delicious vegetable. An excellent way to cook is to cut the bulbs into small cubes
and boil until tender. Serve with a butter or cream sauce.

The seed should be sown in June or July in rows- about 2 feet apart, and the
plants thinned 6 to 8 inches apart in the rows.

Early White Vienna. The best variety for the table. When the bulbs are the
size of an apple they are ready for use, and are of excellent quality, being tender
and of delicate flavor. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; pi Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.00.

Early Purple Vienna. The same as White Vienna except in color which is light
purple on the outside. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; pi Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.90.

Kale or Borecole

Blatterkohl (Ger.) Cavolo verdi (It.)

Kale is used as “greens” during the winter, and is a most welcome dish when
other vegetables are gone. The young and tender shoots that come out on the
stalks are delicate and delicious when cooked. They are better after a few frosts
in the fall. With a little protection, or when the snow is deep, kale will stand the
winter without injury. It is grown in the same way as cabbage but for winter
use the seed may be sown as late as July.

DWARF CURLED GREEN or Blue Scotch. This low growing,
spreading variety is the kind most commonly grown. The leaves
are finely curled, of a deep bluish-green color and of excellent qual¬
ity. Often used for garnishing. Pkt. 8c; Oz. 12c; L Lb. 30c;
Lb. $1.00.

Tall Green Scotch Curled. The plant grows three feet tall and
produces an abundance of sprouts the whole length of the tall stem,
which are of the finest quality. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; pi Lb. 25c;
Lb. 80c.

Early White Vienna Kohl Rabi

Poree (Ger.) Led*. Porro (It.)

Leek is a kind of onion that does not form any bulb, but grows in a.
long stem, which is blanched by drawing earth around it. When
blanched in this way it makes an appetizing salad, or is eaten like

Lettuce

A packet will sow about 30 feet of row; an ounce 250 feet.

Even the smallest of home gardens can easily grow plenty of lettuce.
By making successive sowings, and using the lettuce as it is thinned
you can get a supply throughout the season.

About Varieties. There are two distinct classes of lettuce. One
forms heads like cabbage, while the other merely produces loose
leaves. Where lettuce is grown in the open ground and allowed to
remain thick in the row, as is too often the case,' the loose-leaved
varieties are the best. Some of the most popular of these are Black
Seeded Simpson, Grand Rapids and Prize Head. When really fine
lettuce is desired, the head or cabbage varieties are much the best.

For forcing in the hothouse or hotbed. May King is an excel¬
lent variety. Big Boston is fine for cool houses and cold frames. Fora
curly leaf lettuce Grand Rapids is by far the most popular. For
sowing in frames and transplanting to the open ground in the spring
the best varieties are New York No. 12, Salamander, White Boston and
Big Boston. These are also excellent heading varieties for sowing in
the open ground early in the spring and in the late summer and fall.

Romaine or Cos Lettuce can be grown both in the hothouse and open
ground and is in good demand in many markets. Trianon Self-
Folding is the largest and best kind. It does best in cool weather.

BIG BOSTON, Harris’ Special Strain. This variety is one of the

most widely grown both for forcing and open ground. The heads
are large firm and of excellent quality. It is very largely grown on
muck ground for shipping to the larger cities. Big Boston is one of
the best varieties for late crop, as it heads well in cold weather and
is not injured by slight freezing.

Our strain of this lettuce is exceptionally fine. The heads are
uniformly solid and compact, and stand a long time without bolt¬
ing. Some of the largest growers in this country are using Harris'
Big Boston and find it equal if not superior to any other stock
obtainable at any price. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; H Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40.

May King. A very early variety. The heads form very quickly and
are firm and of fine quality. The plant is small and practically all
head the leaves are light green, slightly tinted with brown on the
edges and are very crisp and tender. The inside of the head is a
beautiful light yellow color. Pkt. 10c;Oz. 15c; Lb. 45c ; Lb .$1 .40.

Holyrood Hot Weather. The heads are very large, quite firm and
the leaves are thick, tender and of a deep green, blanching to white
in the center of the head. This lettuce has a rich buttery flavor and
stands a long time without running to seed. We regard this as one
of the best heading varieties for summer use. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c;
} 4 Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40.

ICEBERG. One of the best varieties. Heads early and stands with¬
out running to seed a long time. The leaves are finely cut and curled,
and of an attractive light green, while the center of the head is pure
white and remarkably crisp and of fine quality. This variety
should not be confused with the “Iceberg” lettuce sold in many
markets, which is New York or Wonderful. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c;
\i Lb. 50c; Lb. $1.65.

SALAMANDER, Improved Strain. (Also called “Dreer's All
Heart” and “Black Seeded Tennisball.”) One of the best varieties
for summer use as it resists hot sun better than most other kinds.
It forms large, compact heads of a light green color and of very fine
quality. We have a fine strain of this popular lettuce producing
uniformly fine heads of the best quality. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c;

Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40.

MIGNONETTE. Fine for Home Gardens. The outer leaves are
tinted with reddish brown. Forms a small but very compact head
of finest quality. A very early variety and one that “heads” even
under adverse conditions. One of the finest varieties for the home
garden. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; M Lb. 85c; Lb. $2.75.

WHITE BOSTON. The heads resemble Big Boston, but form earlier
and do not have the red tinge of that variety. They are very firm
and of high quality. This is a very valuable kind for growing on
muck and has also become increasingly popular for home and
market gardens. Our strain is
exceptionally uniform
and sure heading.

WONDERFUL or NEW YORK. This is the variety which is
shipped from the West under the name of “Iceberg.” It is larger
than the true Iceberg, forming compact white heads as large as a
small cabbage. The leaves are deep green, crinkled or blistered,
and very large. The heads are round or oblong, very large, com¬
pact, and almost perfectly white inside. It is rather coarse in

Lb. $1.65.

Culture of Lettuce

In order to get fine heads in the open ground it is a good plan to sow
the seed in a hotbed or box in the house 3 or 4 weeks before the
ground outside is ready. Transplant the seedlings to another box or
frame 3 inches apart and set the plants in the open ground a loot

apart when ready. , , , ., , ,

In sowing lettuce seed care should be taken not to cover it over /§
inch deep. If covered much deeper it will often fail to come up.

Seed may be sown in the open ground in the
July Sow in rows 18 inches or more apart and for fall use thin the
plants when small to 10 to 12 inches apart. It is important to thin
the plants when very small; less than one inch high.

For fall use seed should be sown m this latitude (Western New
York) the last of July or first of August. Loose-leaved lettuce is also
sown in the summer and fall, the same as the head varieties.

Not Hard to Raise Melons

It is much easier to raise melons than is usu¬
ally supposed and they are so delicious a fruit
that every one who has any garden at all should
raise them. All that is required is a good rich,
well manured soil, that is not too heavy, and a
warm, sunny situation. Our pamphlet, “Culti¬
vation of Vegetables” tells about raising musk-
melons. See page 1+5 for Muskmelon Plants.

Hale’s Best M uskmelons

GOLDEN CHAMPLAIN or Lake Champlain. The chief value of
this melon is in its earliness. It ripens earlier than any other
variety, and can therefore be raised further north than other kinds
which require a longer time to ripen. The fruit is almost round, of
medium size, averaging about 4 to 5 inches across. The flesh is
orange in color, and of good flavor. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; Y Lb. 85c;
Lb. $2.75.

IRONDEQUOIT or Tip Top. One of the very best quality melons
we know of. The fruit is large, often weighing 7 to 8 pounds, nearly
round, well netted and light green. The flesh is deep orange color;
thick, very sweet and of high flavor. They ripen medium early
and the vines are healthy and produce lots of good big melons.
This melon resembles the Bender’s Surprise but the flesh is less
firm and the melons will not keep as long after picking. Pkt. 10c;
Oz. 20c; M Lb. 50c; Lb. $1.65.

Hearts of Gold. The melons are almost perfectly round, thickly
netted and very firm so they stand shipping well. The flesh is
deep orange color, firm, very sweet and of delicious flavor. The
melons are about the size of Rocky Ford. The vines are vigorous,
free from blight and very productive. An excellent melon for ship¬
ping as it “holds up” well after picking. We have a fine strain of
the true stock. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; } 4 Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40.

Emerald Gem. One of the earliest muskmelons. While the fruit is
not large, it ripens very early, and each vine produces a large num¬
ber of melons of good quality. The fruit is almost round, 4 to 5
inches in diameter, dark green, slightly ribbed and with little
netting. The flesh is orange color, thick, sweet, and of very high
flavor. Emerald Gem can be relied upon to produce a good crop
of fruit even in unfavorable seasons when other larger and later
kinds would not do well. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; Y Lb. 40c; Lb. $1 .25.

Miller’s Cream or Osage. ( Im proved Strain) . This is an excellent
melon for the home garden and also for market where it is known.

Danish Yellow Giant Mangel

A New Melon — Golden Combination

Unsurpassed in Sweetness and Flavor

This new melon has a deliciously sweet “musky” flavor which we have never tasted in any
other kind. It is a medium large muskmelon, somewhat oval in shape, and with very thick, deep
orange flesh of fine texture. The skin is very heavily netted and of a pale green color which
turns to light yellow as the melons ripen. This is the heaviest melon for its size of any we have
ever seen. It ripens about the same time as Bender’s Surprise.

Try some Golden Combination this year. We are sure you will like it. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 50c;
Y lb. $1.25.

Mangels and Sugar Beets

Futter ruebe (Ger.) 6 to 8 pounds of seed will plant an acre. Barbabietole (It.)

A most valuable food for cattle and sheep. Sow the seed in May in rows 2Y feet apart. The

mangels are easily harvested and can be stored in a cold cellar or in pits where they will keep all winter.

DANISH YELLOW GIANT. (Sludstrup .) This mangel has been found by the Danish Government
to yield more and produce more actual food per acre than any other kind now grown. Grows to a
very large size, with deep yellow colored skin and white flesh. The roots are smooth, handsome and
have small tops. They grow over two-thirds above the ground, Pkt. 5c ; Oz. 10c ; Y Lb. 2 0c; Lb. 50c.

Giant Yellow Eckendorf . This is one of the very best of the yellow mangels. The skin is bright
yellow in color and the flesh white. The roots resemble the Danish Yellow Giant, but are more
blunt on the bottom, being nearly the same size the whole length. Grows about three-fourths out
of the ground, so it is very easy to harvest. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c ; Y Lb. 20c ; Lb. 50c.

Golden Tankard. Roots oval in shape, bright yellow outside and the flesh is yellow all the way
through. The mangels are large, easily harvested and of high food value. The roots grow uniform
in shape and the flesh is of deep yellow color. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; Y Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c.

MAMMOTH LONG RED, or Norbiton Giant. This variety has produced the largest yield of any
kind of mangel at the field trials held at Cornell University. The quality of the roots for feeding
is very high. They are large, quite long and grow well out of the ground. The color is bright red
outside, and the flesh white with light red rings. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; Y Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c.

Half-Sugar Mangel. This mangel or giant sugar beet is intermediate between the large mangels
and the sugar beets. The roots are white with red tops and grow to a large size, oval in shape,
growing half out of the ground, and have small tops. The roots contain a higher percentage of sugar,
and are therefore more valuable for feeding than the larger and coarser mangels. This giant sugar
beet yields much larger crops than any other kind of sugar beet and nearly as much per acre as the
largest mangels. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; Y Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c.

Directions for culture will be sent with seed if requested.

The best varieties to grow depends upon the length of the season.
In the north, where the summers are short, Hungarian Honey,
Wonder Melon, Fordhook Early, Cole’s Early and Stone Mountain are
the most certain to ripen. Farther south larger and better melons can
be raised by using Kleckley's Sweets or Ice Cream or Peerless. These
varieties will ripen in Southern Connecticut, Long Island, New
Jersey, Ohio and Southern Michigan.

WONDER MELON. (New.) This melon is the largest and best of the
longer varieties which can be successfully raised here in the North.

The skin is dark green and the flesh deep bright red and of very
fine quality. .

This is an early vigorous grower and large crops can be raised
here in the North. We can highly recommend this variety both
for the home garden and roadside stand.

STONE MOUNTAN. (Sometimes known as “Dixie Belle.”) Al¬
though this new melon was first introduced in the South it is one
of the best varieties for the North we know of. During the past
season in our trials it was among the earliest to ripen. The melons
are of large size almost round and dark green. The flesh is deep red
and of the highest quality. Pkt. 10c;Oz. 15c; X Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40.

variety on this account to raise in the northern states. Any one
who has light soil in a sunny warm stiuation can raise these melons.
The fruit is good size slightly oblong and marbled with light and
dark green. The flesh is bright red and of good quality. Pkt. 8c;
Oz. 12c; X Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c.

FORDHOOK EARLY. Best for cool climates. This extra early
variety grows well in a fairly cool climate and is, therefore, very
desirable in the northern parts of the country where watermelons
ordinarily will not ripen. The melons are almost as large as Stone

Onions

A packet of seed will sow about 25 feet of row; an ounce 125 feet. It requires 6 lbs. of seed per acre.

About Varieties : For market and
storage a globe-shaped, yellow
onion is usually preferred, although
for some markets a red onion sells
best. The Danvers and Ohio strains
are a little earlier than the Southport
and are the most popular varieties.
Mountain Danvers is the earliest
yellow globe onion. Prizetaker is
larger than the Globe Danvers and a
little later. Riverside Sweet Spanish
will grow fine large sweet onions.
Ebenezer or “Japanese” is a flat yel¬
low onion that keeps the year
around. It is especially valuable for
raising large onions early in the
summer from sets. For pickles
Early Barletta is best. The seed
should be sown very thick so the
onions will be small and the yield
heavy.

Onion Culture. Onions are raised in two ways, from the seed and
from sets. Seed sown in early spring produces ripe onions in the fall,
while sets set out at the same time make green “bunching” onions in
a few weeks and dry ripe onions in July or August.

To raise good onions from seed the ground must be rich and in fine
condition. Sow the seed as early as possible in rows 14 inches apart.
Weed as soon as the onions appear and keep well cultivated all
through the season.

Spanish onions can also be successfully grown from plants. See
next page.

To Raise Early Green Onions. The usual way is to plant sets
early in the spring but they can be raised from seed sown the previous
year. White Welsh and Japanese Bunching are the best varieties
for sowing.

Our Onion Seed is all grown from carefully selected onions, all
inferior ones being rejected. To get large crops of good, sound onions
of good color and small tops you must have the very best of seed.
Cheap, carelessly grown seed will not give such crops, even if it is
perfectly fresh and germinates well.

Yellow Varieties

YELLOW GLOBE DANVERS. Harris’ Selected Strain. The

Yellow Globe Danvers has long been the most popular onion. We
have a very fine strain of it which for uniformly fine shape and color
and good keeping qualities we think has few equals in this country.
This seed will produce onions of perfect globe shape with small
necks and deep orange-yellow color. The flesh is creamy-white and
of mild flavor. The onions are firm, keep well, grow to a good size
and mature medium early. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; X Lb. 50c ; Lb. $1 .65.

OHIO YELLOW GLOBE. This strain of Yellow Danvers onion has
been bred up by growers in Ohio and is very popular there and in
many other sections. The bulbs are slightly flattened on the bot¬
tom, but are otherwise the same as Yellow Globe Danvers. This
strain of Yellow Globe onion has been found to be well adapted to
muck land. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; X Lb. 50c; Lb. $1.65.

SOUTHPORT YELLOW GLOBE. Special Selected Strain.

When well grown on good soil this onion will produce heavy yields.
The onions are of deep globe shape and good deep yellow color.
They are handsome onions and keep remarkably well. We have an
extra selected strain of this variety which produces onions of
uniform globe shape of deep yellow color and with small necks.
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; X Lb. 50c; Lb. $1.65.

Ebenezer Onions

EBENEZER OR “JAPANESE.” The Best Keeper . This onion is
remarkably mild, tender and of very delicate flavor. It has such a rep¬
utation for quality in some localities where it has been grown for
years that the onions command much higher prices than other kinds.

While this variety can be readily raised from seed, its principal
usefulness is for producing early onions from sets. For this purpose
it seems far superior to other kinds when ripe, dry onions are wanted
earlier than they can be produced from seed. The onions are won¬
derfully firm and solid and will keep almost the year around.

The onions are flattened in shape, of deep yellow color and of very
mild flavor. See also next page under Onion Sets. Seed — Pkt. 10c;
Oz. 25c; X, Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.25.

MOUNTAIN DANVERS ONION. Early and Good Keeper. A

very early maturing strain of Yellow Globe onion originating in the
mountains of Colorado. The onions are of fine globe shape, deep
yellow color and very firm. They ripen two or three weeks earlier
than Yellow Globe Danvers, and are valuable on this account
where the seasons are short. These onions have remarkable keep¬
ing qualities and can be safely stored all winter. They do not get
quite as large as the Yellow Globe Danvers, but are of good size and
are often found more profitable than the later kinds because they
can be marketed before other kinds are ready. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c;
X Lb. 60c; Lb. $1.75.

RIVERSIDE SWEET SPANISH. See page 5. This large Sweet
Spanish onion has become very popular in the last two or three
years and can now be raised almost anywhere in this country.
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; X Lb. 90c; Lb. $3.00.

PRIZETAKER. A large handsome onion of bright yellow color and
mild flavor. Single bulbs grown under favorable conditions some¬
times weigh over a pound. The onions are globe-shaped and of
very mild, pleasant flavor. These onions can be grown with perfect
success by sowing the seed in the ordinary way in the open ground,
but require about two weeks longer to mature than Yellow Globe
Danvers. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; X Lb- 65c; Lb. $1.90.

White Varieties

SOUTHPORT WHITE GLOBE. The bulbs are of perfect globe
shape, very firm and solid, perfectly white in color and of fine
quality. In the hands of experienced growers this is a very profit¬
able onion, and an excellent kind for the home gardens where first
class quality is appreciated. To get perfectly white onions the
bulbs should be pulled as soon as matured and dried in the shade.
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; X Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.65.

JAPANESE BUNCHING. This new onion does not form a bulb
but when sown in the spring will produce large green onions early
in the summer. The onions are nearly twice as large as ordinary
bunching onions and remain mild and sweet for a long time. These
onions grow in clusters, three to five onions being on one plant.
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 30c; X Lb. 85c; Lb. $2.75.

Extra Early Barletta. The handsomest and most perfect white
pickling onion. When sown thickly the onions mature about the
size of a cherry, perfectly round, pearly white, and of very mild
flavor. Sow an ounce of seed to 40 ft. of row or 50 lbs. per acre.
Our strain produces uniformly small even onions. Pkt. 10c;
Oz. 25c; X Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50.

White Portugal, or Silverskin. An early flat white onion of good
size and mild flavor. Excellent for family use or market. Matures
earlier than Yellow Globe Danvers and keeps fairly well. When the
seed is sown thick in a “ribbon row” the onions mature when small
and are excellent for pickling, as they are snow white and very firm.
This is also the onion which is used for “White sets” to grow mild
early green onions. (See next page under Onion Sets). Pkt. 10c;
Oz. 25c; X Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50.

Mammoth Silver King. A large white onion used principally for
bunching while green. The onions are very large, flattened, pure
white and of very mild flavor. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; X Lb. 70c;
Lb. $2.2 5.

White Welsh. This onion forms no bulbs, the onions being small
and slim, and therefore, very desirable for bunching. If sown in
four inch trenches in late summer and the trenches are gradually
filled up as the onions grow, they can be safely carried overwinter
and will produce bunch onions very early in the spring. Pkt. 10c:
Oz. 25c; X Lb. 75c; Lb. $2.50.

Red Varieties

SOUTHPORT RED GLOBE. Harris’ Special Selected. The

largest and handsomest red onion. Keeps better than any other
kind, and the quality is especially fine, the onions being of excep¬
tionally mild flavor and very tender when cooked. The onions
are of perfect globe shape, deep red, and with small tops. Our
strain is very fine, being grown from selected bulbs only. Pkt. 10c;
Oz. 20c; X Lb. 60c; Lb. $2.00.

Red Wethersfield. — Earliest Red Onion. A very large, deep red
onion, that matures early and succeeds well everywhere. The
bulbs are flattened, very large around, solid and of fine quality. A
good keeper. One of the best red onions for home use or market,
where a globe-shaped onion is not required. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c;
X Lb. 65c ; Lb. $1.85.

Spanish Onion. Plants

An Easy way to Raise Onions

These plants will produce large Spanish onions with very little
labor. When set out in the early spring, large handsome onions are
produced within 8 or 10 weeks. These onions will grow in any good
garden soil. Set the plants 3 to 4 in. apart in rows 15-18 in. apart.

RIVERSIDE SWEET SPANISH. These plants will produce large
sweet onions of the true Spanish type. They are grown from a
fine strain of seed.

WHITE SPANISH. Like the yellow Spanish, but the onions do not
keep as well and should be planted for early use. These onions
have a very delicate flavor.

Price of either variety. 100 plants 30c; 500 $1.00 postpaid. Not

less than 100 plants of a single variety sold. Plants ready April
1st to May 15th. Prices on large lots will be sent on application.

Germination Tests

Harris’ Onion Seed is given thorough tests for germina¬
tion, and the exact results f rom such tests are marked on each
package so that the purchaser can tell just what proportion
of the seed is of good vitality. This ought to be worth a good
deal to any grower. We shall be glad to tell any onion grower
just how our seed of any varieties he is interested in germ¬
inates in our tests before he buys the seed.

Onion Sets

One quart ( 1 lb.) will set 75 to 100 feet of row, depending
upon the size of the sets.

It is very easy to raise onions from sets and they should be grown
in every garden. I f the sets are set out early in the spring, nice green
onions can be pulled in a few weeks. A little later the bulbs grow large
and are then ready to use cooked. They are of very delicate flavor.
The onions mature about the middle of July in this latitude. They
are then large, ripe onions which can be kept through the winter if
desired. The sets should be planted about 2 inches apart and cov¬
ered an inch deep.

EBENEZER or “Japanese” Sets — Yellow. These sets will pro¬
duce fine bunching onions and also large yellow onions of the finest
quality. The quality of the onions is far superior to other kinds
and the yield is also larger. See opposite page. The sets are the
true “Ebenezer” variety. Qt. (1 lb.) 30c; Peck (8 lbs.) $1.50
postpaid. By freight: Peck (8 lbs.) $1.00; Bu. (32 lbs.) $3.00.

White Sets (Silverskin) . Used mostly to produce early bunching
onions. These also make nice looking and fine flavored onions to
eat while young and will produce good large onions if left to mature.
Qt. (1 lb .) 30c ; Peck ( 8 lbs .) $1.60 postpaid. By freight: Peck (8 lbs.)
$1.10; Bu. (32 lbs.) $3.25.

Cultural Directions

To help you have a successful garden we have prepared a
pamphlet “The Cultivation of Vegetables and Flowers,”
which will be sent free with any order of $1.00 or more if
requested.

Peanuts

Peanuts can be successfully grown in the North
on warm, sandy soil in a sheltered place with a
southern exposure. South of Pennsylvania they
can be grown on any good light soil.

Plant the same time as corn, in rows 2 X ft.
apart. Drop the shelled nuts 8-10 in. apart, cover
1 in. deep. When the plants are nearly full grown
throw earth up to them. This will cause the nuts
to form.

Early Spanish. The earliest variety and best
for the North. Per Lb. 35c; 5 Lbs. or more 30c
per lb.

Pastinake (Ger.)

Parsnips

A packet of seed will sow about 25 feet of row; an ounce 150 feet.

Pastinaca (It.)

This fine vegetable should be in every home garden. A few rows
will supply the needs of a family. The roots can be dug and stored
in a pit outdoors or in dirt in a cool cellar and will supply a welcome
addition to the winter vegetables. Parsnips sliced and fried in

deep fat are really delicious. Sow seed in May in rows 2 feet apart
in finely pulverized soil and cover the seed only in. deep. Thin
the plants to 4 inches apart.

HARRIS’ MODEL. The finest parsnips
grown. They are medium length and are
very smooth, without small roots or
prongs. They are much whiter than
other kinds, and are therefore more at¬
tractive in market. Our seed is of our
own growing from transplanted and
carefully selected roots. It will be
found far superior to the seed usually
sold. See also page 13. Pkt. 10c;
Oz. 15c; X Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25.

Long Hollow Crown. Long, smooth and
straight, and of fine quality. We have a
fine strain of this popular variety.

Peas

A pound of seed will sow 1 00 feet of row. Two to four bushels per acre.

Sow Plenty of Peas: There is no more
delicious vegetable than fresh, young green
peas picked right off the vines in your garden and
cooked immediately. If the garden is small, sow all
the land you can spare. After the peas are gone the
land can be used for late cabbage, turnips, spinach, etc.

It is well to sow early, medium and late kinds at the same time so
they will mature in succession. This is better than to sow one kind
three or four times during the season.

The very earliest peas like Alaska and Surprise have small pods.
Mammoth ' Podded Extra Early, Thomas Laxton, Sutton's Ideal,
World’s Record and Gradus are only three or four days later and have
much larger pods. Laxton’s Progress is two or three days later but
has larger pods. Blue Bantam is the same as Hundredfold. Mid-
seasonGiant and Lincoln mature between Hundredfold and Alderman.

Alderman is a strain of Telephone, but is better than the old type,
having darker colored peas and larger pods.

Note: We are now selling peas by weight only. A pound is about a
pint and 15 lbs. equals a peck. 30 lbs. or more of one variety are sold
at the 100 lb. price.

Laxton’s Progress Peas

“We have tried any number of garden peas, but will search no further
after having planted your Laxton’s Progress and Lincoln peas this

year' H. W. VanWinkle, Camden, N. Y.

Peas in lots of 100 lbs. will be sent by prepaid freight to places in the United States. See page 4-

ADVANCER. (2 ft.) Matures in mid-season between the early and
late kinds. The pods are of medium size but so well filled they
contain just as many peas as the very large podded varieties. The
vines are of low, stocky growth and yield immense crops. The
quality of the peas is of the very best. This is one of the finest kinds
we know of for home canning. The canned peas are firm yet very
sweet and tender. )4 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c; 2 Lbs. 70c; 7 J4 Lbs. $1.95

peas mature between Laxtonian or Hundredfold and Telephone or
Alderman. The pods are quite long, 3 )4 to 4 in. and closely filled
with 8 to 10 peas which are deep green, of medium size and of
high quality. The pods are produced in pairs near the top of the
vines so they are easily picked. We do not know of a variety of
peas that yields more than the Lincoln. It is an excellent pea to
fill in between the early and late kinds. J4 Lb. 25c; Lb. 40c;

ALDERMAN. (4-5 ft.) A very fine pea for main crop. Yields more
than any other variety. The pods resemble Telephone, but are
larger, deeper green and better filled, while the vines are of more
robust growth and more prolific. For best results the vines should
be given some support. It is really an improved Telephone and
the best of this type. The pods are immense, often 5 inches long
and contain 8 to 10 large peas. Matures medium late. J4 Lb. 25c;

Next to fresh peas, there is nothing quite so succulent and
tender as home canned peas. To be at their best, the peas
should be canned within a few hours after being picked.

USE GYPSUM

Many people find that after they have raised peas a few years
in their garden, the vines begin to turn yellow and die. This
is caused by a disease known as Dry Root Rot. It has been found
that ordinary gypsum will control this trouble. Simply spread it
broadcast over the ground just before you sow the seed and
rake it in. Use it at the rate of 1 pound to 3 square yards. Most
dealers of building supplies sell it.

Kuerbis (Ger.) PuiUpklllS Zucca (It.)

A packet will plant 5 or 6 hills, an ounce 20 hills.

ORANGE WINTER LUXURY. This new strain of the old popular Winter Luxury
pumpkin is a great improvement. The pumpkins are of a deep orange color, beauti¬
fully netted and the flesh is very thick, deep orange yellow and of the very finest
quality for pies. The fruit is of good size, being nearly twice as large as the Small
Sugar pumpkin, and will keep all winter if put in a dry moderately warm place.

This new strain has certainly proved very profitable for market and valuable for
home use. We offer seed of our own growing which will produce pumpkins of uniform
size, shape and color. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; y Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10.

SMALL SUGAR. Small, deep yellow pumpkins, ribbed and flattened at the ends. They
have good thick, sweet flesh that is excellent for pies. There is always a good demand
for these pumpkins in market and this is one of the best varieties to grow for the road¬
side trade. They ripen early and the vines are very prolific. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c;
J4 Lb. 25c; Lb. 75c.

Mammoth Potiron (also called “King of Mammoths” and “Jumbo.”) This is
the largest pumpkin grown, sometimes weighing 100 lbs. or more. The pumpkins are
salmon pink and somewhat flattened. The flesh is yellow, thick and of fair quality.

Harris’ Certified Seed Potatoes

We make a specialty of fine quality seed potatoes from inspected fields that are certified as practically disease free. Such seed produces
much larger yields than ordinary seed. For varieties and prices see page 51.

Pfeffer (Ger.)

Peppers

Peperoni (It.)

A packet of seed will produce about 75 plants; an ounce about 1000 plants.

Peppers are not difficult to raise if the right seed is used and the
plants are set out early on rather light, rich soil. If the peppers are
kept picked before they turn red, the plants will produce great
numbers during the season.

When sowing pepper seed, cover very lightly, and keep the soil
moist and very warm. The seed will not germinate unless kept very
warm all the time. For the home garden it is sometimes easier to buy
the plants. See page 45.

HARRIS’ EARLIEST. See page 15. The earliest sweet pepper.
Pkt. 12c; Oz. 65c; 34 Lb. $1.90; Lb. $6.60.

CALIFORNI A WONDER . This fine variety has become increasing¬
ly popular in the last few years. It has the thickest flesh of any
large peppers we have seen. The peppers are very large and the
flesh is so thick that they are exceptionally heavy and of the very
best quality. They mature medium early and under good growing
conditions will produce a profitable crop. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 65c;
34 Lb. $1.90; Lb. $6.60.

HARRIS’ IMPROVED SQUASH (New). We have at last been
able to produce a pepper of the popular “Squash or Cheese" type
that is early, prolific and thick meated. It is the only strain we
know of this type that has all these good points.

Hitherto it has been almost impossible to get a “Squash" pepper
that would bear enough here in the North to make it pay to grow
them, but with this new strain you can get an abundance of
fine ripe peppers before frost. Pkt. 15c; 34 Oz. 25c; Oz. 85c;
34 Lb. $2.85; Lb. $9.85.

WORLDBEATER. The fruit is 4 in. long and 3 in. across, deep
green turning red when ripe. Matures medium early. The fruit is
mild and sweet Pkt. 10c; Oz. 40c; 34 Lb. $1.15; Lb. $3.85.

Magnum Dulce. This pepper resembles the Chinese Giant in size
and shape but is better than that variety in every way. The pep¬
pers average larger, have thicker flesh, and the plants are more
prolific. The fruit is enormous, being the largest of any variety we
have ever grown.

Those who want the largest peppers will find this variety an
excellent one. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 65c; 14 Lb. $1.90; Lb. $6.60.

Giant Crimson. (Also called Ohio Crimson.) One of the best of
the large fruited sweet varieties. It is as large as Chinese Giant

Hungarian Wax Peppers

Oshkosli Peppers

HOTPORTUGAL. (New). If you

want a large “hot” pepper you
should try the new “Hot Portu¬
gal.” It is the largest pepper of
this type we have seen and just as
hot as the smaller kinds. The fruit
averages 6 in. long or over and is
very freely borne on sturdy
plants. This is the best “hot"
pepper we know of. Pkt. 15c;
34 Oz. 30c; Oz. 95c; 34 Lb. $3.35.

GIANT CAYENNE. (Hot). Fruit

HEIFER HORN. (Crop failed.)

“Last year we used all your seeds
and bought your tomato and pepper
plants which y ielded a wonderful crop.
This summer we bought locally and
they weren't worth the time we took to
plant them. Mrs. E. L. Smith, Hart-
wick. N. Y. Oct. 23. 193 2.

OSHKOSH . The largest and best yellow pepper. The plants are
strong and compact and under normal conditions produce excellent
yields of large peppers. The color is deep green turning to deep
orange yellow when ripe. The flesh is very thick and we have
never tasted a pepper of such mild sweet flavor.

This is one of the best kinds to grow for “green peppers” as the
heavy smooth attractive fruit always has a ready sale.

Oshkosh, especially when ripe, is the finest pepper we know of
for “Stuffed Peppers.” When stuffed and baked these peppers are
so mild and sweet that they fairly melt in your mouth. Pkt. 15c;
34 Oz. 25c; Oz. 75c; 34 Lb. $2.25; Lb. $7.65.

Neapolitan. An early variety with peppers of good size, 4 to 5
inches long and 2 inches across. The fruit is mild and of sweet
pleasant flavor. The color is light green when young and bright
red when ripe. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 40c; 34 Lb. $1.15; Lb. $3.85.

Large Bell or Bull Nose. One of the hardiest and earliest varieties.
The peppers are bright red when ripe and deep green when young.
The flesh is fairly thick and somewhat “hot”. The dwarf vines
produce a large number of peppers of good size and nearly as large
around as long. Pkt. 1 0c ; Oz. 40c ; 34 Lb. $1.15; Lb. $3.85.

SQUASH or TOMATO. (Also called “Burpee’s Sunnybrook,”

and “Cheese.”) The peppers are the shape of a tomato and
quite smooth, deep green changing to bright red when ripe. Flesh is
thick and of sweet mild flavor. Ripens medium early. An excellent
variety for salads. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 50c; 34 Lb. $1.35; Lb. $4.40.

PIMIENTO or “Sweet-Meat Glory.” Fruit of medium size,
pointed or top-shaped, very smooth and glossy. It has exception¬
ally thick flesh which is firm, sweet, and of the very best quality
for either salads, stuffing, or canning. The plants are quite tall and
produce a great many peppers, but they mature quite late, so this
variety is better for localities south of New York State. The
peppers are deep green changing to red when ripe. Pkt. 10c;
Oz. 35c; 34 Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.30.

Golden Dawn . The peppers are green when young and when ripe are
of a beautiful golden yellow. Of fine shape and sweet flavor. Early
and productive. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 55c; 34 Lb. $1.60; Lb. $5.50.

Some plants can be transplanted into boxes of earth and kept in a light cellar window
for use during' the-winter.

DWARF PERFECTION . This is without doubt the finest parsley grown . The plant
is of semi-dwarf habit, very compact and of a beautiful bright green, while the leaves are
very finely cut and curled. We think the flavor superior to other parsley. Pkt. 10c;
Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40.

Radies (Ger.)

Radishes

A packet will sow 15 to 20 feet of row; an ounce about 75 feet.

Icicle Radish

To get radishes in the open ground that are not “hot” the soil
should be loose and quite rich. A little nitrate of soda applied as
soon as the radishes come up will help a good deal. Sow the seed in
rows a foot apart and thin the plants to 2 inches apart. Dusting the
ground with lime or gypsum before the seed comes up will help keep
the flies out and prevent injury by maggots.

By sowing radish seed in August or first of September much better
radishes can be raised than in the spring and summer, as they are not
injured by maggots in the fall.

For forcing. Early Scarlet Globe and Harris’ Special Scarlet are the
most popular. The former is oval in shape, while the latter is
round. Both grow very rapidly. Icicle is used for a long white kind.

For the open ground. Early Scarlet Globe is excellent. Earliest
Scarlet White Tipped is very handsome and resembles French Break¬
fast, which is more oval in shape. Icicle is a fine long, white radish,
smooth and of fine quality. White Strasburg, Giant White Stuttgart
and Delicacy are large, white radishes for summer and fall use.

Red or Scarlet Radishes

EARLY SCARLET GLOBE, Special Strain. This is the best
strain of early globe shaped radish which we know of and is the
kind which market gardeners use for forcing and open ground. The
radishes are of handsome shape, an attractive bright red color
and are crisp, solid and of the finest quality. They grow so rapidly
that under favorable circumstances they may be pulled 20 days
from sowing the seed.

This is the most popular variety for forcing, as the tops are small
which is quite necessary for this purpose and the radishes do not
get pithy. Our seed is of the very finest strain, grown from trans¬
planted roots, and will be found unsurpassed for quality and vigor.

Pkt. 8c; Oz. I2c; 34 Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c.

HARRIS’ SPECIAL SCARLET FORCING. This radish has
smaller tops and matures a day or two earlier than Early Scarlet
Globe. They are perfectly round, and very bright scarlet, while
the flesh is white, crisp, and of very mild flavor. A superior
variety for forcing and the open ground. Especially valuable for
spring forcing. This is the finest, most even stock which we have
ever seen. Pkt. 8c; Oz. 12c; 34 Lb. 30c; Lb. 90c.

EARLIEST SCARLET WHITE-TIPPED. Special Forcing
Strain. Also called “Rosy Gem” and "Rapid Forcing The
radishes are perfectly round, bright red with a clear white spot
on the bottom half, making them very handsome when bunched
or on the table. This strain grows rapidly, is uniform in shape and
has small tops, making it exceptionally fine for forcing as well as
for the garden. Pkt. 8c; Oz. 12c; 34 Lb. 30c; Lb. 90c.

French Breakfast. Fine for the Home Garden. A handsome little
olive shaped radish, very bright red except a clear white tip on the
bottom. Grows very rapidly and is of very fine quality. It is

Spinat (Ger.)

Spinace (It.)

Spinach

A packet of seed will sow 35 to fO feet of row; % lb. 200 ft.; 20 pounds of seed an acre .

Spinach may be sown very early in the spring. It will be ready for
use in four or five weeks after sowing. For fall use sow August 1st,
and to winter over sow the seed about September 1st in this latitude,
and later further south.

Spinach runs to seed quickly in hot weather, so the seed should be
sown early in the spring or late in the summer in order to avoid having
the crop mature in July or August. If sown about August 1st,
spinach will grow very large and can be used from the first of Sep¬
tember until the ground freezes. New Zealand spinach if sown early
will stand hot weather well and give a constant supply of "greens
all summer and fall.

OLD DOMINION. Long Standing Blight Resistant. This new
spinach is a cross between Blight Resistant Savoy and King of
Denmark. It combines the large dark green crumpled leaf of the
Savoy with the long standing ability of King of Denmark. This
variety yields well and should be very valuable for spring sowing in
places where a spinach blights. It has also proved to be a very
valuable shipping kind as it stands up well when cut. Pkt. 5c;
Oz. 10c; 34 Lb. 20c; Lb. 50c.

LONG STANDING BLOOMSDALE. See page 16. A strain of
Norfolk or Bloomsdale Savoy Leaf that has rapidly become the
most popular spinach grown. It stands longer without bolting to
seed than any other kind except King of Denmark. Pkt. 5c;
Oz. 10c; 34 Lb. 15c; Lb. 45c.

NOBEL GIANT LEAVED. Large dark green. See page 16.

A new variety which grows rapidly and attains a large size
very early. This is a very fine kind for spring sowing as the yield
is large and produced early. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 34 Lb- 15c; Lb. 40c.

KING OF DENMARK. Named and introduced by us in 1920. This
spinach not only grows fast and produces a large yield, but it
stands longer without bolting to seed than any other variety.
The leaves are broad, heavy, dark green and somewhat blistered
like a Savoy cabbage. The remarkable thing about it is that it
stands so long before putting up a seed stalk. This and the fine
quality of King of Denmark make it one of the best varieties for
the home as well as the commercial garden. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c;
34 Lb. 1 5c ; Lb. 45c.

HARRIS’ BIG CROP. A very large early spinach. The leaves are
nearly twice as large as other kinds and are quite thick and some¬
what crumpled or blistered. This spinach grows so fast and is so
large that it is big enough to cut earlier than most other kinds and
is valuable both for home and market gardens on this account.
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; J4 Lb. 15c; Lb. 40c.

BLIGHT-RESISTANT SAVOY. For Fall Sowing. A strain of
Norfolk or Bloomsdale Savoy which is quite resistant to the blight
or "yellows" which is destructive in some localities. A valuable
variety in localities where blight injures fall spinach. Pkt. 5c;
Oz. 10c; }4 Lb. 15c; Lb. 40c.

PRINCESS JULIANA. This spinach grows close to the ground, has
thick well-crumpled dark green leaves. It does not run to seed as
quickly as many other varieties and retains its crispness a long
time after cutting. One of the best varieties for spring sowing.
Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 34 Lb. 15c; Lb. 45c.

Victoria or Long Standing. The leaves are round, thick, broad,
dark green and somewhat curled, and are of the best quality.
Stands well without running to seed and is a popular variety for
either the home garden or market. It is quite hardy and can be
sown in the fall for spring use. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 34 Lb. 15c;
Lb. 45c.

Norfolk Savoy-Leaved (also called Bloomsdale) . A very handsome
variety with dark green leaves curled or blistered like a Savoy
cabbage, and is of first-class quality. Runs to seed quickly in hot
weather. Used extensively for fall sowing to winter over for spring
use. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 34 Lb. 15c; Lb. 40c.

Old Dominion Spinach

Eskimo, or Giant Thick Leaf. Has large deep green leaves and
grows rapidly. One of the best kinds to sow in the late fall to
winter over. It is very hardy and stands the winter well. Pkt. 5c;
Oz. 10c; 34 Lb, 15c; Lb. 40c.

New Zealand Spinach

This is not a true spinach, but the leaves resemble spinach leaves
and are produced in abundance on stems a foot or more in length. It
will grow during hot dry weather when other spinach would be use¬
less. A few feet of row in the garden will furnish nice “greens’ all
summer. Pkt. 8c; Oz. 12c; Lb. 2 5c; Lb. 65c.

Salsify or Vegetable Oyster

Haferwurzel (Ger.) Sassefrica (It.)

A packet will sow 15 ft. of row;
an ounce 75 ft.

"Oyster Plant,” as it is often called, is
easily grown and is used in the late fall
and winter when there are very few fresh
vegetables to be had. Market gardeners
find this a profitable vegetable to grow.

The best roots are grown on rather
light soil, but good ones can be produced
on almost any good garden land. Sow the
seed in May in rows 2 feet apart and thin
the plants to 3 inches apart. The roqts
can be used any time in the fall and win¬
ter. They may remain in the ground all
winter. Before the ground freezes a sup¬
ply of roots should be dug and placed in
moist sand in the cellar for use in the
winter.

MAMMOTH SANDWICH ISLAND. The

Best Strain. An improved variety that
grows very large often measuring 4 to 5
inches around, and is of the best quality.

Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; 34 Lb. 60c; Lb. $2.00.

Salsify — Mammoth
Sandwich Island

Swiss Chard or Spinach Beet

Beisskohl (Ger.) Bieta (It.)

A packet of seed will sow 15 feet of row; an ounce 50 feet.

Swiss Chard is a beet grown for its leaves. The mid-rib when boiled
makes delicious greens. Leaves may be boiled and served as spinach.
Sown in the spring the leaves are soon ready to eat and will continue
to grow all summer and fall. If given a little protection it will sur¬
vive the winter and make excellent greens early in the spring.

FORDHOOK GIANT. The Best Variety. The leaves are dark
green, very large, much curled or "Savoyed,” thick of texture and
tender. The stems are pure white, broad and thick and make an
excellent vegetable when cooked separately. The leaves make
excellent boiling greens. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10.

Lucullus. A very large variety with curled leaves like a Savoy
cabbage. The plants grow nearly 2 feet high and the stems and
leaves are very large and of fine quality. The color is light yellow¬
ish green. Pkt. 8c; Oz. 12c; 34 Lb. 30c; Lb. 95c.

Silver Leaf. Large, smooth, green leaves with silvery white ribs
and stems. Pkt. 8c; Oz. 12c; 34 Lb. 30c; Lb. 90c.

Collection of Vegetables — $1.00

We have made up a special collec¬
tion of vegetable seed. Just right for
the small home garden. See page 44.

Fordhook Giant Swiss CHard

Kuerbiss (Ger.)

Squash

Zucca (It.)

A packet of seed of summer varieties will plant 6 to 8 hills; an ounce 30 hills.

A packet of winter varieties will plant 3 to 1+ hills; an ounce 15 hills; 3 or 4 lbs. of seed per acre.

The “bush” varieties like Straightneck, Italian Vegetable Marrow and Bush Scallop can
be planted in “hills” 3) ^ feet apart, but the “running” varieties like Blue Hubbard,
Quality, Boston Marrow, etc. should be planted 8 feet apart. The vines often extend
20 feet in all directions.

Squash bugs often destroy the young plants as soon as they appear above the ground.
To prevent this it is a good plan to spray the plants with a thin white wash to which
some arsenate of lead has been added or with Nicotine Pyrox. The white wash should be
like milk. Dusting powdered gypsum or Ku-ba-tox on the plants while wet with dew will
also keep the bugs off. Do not wait until the bugs appear, but spray or dust the plants
as soon as they come up.

Please Note — We cannot supply half ounces of any seed the price of which is less
than 30c per ounce.

flavored winter squash we know of. It is rich and sweet and so dry
and fine-grained that it resembles a good sweet potato. The fruit
has a dark green shell with bright orange flesh. It is not quite as
large as Hubbard but is very heavy. Gardeners find it profitable
for market where a medium size squash of fine quality is appre¬
ciated. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; % Lb. 45c; Lb. $1.40.

Summer

Italian Vegetable Marrow

GIANT SUMMER STRAIGHTNECK. See page 12. This im¬
proved variety has become very popular. The squash is the same
as Early Giant Crookneck but without the curved neck of that
variety. Our seed is of our own growing and will produce a higher
percentage of squash with straight necks than any strain we know
of. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 25c; ^ Lb. 70c; Lb. $2.25.

Early Giant Crookneck. This variety is an improved strain of the
old Yellow Summer Crookneck Squash. It is just as early as that

Squash

ITALIAN VEGETABLE MARROW . (Cocozella di Napoli.) This
is the most delicate and fine flavored summer squash we have ever
grown. The plant is of bush type without runners and the fruit is
long and slender, mottled with dark and light green. It is used
when 10 or 12 inches long and while perfectly green. It can be
cooked like summer squash or cut in slices and fried in butter.
Try it. Italian Vegetable Marrow is becoming more and more in

A packet of seed will produce about 150 plants; an ounce 2000 plants.

Harris’ Pedigree Strains of Tomatoes

We have for years made a specialty of raising
tomato seed of the best possible quality and we think
our strains of some of the new and standard varieties
are as fine as can be found anywhere, and far superior
to what is usually sold. The seed of these special
varieties is all grown on our own farm from disease
free fields and the greatest care is taken in improving
the stock by the most careful breeding methods. We
grow tomatoes for seed purposes only and use
the greatest care in saving and cleaning the seed.

Seed Grown in the North

Our special strains of tomato seed are grown here in
the North near the Canadian border, and are hardier,
earlier and more vigorous than seeds of similar
varieties grown in the South.

JOHN BAER — Special Strain

See page 17

This tomato produces'immense crops of large, smooth,
handsome fruit and is one of the best second-early or
main crop tomatoes for market and canning.

We find by carefully conducted trials that our strai
of John Baer is fully equal to any stock of this variety obtainable
and far superior to most of them.

The seed we offer is of our own growing on Moreton Farm and
will be found of the very highest quality in every way. Pkt 12c;
Oz. 50c; X Lb. $1.45; Lb. $4.75.

BONNY BEST— Harris’ Special Strain

This magnificent early variety should be largely planted for home
use and market. The fruit ripens only a week later than Earliana
and the plants produce enormous crops of beautiful, smooth, high
colored fruit, practically all of which ripen before the vines are killed
by frost.

The tomatoes are of good size, smooth as an apple and a deep
scarlet color which extends right up to the stem without any green
tinge. There is no finer strain of Bonny Best than the seed we offer,
no matter what price is charged for it.

This seed is of our own growing from carefully selected plants, and
will be found of the highest quality, producing the smoothest and
most perfect fruit. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 50c; X Lb. $1.45; Lb. $4.75.

“ Your tomato seed is excellent. I've transplanted 7000 plants from an
ounce of Bonny Best seed.” C. W. Cain, Hannibal, Ohio. May 16, 193-2.

PRITCHARD’S SCARLET TOPPER (New)

John Baer
Tomatoes

HARRIS’ EARLY STONE-See page 17

There is no tomato of finer quality than the Stone as it is almost
entirely free from acid when cooked or canned. Our special early
strain produces magnificent, large smooth tomatoes, that are of

deep scarlet color and very solid, of finest quality. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 50c;
X Lb. $1.35; Lb. $4.50.

Also called Pritchard — See page 11

HARRIS’ SUCCESS — See page 17

This is a new tomato of great merit. The fruit is a deep brilliant
red, solid and well colored. The quality is exceptionally good and the
yield very heavy Pkt. 15c; Oz. 80c; X Lb. $2.45; Lb. $8.50.

“7 have been going to write to you about the Scarlet Topper tomato
plants which I got from you. 1 wish to say they were the best tomatoes
I ever grew, also the plants were the best I ever bought.

A farmer friend of mine was up to see me; he was from Richfield, N. ,7. ,
and has been growing tomatoes for the past 20 years. He said they were
the most beautiful tomatoes he ever saw, and asked me for tivo baskets for
seed. Wm. B. Lyons, Greenwood, N. J. Dec. 16, 1932.

This is one of the best all around tomatoes that we know of.
Although a little later than Bonny Best and John Baer, the fruit is
larger and more like Stone.

Growers of green tomatoes for pickles will find this variety espe¬
cially valuable as the fruit is very solid, of good deep color and free
from blemish at the bottom end. Seed of our own growing. Pkt. 12c;
Oz. 50c; X Lb. $1.35; Lb. $4.50.

"We consider Success the very best acid free tomato we can raise."
C. A. Boyd, Delevan, N. Y.. Mar. 9, 1932.

EARLIANA — Harris’ Extra Early Strain

We have bred up this strain of Earliana tomato for many years
until now we have it so perfected that it not only ripens as early as
any other kind, but is also much smoother and more regular in size
and shape and colors almost perfectly around the stem.

This tomato is not only very early but the fruit is solid and meaty
and of fine quality. To get very early tomatoes both for the home
garden and roadside stand try our Earliana. Market gardeners find
it a profitable kind to raise for their first early sales.

We offer seed of our own growing at Moreton Farm. It is from
Pedigree Stock and Northern grown. Pkt. 12c ; Oz. 55c ; M Lb. $1.55;
Lb. $5.35.

"We think the Earliana is a wonder, as we raised them by the bushel
last year” Chester Kuchaski, Durand, Mich. Mar. 17, 1931.

Break O’Day Tomato

Early Resistant Variety

This new tomato is the result of a cross between Marvana (an
Earliana cross') and Marglobe. It retains the vigor of vine and globe
shape of the Marglobe combined with the earliness and solid fruit
of the Earliana.

Since we first offered this variety two years ago we have received
many favorable reports, particularly from sections where the vines
are staked and there is a demand for early fruit of good size and shape.

The fruit is as round, smooth as an apple, and deep orange red in
color. Within, the color is deep red and the flesh is very solid with
thick walls and remarkably few seeds.

The vines are of a spreading habit of growth with large leaves.
They carry an abundance of fruit and resist blight well. It is very
early and also of the highest quality for table use.

Break O’ Day will not do as well on light dry soil but has proved to
be most satisfactory when staked and grown on rather rich well
watered ground.

The seed we offer is of our own growing here on Moreton Farm.

Pkt. 12c; Oz. 55c; X Lb. $1.55; Lb. $5.35.

CANADIAN TOMATO

This variety originated at the Canadian Agricultural Experiment
Station at Guelph and has proved to be one of the very earliest
tomatoes. It is really a large early strain of Earliana with smooth,
well colored fruit. In some seasons we have picked several baskets of
Canadian before there was any ripe fruit on our fields of other kinds.
Market Growers will find this Canadian tomato a profitable variety
on account of its extreme earliness, and the high prices obtained for
the fruit.

We have grown and improved this variety on our own farm for
several years until now it is even better than when we first introduced

it, Pkt. 12c; Oz. 55c; X Lb. $1.60; Lb. $5.65.

Italian Red Pear Tomato

(Pomo d’oro a Pero)

The fruit of this new variety is true pear shape but three or four
times as large as the ordinary red pear tomatoes. It is borne in
clusters of 4 to 7 fruits on strong vines and the fruit is solid and deep
red in color.

This tomato has a pleasing flavor which is greatly relished by the
Italian people who use it both for canning and “tomato paste.”

Pkt. 12c; X Oz. 35c; Oz. 65c; X Lb. $1.85.

Tomato Plants

We can supply fine, sturdy, true to name plants of the most popular
varieties of tomatoes. They can be furnished either ready to set
out in the open ground, or, if preferred, small plants which can be
grown in frames for a few weeks before setting out. See page 45 for
prices and varieties.

“7 received today 500 Bonny Best plants and thank you for prompt
service. The plants are very good and 7 have yet to see as good in this part
of the country .” E. W. Lobdell, Binghamton, N. Y. May 26, 1932.

MARGLOBE TOMATO — Blight Resistant-Main Crop

This tomato, a cross between a variety called Marvel and Livingston’s Globe
has established itself as a good commercial variety in many sections. It has the
globe shaped fruit of Livingston’s Globe but differs from that variety in color,
being scarlet instead of pink.

The tomatoes are large, smooth, color perfectly up to the stem and are of a
deep red color all through. The vines are very vigorous and resist blight well
even in very wet weather.

The fruit ripens medium late coming on just after John Baer and Bonny
Best. It is so large, smooth and handsome that it is excellent for market, can¬
ning or any other purpose. Those who have had trouble with tomatoes blight¬
ing will do well to try this new variety.

Our original stock seed was sent to us by the United States Department of
Agriculture at Washington. We have grown and improved this variety on our
farm for six years, until now we have a stock that is unsurpassed. Pkt. 12c;
Oz. 50c; 34 Lb. $1.45; Lb. $4.75.

Chalk’s Early Jewel

This tomato is not quite as early as Bonny Best, but is a little larger.
The fruit is smooth and regular, of large size, and of fine quality. The vines
are very prolific, and the fruit ripens medium early. Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c;
■4 Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.25.

Dwarf Stone — Fine for Home Gardens

These plants grow dwarf and stocky, like those of Dwarf Champion, and
can be set out close together. The fruit is like Stone, medium size, solid
and deep red, and of fine quality. Ripens a little later than Harris’

Early Stone. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 50c; 34 Lb. $1.35; Lb. $4.75.

Marglobe Tomato

globe shape. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 50c; J4 Lb. $1.30; Lb. $4.25.

Dwarf Champion. The vines are stocky and do not spread like
other kinds. Fruit is of medium size, very smooth and of an at¬
tractive pink color. Ripens medium early and is used considerably
in home gardens. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 50c; 34 Lb. $1.35; Lb. $4.50.

Ponderosa. Very large fruit that is more solid and “meaty” than
any other kind. The tomatoes are very large and not as smooth as
some other kinds. The color is a deep pink and the quality very
fine. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 60c; 34 Lb. $1.70; Lb. $5.75.

Livingston’s Beauty. Fine large, perfectly smooth, and handsome
tomatoes of a deep pink color. Ripens rather late. Pkt. 12c;
Oz. 50c; 34 Lb. $1.35; Lb. $4.50.

A Fine Yellow Tomato

GOLDEN QUEEN. The best yellow tomato. The fruit is large,
smooth and of very fine quality being sweeter than other kinds.
It is very attractive when combined with red tomatoes or peppers
in salad. It ripens very early and the vines are remarkably strong
and prolific bearing fruit right up till frost. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 50c;
34 Lb. $1.50; Lb. $5.00.

Peach Tomato

A Unique Kind. Fine for Salads

This remarkable tomato so much resembles a high colored peach
that it is easily mistaken for one. It even has the appearance of the
bloom of the peach. The fruit is almost perfectly round, from 1 34
to 2 inches across and is borne in great abundance. The color is
yellow overlaid with red and the quality very fine. This is a very
nice tomato for salads. Pkt. 12c; Oz. 55c; 34 Lb. $1.60.

it belongs to the same family and is grown in the same manner as
tomatoes. The small yellow fruit is born in husks. It is of a
pleasing flavor and is valued for salads and preserves. Pkt. 12c;
>4 Oz. 30c; Oz. 55c; 34 Lb. $1.60.

Weisse Rube (Ger.) Turnips Navone (It.)

A packet of seed will sow 50 ft. of row, an oz. 300 ft. It requires from lf^to 2 lbs. of seed
per acre in drills, or 1 to 1% lbs. broadcast.

Turnips do best if sown late in the summer. In the northern states the seed of the quick-growing
kinds, like Purple-Top Strap-Leaf and Purple-Top White Globe should be sown about the middle
of July or the first of August, and the slower kinds a week or two earlier. Farther south, turnips
may be sown later.

The best results are obtained by sowing the seed thinly in drills 20 to 26 inches apart and thin¬
ning the plants so they stand 6 to 8 inches apart in the rows. The seed can also be sown broadcast.
This can be done with a grass seeder if the seed is mixed with about 4 times its bulk of fine sand,
corn meal, or any similar substances. Turnips do best on rather light, moist soil and are of superior
quality when they grow rapidly on rich land.

PURPLE-TOP MILAN. Th is is the earliest variety in cultivation. The bulbs are clear white
with purple tops, smooth and flattened. We have a true very early strain. Pkt. 8c; Oz. 12c;
34 Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c.

Early White Milan. Same as the Purple-Top Milan except that the turnips are pure white.

Pkt. 8c; Oz. 12c; 34 Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c.

PURPLE-TOP WHITE GLOBE. The Standard Globe Turnip. Large, globe-shaped, pure white,
with purple top. Very handsome, a heavy yielder and early. This is a profitable turnip for
market and excellent for table use. This turnip is the same as the old Purple-Top Strap-Leaf,
except that it is globe-shaped and requires a little more time to grow. We offer seed of an excel¬
lent strain, producing very smooth globe shaped roots. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; 3 4 Lb. 25c; Lb. 60c.

SHOGOIN . Best Variety for “greens.” This new Japanese turnip is an excellent variety for
“greens.” The tops grow rapidly and in great abundance; the foliage being nearly twice that of
ordinary turnips and is of mild pleasant flavor when cooked. The turnips are flattened, pure
white and of fine quality. This variety has been found superior to Seven Top for greens in the
South. Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; J4 Lb. 25c; Lb. 60c.

Turnips — continued on next page

Purple-Top White Globe Turnip

TURNIPS— Continued

very large crops. It is also of first-class quality for table use. It is a rapid
grower, and can be sown late. It is often sown in corn fields after last
cultivating. Grows more than half above the ground so that it is easily pulled.

Pkt. 5c; Oz. 10c; yi Lb. 25c; Lb. 70c.

Ruta Bagas or Swede Turnips

The ruta bagas, or Swede turnips, require longer to mature than the common
turnips and should be sown earlier. To get heavy crops of large turnips sow
the seed June 15 to July 1 in rows 2 to 2)4 feet apart. Thin the plants to a
foot apart and keep free from weeds. These turnips make excellent winter feed
for sheep and should be more largely grown for that purpose.

For table use ruta bagas can be sown later and will be of better quality, but
not as large as when sown early. These turnips keep well and may be stored
in the cellar in moist sand or in pits for use during the winter.

MACOMBER. The Best Quality. See page 17. This is a white Swede
turnip and of the finest quality for table use that we know of. Pkt. 10c;

Potted Tomato Plants

Plants grown in pots can be transplanted
without disturbing the earth around the roots

is practically nothing.

Our potted plants are large, strong and
stocky. They are hardened in cold frames so
can be set out early. The photograph to the
right shows their fine sturdy growth.

When shipped the pots are removed and the
ball of earth is carefully wrapped in paper and
securely packed so as not to disturb the roots.

Strawberry Plants

Delicious, fresh strawberries are
easy to have if you get good plants.

Set out strong, freshly dug plants of
the best varieties and the rest is
simple. Merely keep the weeds out
and you will have fine strawberries.

Our plants are fresh dug and are
guaranteed to reach the purchaser in
good condition. If any should he
damaged on the way we will replace
them without charge if notified with¬
in two days after the receipt of the
plants.

Strawberry plants should be set
out in the spring as early as the
ground can be gotten in good con¬
dition. The rows should be 3 H ft.
apart and the plants 12 to 18 in.
apart in the rows. Complete direc¬
tions for raising strawberries will be
found in our pamphlet on the “Cul¬
ture of Vegetables and Flowers”
which will be sent free with any order if requested.

Orders for plants will be entered at any time
and the plants will be sent at the proper time for
setting them out. We cannot agree to send plants to
the Pacific Coast or to the Gulf Coast States as straw-
berry plants cannot be successfully transported so far and we cannot
furnish them at the time they should be set out in these localities.
Write for prices on large lots. We cannot send plants to Canada.

DELICIOUS

Sweet and Luscious

This variety is well named as it is certainly a most delicious
berry. We consider this one of the best strawberries for the home
garden. It commences to ripen quite early and continues to bear for
a long time. We know of no variety of finer quality.

The berries are smooth and regular in shape, mostly pom tea and
average quite large. They are of good deep red all through and iairly
firm, but not as much so as some other varieties. The plants are
vigorous and healthy and produce well. The season is medium early.
Perfect flowers. Doz. 35c; 50 plants 90c; 100 plants $1.50 postpaid.
Not prepaid, 1000 plants $8.00. 500 at the 1000 rate.

PREMIER

The Largest and Best Early Variety

We regard this as the largest and best early variety. The berries
are exceptionally large, deep bright red all over and are of fine
quality. They ripen very early and the plants are strong, healthy and
very productive. On account of the large size and handsome appear¬
ance of the Premier berries they are always in demand making this
variety one of the most profitable to raise for market and roadside
sales. Perfect flowers. Doz. 3 5c; 50 plants 90c; 100 plants $1.40
postpaid. Not prepaid, 1000 plants $7.50. 500 or more are furnished

at the 1000 rate.

SHERMAN

Large and Heavy Yielding

This is one of the most prolific varieties we have ever raised. The
plants are vigorous and produce wonderful crops of large, smooth,
almost round, deep red berries of high quality. This variety is re¬
markable on account of its great productiveness and long season
habits. The berries commence to ripen medium early but the plants
continue to bear long after other kinds have stopped. The flowers are
imperfect so do not fertilize themselves. The Sherman, therefore,
should be raised in connection with other varieties. Two rows of
Sherman and one row of some other kind will produce excellent
results. Doz. 40c; 50 plants $1.00; 100 plants $1.60 postpaid. Not
prepaid, 1000 plants $10.00. 500 at the 1000 rate.

MULCH PAPER FOR STRAWBERRIES

Mulch paper has proved an excellent aid in growing fine straw¬
berries. The paper conserves moisture, keeps weeds from growing up
among the plants, prevents mud splashing on the berries.

Easy to use — Just lay the paper (directions on package), poke a
nole in the ground, through the paper and set in the plant.

Garden size — (45 ft .- 18 in . wide), 75c postpaid.

See page 98 for prices of mulch paper in larger quantities.

Culver Strawberries

Two New Strawberries of Quality

These two new berries originated at the New York State Agri¬
cultural Experiment Station at Geneva. They are the results of
crosses between Premier and Marshal, and are recommended by the
New York State Fruit Testing Cooperative Association in their
1932-33 “Catalog of New Fruits.”

CLERMONT. Vigorous, Hardy and Productive. This is a very
early variety, ripening with Premier and in many other respects
being even superior to that well known variety. The berries are
very large, handsome and regular in shape and of good quality.
They are firm and do not bruise easily. The plants are more
vigorous than most of the old varieties, hardy and very productive.
This berry is recommended as a commercial variety for local and
roadside markets and also as a fine home berry. Doz. 60c;
50 plants $1.50; 100 plants $2.75 postpaid.

CULVER. For Home Canning. This is a very high quality berry.
The deep red color carried through to the center and sprightly
flavor make it a most excellent kind for canning. The berries are
verv large, regular and cone shaped. They do not stand handling
quite as well as Clermont but the quality is better, and we recom¬
mend them for the home garden where quality counts. The plants
are vigorous, productive and healthy. Matures in midseason.
Doz. 60c; 50 plants $1.50; 100 plants $2.75 postpaid.

Fall or Everbearing Strawberries

You get a crop the first year!

These varieties start to produce fruit almost as soon as the plants
are set out. Plants set out in the Spring commence to bear ripe fruit
in August and continue to bear until freezing weather. The following
year they produce a crop in June, the same as the common kinds,
and also another crop in August
and September.

Note — When the plants are
first set out the flowers should be
carefully picked off and none allow¬
ed to produce fruit until the plants
have become well established which
will be six to eight weeks.

It is important to set out the
plants early in the spring, so do not
delay ordering them.

MASTODON. The Largest and

Best Everbearing. The fruit is
rounded conical in shape,
smooth and glossy, bright red
and very sweet, being more free
from acidity than any strawberry
we know of. The plants we offer
are exceptionally strong and vig¬
orous and will produce large
yields of big berries. Doz. 45c;

50 plants $1.25; 100 plants $2.00
postpaid. _ _ Mastodon

“Just a few words of appreciation and commendation for the fine
stocky plants you sent me the latter part of May. Never saw such full
rooted healthy looking strawberry plants, Delicious Sherman and
Mastodon. Set them out the first of June. Kept the blossoms off of the
Mastodon untill July first and have had almost daily pickings since
the first of A ugust. The largest berries I ever saw. T hey are th e wonder
of my neighbors. Some measure 4 34 inches in circumference. Had
tried ‘everbearing’ kinds twice before with very poor results but am
more than satisfied with Mastodon.” Frank C. Dutton, Westerlo, N. Y .,
Sept. 10, 1932. _

Other Small Fruits

Eor the convenience of our customers we are offering this year

sturdy, well grown plants and free from disease.

A row of the bush fruits or grapes will form an admirable back¬
ground for your garden, and in addition give you delicious desserts
throughout the season and many jars of fine preserves and jellies
for the winter months.

Raspl)

ernes

Set plants in the spring 2 ft. apart in the row. The rows should be
6 ft. apart. Keep free from weeds and the following year after planting
you will have a good crop of berries.

NEWBURGH. (New.) Mosaic Free Red. This new-
red raspberry has been called the "perfect rasp¬
berry,” and has been recommended by the New York
State Fruit Testing Cooperative Association in their
1932-33 Catalog of New Fruits as "the best red
raspberry under cultivation."

The fruit does not crumble and is large and Arm.

It is without peer as a keeper and shipper. The
color is a bright red and the flavor sweet and most
delicious.

The plant of Newburgh is very robust and hardy
and bears enormous crops of fruit. It is an early
'midseason variety being three or four days earlier
than Cuthbert. Newburgh seems to be entirely
resistant to Mosaic. By all means have some
Newburgh in your garden. Strong 1 year Plants:

6 for $1.25; doz. $2.25; 25 for $3.75 postpaid.

LATHAM. (Red .) This is without doubt one of the best red rasp¬
berries that has been introduced in many years. The fruit is very
large, of a beautiful deep red color, firm of texture and of good
flavor. The plants are hardy, resistant to Mosaic, and enormously
productive, fruiting early and continuing to bear over a long period
of time. The variety originated in Minnesota and is now being set
throughout the country more than any other kind. This berry has
proved one of the best and most profitable varieties to grow for the
roadside stand and market. Strong 1 year Plants, $1.00 per doz.;

25 for $2.00 postpaid. By express not prepaid; $5.00 per 100.

Newburgh Red Raspberries

COLUMBIAN. (Purple.) Finest for Canning. For home canning
there is probably no more delicious raspberry than the Columbian.
The fruit is very large, fairly solid, and of an attractive purplish
red color. The vines are vigorous and hardy and probably is the
most productive raspberry now in cultivation. This is a most
satisfactory kind for the home garden, and an extremely profitable
kind to grow for the roadside stand and market as these attractive
berries always sell well. Strong 1 year Plants: Doz. 65c; 25 for $1.20
postpaid. By express, not prepaid $3.00 per 100.

SHUTTLEWORTH. (New.) Mosaic Proof Black Raspberry. This new
large black raspberry or "Black Cap" has proved itself to be practically immune
to disease. No mosaic has been found in the plants.

The berries are black in color, large, firm and handsome. Shuttleworth is a
variety of very superior quality.

The bushes are strong and sturdy growers, yielding immense crops of fine
berries. We feel that this is the best Black Cap that has yet been introduced
and recommend it both for the home garden and market.

Strong 1 year plants: Doz. $1.25; 25 for $2.00 postpaid. By express not
prepaid $7.00 per 100.

CUMBERLAND. (Black .) One of the hardiest and most productive black rasp¬
berries grown. The fruit is large, often growing to %" in diameter, but is not
soft, remaining firm over a considerable period of time. The fruit is of a glossy
purplish black color, very sweet, of rich flavor and with small seeds. This
variety can be depended on to produce good crops of fine fruit under a great
variety of soil and weather conditions. Most excellent for home use, canning
and shipping. Strong 1 year Tip Bushes: Doz. 70c; 25 for $1.25 postpaid. By
express, not prepaid. $3.50 per 100. Strong 2 year Transplanted Bushes: Doz. $1 .25
postpaid. By express not prepaid 25 for $2.00; $7.00 per 100.

Shuttleworth Black Raspberries

Blackberries

Blackberries require well drained but not necessarily rich soil and do best in partial
shade. Set in rows seven to eight feet apart and 2 to 3 feet apart in the rows.

ELDORADO. Due to its very high quality and great productiveness, this is the leading
commercial variety. The berries are long, jet black, rich and sweet in flavor and with¬
out any hard core. The bushes are extremely hardy, and very productive. Strong
1 year plants: Doz. $1.25 postpaid. By express not prepaid 25 for $2.00 ; $5.00 per 100.

BLOWERS. A great favorite among fruit growers. The berries are large, jet black in
color, of delicious flavor and without any core. The fruit begins to ripen in July and
continues until September, making this an extremely productive blackberry. It is
claimed the Blowers will produce 50% more fruit than any other blackberry in culti¬
vation. Strong 1 year plants: Doz. $1.25 postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 25 for $2.00;
$5.00 per 100. _

HARRIS’ SEEDS — 1 933

Harris’ Northern

It is of the greatest importance to growers in the northern parts
of the country to use seed raised in the north. All the seed corn
that we sell (except some of the later varieties which are used
for ensilage) is grown here in Western New York near Lake Ontario.
This insures early maturity because no late corn will get ripe in
this locality. We have never before been in a position to supply
our customers with such fine seed corn at prices as low as they
are this year.

Our seed corn is cured under the most approved methods and
the germination is usually very high, (96 per cent or better).

It may cost a little more to get Harris’ Seed Corn, but when
you get it you can depend on it coming up and producing the
kind of corn you ordered.

HARRIS’ MAMMOTH YELLOW FLINT

Those who want really fine yellow Flint or "State” corn, will find
this variety one of the very best. The ears are big, the kernels
large and the yield equal, if not greater, than any Flint corn
grown, except Hall’s Gold Nugget.

The ears grow very long, some measuring 13 inches and more,
and have eight rows of large, bright yellow kernels and are filled
out to the tips.

The cob is small, the stalks grow about 6 to 8 feet tall, have
numerous broad leaves and make excellent fodder. The ears are
produced well above the ground, so the stalks can be readily cut
with a binder. Many stalks have two good large ears if not planted
too thick. This corn will ripen ready to cut in 90 days from the
time the corn comes up.

For the Silo. Harris Mammoth Yellow Flint is a valuable ensi¬
lage corn in far northern sections (even in Northern Maine) where
dent varieties cannot be grown.

Shelled corn from carefully selected ears all grown here in
Monroe County, N.Y. from our own pedigree seed . 21bs.30c
postpaid. By freight, pk. (14 lbs.) 75c; bu. (56 lbs.) $2.50;
bag of 2 bu. (112 lbs.) $4.50.

SWEEPSTAKES

Northern Grown Registered Certified Seed

This corn has the reputation of being the heaviest yielding variety
that will mature in the Northeastern states. On our own farm it
produced twice as many tons per acre as two other varieties in the
same field. The stalks grow 10 to 12 feet high and are completely
covered with leaves from near the ground to the top. The ears are
immense, being a foot to 15 inches long and 14 to 18 rows of deep
kernels. The color of the kernels varies considerably. The usual
color is yellow shaded with red. This corn will mature perfectly
for the silo by the middle of September when planted the last of
May or first of June.

Much of the seed sold of this variety is grown south of New York
Btate and is not as good for northern conditions as seed grown
further north. The seed we offer was grown for us here in Monroe
County in Northern New York.

The fields and shelled corn samples have been inspected by the
New York State Seed Improvement Association and the seed
certified to be the true type. We are confident that there is
no better Sweepstakes corn grown.

Registered Certified Northern Grown Sweepstakes. 2 lbs.
40c postpaid. By freight, pk. (14 lbs.) 90c; bu. (56 lbs.) $3.00;
2 bu. $5.50.

Sweepstakes (West Branch.) We can also offer good seed of high
germination which was grown from Northern Grown Stock Seed.
This seed is not certified but is superior to much of the Sweep-
stakes offered. Pk. (14 lbs.) 80c; bu. (56 lbs.) $2.65; 2 bu. $4.75.

Treated Corn Grows Better !

We find that seed corn even of high vitality which has been
treated with Semesan Jr. has twice the chance of growing and mak¬
ing a good stand under unfavorable weather conditions, that untreated
seed has. The cost is so small and the method so easy that no grower
can afford not to take advantage of this easy Crop Insurance.

Semesan Jr. 4 oz. 40c; 1 lb. $1.50; 5 lb. $7.00.

Hall’s Gold Nugget

Note the size of the ears compared to a standard bushel crate.

Grown Seed Corn

The Best Corn for the Silo

There is no "best” corn for ensilage for all places. The best kind
for a given locality is the variety that will produce the most matured
grain and the largest yield of stalks and ripen early enough to be out
of danger from killing frost.

Late kinds yield the most, so should be used where the seasons are
long. As we go north, earlier kinds must be used, although the yield
is not quite so large. All well informed dairymen know that they
must have well matured corn go into the silo if they expect to get a
good yield of milk from their cows. They should choose the kind of
corn which they think is early enough to get practically ripe in
their locality.

Many people buy seed corn for ensilage of the local dealer who has
no means of testing it and who buys it where he can get it at the
lowest price, regardless of where it was grown. Varieties are usually
badly mixed and the date of maturity is uncertain, while a good
many find after planting the corn that it is of poor vitality, resulting
in a thin stand and a small yield.

EARLY “RED GLAZE” or King Phillip

This very early Flint or “State” corn always matures even in the
most northern parts of the country. It can be raised in the
Northern parts of the country where other kinds fail to ripen
before frost.

The ears grow 9 to 10 inches long, 8-rowed, have a very small
cob and are well filled to the tips. The color is red. The stalks
grow about 6 or 7 feet tall and are not coarse making the best of
fodder.

Shelled corn from choice ears, all grown here in Monroe County.
2 lbs. 30c postpaid. By freight, pk. (14 lbs.) 75c; bu. (56 lbs.)
$2.50; bag of 2 bu. $4.50.

HALL’S GOLD NUGGET — The Largest Flint Corn

The ears are very large, often 12 to 13 inches long and over 6 inches
around and weigh over a pound. The kernels are simply im¬
mense, being twice as large as most other varieties. To those
who are accustomed to raising the ordinary yellow "state” corn
with small kernels, these immense ears are astonishing. The kernels
are so large that an ear, having as it does only eight rows, is twice
as large around as common eight-rowed corn and usually much
longer. Two of these big ears are often produced on one stalk. It
is no more trouble to husk, handle and shell a big ear than a small
one and you get twice as much corn from the big ear. The stalks
grow 8 to 9 feet high and are well covered with leaves. The
fodder is of excellent quality and the quantity produced is very
large.

This is a corn for the man who has good land and is prepared to
give it good culture. It will respond to good treatment and produce
immense yields. For only average land some smaller and earlier
corn would be better.

This corn matures medium early and is suitable for almost
any section of the country except the northern parts of
New York and New England and a few places of high elevation.
In most of New York State, Connecticut, and all places south and
west of these states the Gold Nugget Corn will mature perfectly in
a normal season and produce immense yields on rich good soil.

For the Silo. The Gold Nugget is one of the best varieties for
ensilage in the northern parts of the country. It makes a very
rich silage as the proportion of grain to stalks is high. You can
now buy the best northern grown seed of this variety as cheap as
the ordinary strains.

Corn raised here in Monroe County, New York, from carefully
selected ears only. 2 lbs. 35c postpaid. By freight, pk. (14 lbs.)
80c; bu. (56 lbs.) $2.65; 2 bu. $4.75.

Protect Your Seed Corn from Crows
And Other Seed Pulling Birds

We have found that crows will not bother corn treated with Stan¬
ley’s Crow Repellant. The small cost is many times repaid, by the
time and labor saved in not having to replant. Half pint (treats 1 bu.)
60c. Pint (treats 2 bu.) $1.00. Quart (treats 4 bu.) $1.75 postpaid.

DAVIS’ IMPROVED EARLY HURON — The Earliest Dent Corn Grown

This is a grand variety for New York and New England and is the earliest Dent
corn with which we are acquainted. It is earlier than most strains of Flint or “State
Corn” and always gets ripe here if planted reasonably early.

The ears are of medium size, 16-rowed, with deep yellow kernels and red cob. The ker¬
nels are quite ‘deep” and the cob small. The stalks grow 7 feet tall and are not coarse.

The yield of grain is greater than the Flint or “State” varieties. It yielded
87 bu. of shelled corn per acre at the Connecticut Experiment Station some
years ago, exceeding any other equally early kind.

We guarantee every bushel of this corn that we offer was raised in Western
New York.

For the Silo. This is a very fine corn for the silo in the most northern
parts of the country. It is so early that thoroughly matured corn can be
produced before danger from frost, even in northern localities.

We offer Northern Grown pedigree seed of the highest quality. 2 lbs. 30c
postpaid. By freight, pk. (14 lbs.) 75c; bu. (56 lbs.) $2.50; bag of 2 bu. $4.50.

CORNELL NO. 11

This is an early Yellow Dent corn that has been bred up at
the Cornell Agricultural Experiment Station.

Cornell No. 11 is being grown more and more every year for
ensilage. In Western and Northern New York, Massachusetts
and further north, it matures early enough for this purpose and
yields immense crops of very rich fodder with abundance of grain.

For Connecticut, southern New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and
southern Michigan this is one of the best varieties for grain as well
as for the silo.

Cornell No. 11 has proved to be one of the heaviest yielding
varieties that is early enough to mature in the northern states. It
is quite similar to Davis’ Early Huron, but is not quite so early and
the ears and stalks are both a little larger. The ears are of good
length, 9 to 10 inches long, and have 14 to 18 rows and small cobs.
The kernels are bright yellow, large, and very “deep” for so early a
variety. The cob is red. The stalks grow 8 ft. tall and have an
abundance of leaves.

Registered Certified Seed. Grown exclusively for us here in
Monroe County. There is no better seed of this variety to be had.
2 lbs. 40c postpaid. By freight, pk. (14 lbs.) 85c;bu. (56 lbs.) $2.75;
2 bu. $5.00.

LEAMING, IMPROVED EARLY STRAIN. Our improved early
strain grown in northern Ohio matures a week earlier than corn
grown in Iowa and Nebraska and is much better for the eastern
states. This strain of Learning will ripen the ears dry and hard in
western New York in a favorable season. It is one of the most
popular kinds for ensilage in this locality and farther south.
Pk. 60c; bu. $2.00; 2 bu. bag $3.50.

WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT. One of the very best varieties.
The stalks grow a little larger than Learning and the corn matures
fully as early. The ears are large, 14 to 16-rowed, with deep ker¬
nels which are yellow tipped with white. We highly recommend
this corn for ensilage. The seed we offer is high grade and of the
strongest vitality. Northern Ohio grown. Pk 80c; bu. $2.65;
2 bu. bag $4.75.

Davis’ Improved Early Huron

CORNELL No. 11. We can also furnish choice seed of high ger¬
mination which is not of our growing and is not certified, but is as
good or better than the seed sold by many dealers. Pk. (14 lbs.)
65c; bu. (56 lbs.) $2.20; 2 bu. bag $4.10.

Luce’s Favorite. This is a popular corn for the silo in New York
and New England. The stalks are tall, often 8 to 10 feet high, and
very leafy. The ears are long and have 8 rows of very large kernels.
This is a half-Dent corn, being a cross between a Flint corn and
some large Dent variety. It has the leafy stalks, long ears and early
maturity of the Flint, and the tall, vigorous stalks of the Dent.
Pk. 80c; bu. $2.65; 2 bu. bag $4.75.

Eureka. The stalks grow very tall and produce wonderful crops of
fodder, but it is so late that often no ears at all are produced when
grown in the North. If a man wants to fill his silo with stalks the
Eureka will do it, but there will be no matured grain in the ensilage
unless grown south of New York. We offer some true seed grown
in Virginia. Pk. 80c; bu. $2.65; 2 bu. bag $4.75.

Evergreen Sweet Corn for Fodder. Sweet corn makes the finest
kind of fodder and it is rich in sugar and so tender that cattle eat
it up clean. There is no corn that produces such excellent fodder.
There is little or no waste in feeding it and the crop produced is as
large as from field corn and makes fodder of much superior qual¬
ity. The seed we offer is genuine Evergreen Sweet Corn and is of
good strong germination. Pk. (10 lbs.) 85c; bu. (40 lbs.) $2.75;
2 bu. $5.00.

Barley

Cheaper Feed for Hogs, Cattle or Horses. Barley can be raised
at much less expense and labor than corn and is of equal food value.
An acre of barley will often produce nearly as much as an acre of
corn and the expense of raising it is less than half.

Sow very early on good land after corn or potatoes. Fertilize if
the land is not rich. Barley is an excellent crop with which to sow
grass or clover seed. It does not grow as tall as oats and does not
shade the ground too much, as oats often do.

Whether we like it or not it looks as if beer will again be legalized.
This will undoubtedly increase the demand for good barley.

Alpha Barley

This is now the most popular vari¬
ety and is more largely grown than
any other kinds in the Eastern
States.

This is a comparatively new vari¬
ety which originated at the Agricul¬
tural College at Cornell University.

It is a two-rowed barley with very
large, plump heavy grain. The heads
are usually 4 to 5 inches long and
well filled. The straw is long, very
strong and stands up well.

This barley matures later than the
common 6 rowed and is therefore
better for raising with oats, as the
two crops mature at the same time.

Alpha Barley

The yield on good land is usually 45 to 50 bu. per acre. We have
had yields on our own farm of 60 bu. per acre. 45 bu. of barley is
equal in weight to 38 bu. of shelled corn, which is about the usual
yield per acre.

We should be glad to send any one interested a sample.

Certified Seed. Peck 65c; single bt». $1.50; bag of 2 bu. (96 lbs.)
$2.80; 10 bu. or more $1.25 per bu.

Spring Rye

This variety of rye will produce fairly good crops when sown in
the spring. In some seasons the yield is equal to winter rye, but as
a rule winter rye yields better. The straw is similar to winter rye
but the heads are not quite as large. Pk. 55c; bu. (56 lbs.) $1.85;
2 bu. or more at $1 .75 per bu.

Buckwheat

Buckwheat is easily raised and will make a profitable crop on
rather poor land, where other grain would fail. It is also largely used
as a cover crop in orchards. Sow in June or July, using 3 pecks
to 1 bushel of seed to the acre.

CERTIFIED JAPANESE. This is the largest buckwheat. The
plant makes a more vigorous and taller growth than the common
kinds and yields more. We have some very fine Certified Seed of
the true Japanese variety. The kernels are very large; nearly twice
the size of ordinary Japanese, dark brown or black, plump and
heavy. Sample will be sent on request. Peck 50c; bu. (48 lbs.)
$1.75; bag of 2 bu. $3.25. Any greater quantity $1.45 per bu.
Japanese. Not Certified , but first class seed. Peck 45c ; bu. (48 lbs.)

$1.50; bag of 2 bu. $2.80. Any greater quantity $1.35 per bu.
Silver Hull. The kernels are gray and are much smaller than the
Japanese variety. They are very plump and heavy and make
excellent flour. Peck 45c; bu. (48 lbs.) $1.50; bag 2 bu. $2.80.
Any greater quantity $1.35 per bu.

Speltz or Emmer

A Russian grain that resembles oats somewhat and is grown in the
same way. Its principal value is for poor, dry land where oats or
wheat would not give a profitable crop. It will grow and produce a
crop on land that is so poor and dry that oats or barley would fail
entirely and it yields more bushels per acre than either under the
same conditions. It is often mixed with oats and helps to make a
larger yield. Grind before feeding. Sow 2 y2 bushels per acre the same
way as you would barley. Peck 50c ; bu. (40 lbs .) $1 .25 ; 2 bu . or more
$1.15 per bu.

Spring Wheat

Spring wheat can be raised anywhere in the north-eastern states as
W9ll as in the West. Sow as early as possible using 2 bu. per acre.
Marquis. A very early beardless wheat that succeeds well in the
East, producing larger yields than any other kind. This is due to
its earliness and freedom from rust. Peck 65c; bu. $2.25; 2 bu. or
more $2.00 per bu.

Winter Wheat

Honor. This is considered the best white winter wheat now grown
The heads are of good size, smooth chaff, and well filled with
kernels of medium hardness and very plump. The milling qualities
are very good. The yield is much higher than common kinds.

We will have certified seed of Honor Wheat to offer in August.

51

Certified Seed Oats

Good clean seed free from smut, rust and weed seeds is im¬
portant. It is also important to sow seed that is pure and of the
best variety.

The seed oats we offer were raised for us on our own and neigh¬
boring farms and the fields were inspected by representatives of the
N. Y. Seed Improvement Association and certified as practically
free from disease and weed seeds and not mixed with other varieties.
Such seed not only produces larger yields than common oats but the
product is worth more. It will not pay to use common oats for
seed when these improved high yielding kinds can be procured at
such moderate prices.

Cornellian Oats

This is a remarkable heavy yielding variety and is very largely
grown in New York State. The heads are large, branching or tree¬
shaped, and stand up well. The kernels are long, rather slender but
have very thin hulls so the "meat” is large. The color is gray shading
to almost brown on some kernels. The yield is often 80 bu. per acre,
on very ordinary land, which is 20 bu. more than common kinds
produce under the same conditions.

These are not handsome oats to look at, but the quality for feeding
is so superior on account of the thin hulls, and the yield is so large
that they should be extensively grown. Usually the object in raising
oats is to get the largest yield per acre of high quality oats for feeding.
This the Cornellian will do.

Certified Seed. Pure seed of very high quality. Peck 30c; single
bu. (32 lbs.) $1.00; bag (3 bu.) $2.70; 9 bu. or more 75c per bu.

Harvesting Cornellian Oats on Moreton Farm

This year is the finest opportunity farmers have had in many years
to start over again with clean pure stocks. High yielding Certified
and Registered Certified oats are so low in price that no one can
afford to plant common mixed oats.

Ithacan Oats

The heads are branching or panicle type ; the spikelets usually have
two grains and often three; the straw is medium tall and stiff. The
yield is as high as any variety and much higher than common kinds.

These oats mature medium early and do not lodge even on rich
land in a normal season. Sow 2 )4 bu. per acre.

Certified Seed. Peck 30c; bu. (32 lbs.) $1.00; bag of 3 bu. (96 lbs.)

$2.70; 9 bu. or more at 75c per bu.

Harris’ Certified Seed Potatoes

Certified WHITE GOLD Potatoes

The Potato of Quality

Almost everyone at the present time knows the importance of
using seed potatoes that are free from the diseases that are trans¬
mitted by the seed. Diseases such as mosaic, leaf roll, wilt, etc.
may not be very apparent but they reduce the yield very much. The
only way to raise potatoes at a profit is to plant seed free
from these diseases. With the present low price of seed
potatoes, it will pay you well to discard your old seed
and plant only Certified Seed Potatoes.

All of our seed potatoes are from crops that have been
inspected by the N.Y. Seed Improvement Association and
certified as practically free from disease. Such potatoes
are worth three times as much for seed as ordinary stock.

Certified Irish Cobblers

The leading early potato. It yields better than any other
kind that is equally early. The potatoes are round, white,
have rather deep eyes of fine quality and very early. We
consider the true Irish Cobbler one of the best early potatoes.

Much of the so called Irish Cobbler seed sold is either
not that variety at all or is mixed with other kinds which
are usually later and make the crop mature unevenly. The
seed we offer is true to name.

No. 1. Certified Seed. Peck 80c; single bu. $1.85; sack of 2)4
bu. $3.75; barrel of 3 bu. $5.00.

Second Size. (Certified) . These are small potatoes not quite l^rge
enough to pass the first grade. They are from the same certified fields
and make good seed. Peck 70c; bu. $1.65; sack (2)4 bu.) $3.25;
barrel of 3 bu. $4.40.

Certified Golden Rural or Rural Russet

Heaviest Yielding Kind

After raising this variety for years, we are convinced that it will
produce larger crops one year after another than any other kind
where conditions of soil and climate suit it, as they do here and in a
large section of country in the northern states.

It will pay any grower to discard seed potatoes that he is not sure
are free from disease and plant Certified Golden Rurals even if the
cost is three times as much. An increased yield of 100 bushels more
per acre will undoubtedly result.

The Golden Rural or Rural Russet has very strong, vigorous
healthy vines that do not usually blight. The leaves are dark green
while the stems are purple and often as big around as your finger.
The potatoes are round, somewhat flattened, eyes quite shallow and
the slightly russet skin is very rarely affected with scab. The flesh is
pure white, very firm and of fine quality. Each hill usually has 7 to 9
good sized potatoes. There are rarely any small ones.

No. 1. Certified Seed. Peck 60c; bu. $1.60; sack (2)4 bu.)
$3.10; barrel of 3 bu. $4.25.

Certified No. 9 or Heavy Weight

This potato has steadily won a place for itself each year near the
top of the list for yield in New York State. There are very few
kinds equal to it.

The potatoes are round to oblong, have fairly numerous medium
shallow eyes, purple sprouts, and smooth white skin. The vines
are rather stocky and very vigorous and resistant to disease. This
is one of the best of the Rural or Carman class and is fast replacing
many other kinds for the late or main crop.

No.l. Certified Seed . Peck 60c; single bu. $1.60; sack (2 )4 bu.)
$3.10; barrel of 3 bu. $4.25.

We have been greatly impressed by the fine quality and attractive
appearance of this new potato. We have never eaten a potato of
better quality than White Gold. The potatoes are somewhat oval in
shape, as shown in the picture on this page, with very smooth white
skin and shallow eyes. We have never seen a potato that is so snowy
white when cooked as this kind.

This is a very early potato and yields well. The vines are strong
and sturdy. We highly recommend White Gold as a very fine kind
for the home garden and it will undoubtedly command a premium
over other kinds when sold at roadside stands and in markets.

No.l Certified Seed. Peck 80c; bu. $1 .85 ; sack (2 J4 bu.) $3 .75 ;
barrel of 3 bu. $5.00.

Second Size Certified. From the same certified field but not
large enough for number ones. Peck 70c; bu $1.65; sack (2)4 bu.)
$3.25; barrel of 3 bu. $4.40.

PLEASE READ. Prices here given are for the potatoes care¬
fully put up for shipment and delivered to freight house or express
office without extra charge, but the purchaser is to pay the freight
or express charges. Please write for prices on large lots.

By Parcel Post. Potatoes can be sent by parcel post if the amount
to cover the necessary postage is added to the price. A peck weighs
15 lbs. and a bushel 60 lbs. See page 4.

Potatoes Shipped in Sacks or Barrels. We can ship potatoes
either in barrels or in sacks at the prices quoted. Sacks hold 2 )4 bu.
(150 lbs.). Barrels hold 3 bu. (180 lbs.). The cost of barrels is
considerably higher than sacks, so we have to charge a higher rate
when the potatoes are to be shipped in barrels.

Shipping Season. It is usually safe to ship potatoes from here
about April 1st. We can ship earlier in paper-lined barrels if our
customers wish us to do so, with little risk, but we will not hold our¬
selves responsible for loss by freezing if the potatoes are ordered sent
earlier than in our judgment it is safe to ship them.

Half bushels and half pecks will be sent at half the bushel and
peck price. We will send two or three different varieties in a barrel
without extra charge, but we can send only one variety in a sack.

Seeds of Forage Crops, Cover Crops, Ftc.

There are many plants suitable for forage and soiling that ought to
be better known than they are. They are of great value both for stock
feeding and improving worn-out soil.

All prices quoted here are f.o.b. Coldwater except where marked
postpaid and are subject to market changes. We will quote prices by
letter on any seed required.

SUDAN GRASS

A Wonderful Forage Plant

Sudan grass succeeds well on dry soil where other millets would not
amount to anything. Immense yields of excellent hay are obtained,
especially when the seed is sown quite early and two cuttings are
made. If left to mature it grows 5 to 6 ft. tall and makes excellent
ensilage. Cows, horses and sheep eat it readily and eat it up clean.

Sudan grass does best on medium light soil or any good corn land.
It can be sown broadcast, but does better if drilled in rows 20 to 24
inches apart and cultivated two or three times. Use at the rate of
10 to 12 lbs. of seed per acre in drills or 20 to 25 lbs. broadcast.

The seed should be sown about the time corn is planted in your
locality. It can be sown as late as July. Lb. 20c; 5 lbs. 50c postpaid.
By freight not prepaid: 25 lbs. $1.50; 100 lbs. $5.00; 50 lbs. or more
will be supplied at the 100 lb. price.

Canada Field Peas

Grown principally for the vines which make hay, equal to the best
clover hay. Sow with oats and cut when the oats head out, but before
the grain is ripe. We have used this hay for sheep, horses and cows
with the best results. It is as easily cured as clover and will yield
large crops. Sow 1 x/i bu. of peas and 1 bu. of oats per acre early in
the spring. Peck $1 .00; bu. (60 lbs.) $3.50; bag 2 bu. $6.50. Price
for larger lots will be quoted by letter at any time.

GROW COVER CROPS THIS YEAR

You will probably have some idle land this year. The wise
thing for you to do would be to sow this land in some cover
crops to turn under. This will not only keep your land free
from weeds, but will put it in better condition to grow crops
when times are better.

Cow Peas

This is really a bean and is used for both hay and plowing under.
Whippoorwill. The most popular variety. Grows very rapidly and
matures early so is valuable for the North. The upright vines are
not coarse so make excellent hay. Sow in June and the crop can be
cut in August. Use about 1 bushel of seed per acre in drills 28 inches
apart. For hay or plowing under sow broadcast using 1 y bushels
per acre. Do not confuse these with Canada Field Peas which are
not the same. Qt. (2 lbs.) 30c postpaid. By freight: Peck $1.10;
bu. (60 lbs.) $3.50; 2 bu. or more at $3.25 per bu. Prices subject to
market changes.

Millet

JAPANESE. One of the largest. It grows so strong that the stalks
look like small corn fodder. Very large crops can be raised, nearly
double that of common millet. The hay is relished by horses, cows
and sheep. Even when allowed to ripen its seed and threshed
out, the hay is readily eaten by stock, there being no waste as in
the case of corn stalks.

Sow about the same time corn is planted. Broadcast at the rate
of about 10 or 12 quarts (or pounds) per acre. Cut when it heads
out, and before the seed ripens. It does best on sandy loam or
medium light soil. Peck 60c; bu. (35 lbs.) $2.00; 2 bu. or more at
$ 1.90 per bu.

Golden Millet. Makes a good heavy growth of hay suitable for
cattle. Sow in July for fall crop. 2 y feet high, has large yellow and
brown seed heads. Use 3 pecks per acre. Peck 80c; $2.65 per bu.
(50 lbs.) ; 2 bu. or more at $2.50 per bu.

Hungarian. This millet matures a week or so earlier than Golden
Millet, and makes fine quality hay. Grows 2 feet tall. The heads
are brown. Peck 60c; $2.00 per bu. (48 lbs.); 2 bu. or more at
$1.90 per bu .

Sorghum or Cane

Makes excellent feed for late summer when pastures get short.
When grown for fodder or hay sow with a grain drill. It can be cut
with a binder or mower. Cures in the field and can be fed as wanted
Sow first half of June and harvest in August. Yields 6 to 8 tons per
acre. Use 1 bu. of seed per acre.

Early Amber. The best early variety for fodder in the northern
states. Lb. 20c postpaid. By freight: Peck 80c; bu. (50 lbs.)
$2.60; 2 bu. or more at $2.50 per bu.

Soy or Soja Beans

The Soy Bean is a most valuable plant for feeding stock. The vines
can be cut and used as hay or they may be left until the beans are
ripe and fed without threshing. Will yield 3 to 4 tons of hay and 20
bushels of grain per acre. Drill in rows about 28 inches apart and
cultivate two or three times. This way it requires about % bushel of
seed per acre. The crop can be cut with a mower and handled like
clover or alfalfa. Soy bean hay ranks very high as food for cattle
and sheep. Cows give more milk and sheep fatten better on Soy bean
hay than any other kind.

For the Silo. It has been found that Soy beans cut as soon as the
beans mature and mixed with corn fodder make very rich ensilage
far superior to corn alone. Use about 3 qts. of Soy beans and 8 to
10 qts. of corn per acre. Sow and cut at the same time.

For Plowing Under. A crop of Soy beans plowed under in the
fall adds a larger amount of nitrogen and humus to the soil. This
bean is now largely used in this way to restore worn-out soils. Sow in
drills 15 to 20 inches apart, using 1 bushel of seed per acre.

Wilson Soy Beans. (Black Seed.) Best for the North . An early
variety best suited to the northern states for either seed produc¬
tion, hay or ensilage. The plants are 3 to 4 feet tall, upright with
few branches near the ground. Foliage is heavy and the yield
above most other kinds. Its fine stems make hay of high quality.
2 lbs. (qt.) 30c postpaid. By freight, 15 1bs.(pk.) 65c ; 60 lbs. (bu.)
$2.00; bag of 2 bu. $3.70.

Sunflower

Quite extensively grown for feeding. Sow in rows 3 to 3 y2 feet
apart and thin to a foot apart in the rows. Treat the same as corn.
Use 10 to 12 lbs. of seed per acre.

Sunflower stalks are often used to mix with corn when filling a silo.
It is claimed that the mixture makes better ensilage than pure corn.
Mammoth Russian. Best for Seed and Silage. The heads are
often one foot across and are filled with striped seed which makes
excellent feed for hens. Pkt. 5c ; Oz. 8c ; Lb. 2 5c ; 5 Lbs. 70c postpaid.
By freight: 25 lbs. to 50 lbs. 9c per lb; 100 lbs. $8.00.

Dwarf Essex Rape

An Excellent Forage Crop for Sheep and Hogs

Rape produces a mass of broad, smooth leaves which are greatly
relished by sheep and hogs. It can be pastured off and when stock is
removed, if not eaten too close, it will grow up again and give a second
crop. It does best on rather moist land but will do well on any good
soil. The seed is usually sown broadcast, using about 5 pounds or
2 H quarts per acre. Sow from the first to the middle of August.
Dwarf Essex Rape, The Best Variety. This seed is far superior to
that usually sold. 20c per lb. postpaid. By freight: 10 lbs. for $1.15;
25 lbs. or more at 9c per lb.; 100 lbs. $7.50.

Hairy or Sand Vetch

(Vicia viliosa)

Hairy Vetch is a trailing plant of the pea family growing 4 to 5 feet
in length and having very dark green leaves and small stems. It
makes excellent hay, but is most largely used as a cover crop. Being
a Legume it has the power to extract nitrogen from the air, so a crop
of vetch adds much fertility to the soil as well as a large quantity of
humus.

Vetches are largely used for sowing in orchards and on any land
that is available before the middle of September. The best time to
sow is the middle of August to the middle of September. It is best
to mix the vetch seed with rye, using about 1 bushel of grain and 25
to 35 pounds of vetch per acre.

It is best to drill the seed in, but it may be sown broadcast if well
covered. The rye helps to support the vetch vines and makes them
easier to mow or plow under. On fairly good soil, vetch will make a
great growth, forming a mat of vegetation two feet deep.

Sow in Corn. A mixture of vetch and rye or wheat may be sown
in corn after the last cultivating. If the corn is high the seed may be
broadcast from horseback. This makes an ideal seed bed for potatoes.
Plow before the rye heads out.

HAIRY VETCH. Lb. 25c postpaid. By freight: Peck (15 lbs.) $2.25;
bu. (60 lbs.) $7.80; 100 lbs. $12.00.

Rye and Vetch Mixed. We can furnish after harvest next summer

ticulars and prices next August to any one who will write us.

Spring Vetch

Vicia satira. Similar to the Hairy Vetch but has larger leaves and is
not hardy enough to stand the winter in the North. It is often
called "Winter Vetch” in the South. Lb. 20c postpaid. By freight:

Peck (15 lbs.) $1.30; bu. (60 lbs.) $4.20; 100 lbs. $6.00.

A Good Inexpensive Seeder

The “Cyclone” is a practicable broadcast seeder and should

Alfalfa, Clover and Grass Seeds

We Sell Grass and Clover Seeds of the highest grades only.

There are no finer seeds sold anywhere, no matter under what
“brand” they may be put up.

If you want this kind of seed write us for sample and prices for
what you need. You can get seed of ordinary quality at the
corner store.

The prices quoted below are for the seeds delivered to the
railroad or express companies here, except where marked
“postpaid,” the purchaser to pay freight or express charges.
See page 4. We make no charge for bags.

If the seed is to be sent by mail add the necessary amount
for postage.

Please write us for prices when ready to buy grass seeds,
stating amount needed.

Alfalfa

We need not say that every farm should have a field of alfalfa.
Everyone knows it. The thing to do is to get started. Sow some
this spring with wheat, oats, or barley. It is not difficult to raise
and is worth more for feeding than any other hay.

Culture of Alfalfa. The seed may be sown either in the spring or
in July or August. In the spring seed may be sown on wheat or with
oats or barley. When sown on winter wheat, the wheat should be
harrowed after the alfalfa seed is sown. Sow 15 to 25 pounds of the
seed per acre, depending on the quality of the seed and how well the
land is prepared. For summer seeding plow the land early (this is
important) and keep it well worked and free from weeds until the
seed is sown in July. If no alfalfa has ever been grown on the land
before, it is advisable to inoculate the seed. See “Inoculation
Cultures” described in back of this catalogue.

For spring seeding prepare the land as for oats or barley, drill in
barley or an early variety of oats, using about 1 H bushels per acre.
Sow the alfalfa on the drilled land and roll it if dry. It is a good plan
to cut the barley or oats for hay when it heads out and before it
gets ripe. This, however, is not necessary unless the oats lodge.

ALFALFA. Northern Grown Seed. The seed we offer was grown
in the northwest and is of a very hardy strain. This seed is 99.50
per cent pure.

This northern grown seed is the only safe kind. Alfalfa from
southern seed is apt to winter-kill the first season. It does not pay
to run the risk for the sake of saving a dollar or two on the seed.

Lb. 35c postpaid; Peck (15 lbs.) $3.90; bu. (60 lbs.) $13.00;
100 lbs. $21.65.

GRIMM ALFALFA. For certain soils and exposed fields where com¬
mon alfalfa is apt to winter-kill the Grimm variety is superior, as it
resists cold weather and does not heave.

Montana Certified Grimm. This is exceptionally fine seed of
the very hardiest strain. It is 99.50 % pure and germinates 90%
or over. Lb. 60c postpaid. Peck ( 1 5 lbs.) $5.00 ; bu . (60 lbs.) $16.50 ;
100 lbs. $27.50. Special price will be quoted by letter on large
lots at any time.

Clover

ALSIKE CLOVER. Grows well on low, wet land where Red Clover
does not thrive. For heavy or wet land, it is a good plan to mix
Alsike and Red Clover, using about half of each. Alsike being a
perennial will last for a good many years, either for hay or in pas¬
ture. It makes fine hay of high feeding value. It is very valuable
in pastures. Sow 3 to 5 quarts, or 6 to 10 lbs. of seed per acre if
used alone. Seed of highest quality. Lb. 25c postpaid. Peck
(15 lbs.) $2.60; bu. (60 lbs.) $8.70; 100 lbs. $14.50. Lowest
prices will be quoted at any time.

RED CLOVER, Medium. This is the common Red Clover, so ex¬
tensively grown. It is a biennial in most places, living but two
years if allowed to seed. Usually sown early in the spring on winter
wheat or with oats or barley, but can be sown in July or August
quite successfully. Sow 4 to 6 quarts or 8 to 11 pounds of seed per
acre. The seed we offer is American grown and the highest grade
obtainable, 99.59 per cent pure and of high vitality. Peck (15 lbs.)
$3.00; bu. $9.60; 100 lbs. $16.00. Lowest prices will be quoted
by letter at any time.

RED CLOVER, Mammoth. Also called “Pea Vine” Clover.
Larger and coarser than the Medium and is often used for plowing
under to enrich the soil. American grown seed. Peck $3.00;
bu. $9.60; 100 lbs. $16.00.

Crimson Clover. Used very extensively for plowing under to enrich
the land and as a cover crop. It is usually sown in August and will
make a good growth before winter. It does not succeed when sown
in the spring. It is not hardy and usually winter-kills in the North.
Extra fine seed. Peck $2.10; bu. (60 lbs.) $7.80; 100 lbs. $13.00.
Price variable.

SWEET CLOVER. Sweet clover will grow on rough land where
alfalfa would not do well. It makes an immense growth and if cut
before it is too ripe makes excellent hay. It is also valuable for
pasture for hogs, sheep and cattle. Like Red Clover this is a
biennial. The seed may be sown in the late fall and winter, or
early spring as well as in the summer. For summer sowing use
scarified seed. Seed not scarified germinates slowly and often lies
in the ground a long time without sprouting. Sow about 20 lbs.
per acre.

Sweet Clover makes one of the finest cover crops as it adds both humus
and nitrogen to the soil.

White Blossom. Very high grade Scarified seed. 99.50 per cent

pure. Lb. 30c postpaid. Peck (15 lbs.) $1.20; bu. (60 lbs.) $4.00;
100 lbs. $6.65.

WHITE CLOVER. See page 54. Used principally for lawns and sheep
. pasture. Lb. 50c postpaid. Not postpaid 5 lbs. or more 40c per lb.

Grasses for Pasture and Hay

TIMOTHY . One of the most popular grasses for hay and pasture.
Sow 6 quarts or 9 pounds of seed per acre if used alone. We sell
only the choicest recleaned seed. Peck 70c; bu. $2.20; bag of 3 bu.
(135 lbs.) $6.50. Price subject to market changes. Lowest price
will be quoted at any time.

Timothy and Alsike Mixed. (Over 22% Alsike). An excellent
mixture to sow either for hay or pasture. As it requires consider¬
able time and expense to separate the Clover seed from Timothy
when grown together the mixed seed can be sold cheaper than the
two separate. The mixture we offer contains over 22 % Alsike
Clover. It is an unusually fine lot of seed. Peck ( 1 i lbs.) $1 .00;
bu. (45 lbs.) $3.25; bag of 3 bu. (135 lbs.) $9.50.

Canadian Blue Grass. A more rapid grower than Kentucky Blue
Grass and equally good for pasture, but not as suitable for lawns.
This is an excellent pasture grass for poor dry land and should be
more largely used for this purpose. Fancy high grade seed.
Lb. 30c postpaid. 10 lbs. $2.00; $16.00 per 100 lbs.

Kentucky Blue Grass. See also page 54. One of the best grasses
for pasture and lawns. It starts to grow very early in the spring
and remains green late in the fall. It does well on either high, dry
land or places that are quite moist. The standard weight of a
bushel of seed is 14 pounds, but the recleaned seed we sell weighs
over 21 pounds per measured bushel. Lb. 30c postpaid. 101bs.$2.00;
$16.00 per 100 lbs.; 25 lbs. or more at 100 lb. rate.

Meadow Fescue, or English Blue Grass. Of great value for per¬
manent pasture and for hay. Does best on strong land. Grows 2
feet high. Makes a finer and better quality of hay than Orchard
grass. Sow 25 to 30 pounds per acre if alone. Lb. 25c postpaid.
10 lbs. $1.70; $12.00 per 100 lbs.

English Perennial Rye Grass. A desirable grass for pasture. It
forms a heavy close sod and grows up quickly after being eaten or
cut off. It is also a good grass for hay if cut when in bloom. It
affords good pasture after the hay is cut. Does best on rather moist
and heavy soil. Use 25 to 30 lbs. of seed per acre if sown alone.
Lb. 25c postpaid. Bu. (24 lbs.) $3.00; 100 lbs. $12.00.

Tall Meadow Oat Grass. A valuable grass for meadows and pas¬
ture. Does best on rather light soil but will grow well on heavier
land. Starts very early in the spring and makes a rapid growth,
and on this account should be included in all mixtures for pastures
and hay on light soil. Lb. 30c postpaid. 10 lbs. $1.80; $15.00 per
100 lbs.

Orchard Grass. A strong growing, rather coarse grass, good for
pasture and hay. Starts very early in the spring. Grows in tufts
so should be sown with other early flowering grasses such as Tall
Meadow Oat Grass. Orchard grass makes a very rapid growth
after being cut and affords good pasture within 10 days after cut¬
ting. Stands drought well as the roots extend deep into the soil.
Highest grade seed. Lb. 25c postpaid. Bu. (14 lbs.) $2.25; $12.00
per 100 lbs.

RED TOP. See also page 54. (Called “Hurds Grass” in the
South). Valuable for low land, as it is not injured by water. It
also grows well on high land. Grows 2 to 3 feet high, and makes
very good hay. Finest recleaned seed (weighing 32 pounds per
bushel) 97 % pure, germination 94 %. Lb. 30c postpaid. 10 lbs.
$1.90; $15.00 per 100 lbs.

Other Grasses can be supplied. Please write for price on what you
want, stating quantities required.

(For grasses suitable for lawns see page 54.)

Mixtures for Pastures and Hay

We have made up mixtures of the most suitable kinds of grass for
the purposes which they are to be used. In these mixtures we use
only seeds of the highest quality.

PERMANENT PASTURE MIXTURES

To get a really good pasture that will last for many years it is
necessary to sow grasses that will form a close, heavy turf and such as
are not injured by close cropping and trampling of animals. There are
many grasses of this kind. Some start early in the spring and others
continue growing late in the fall, so a considerable number of different
kinds should be used in order to maintain a continuous growth and
therefore a constant supply of good pasturage during the whole
season.

We have made two different mixtures for pasture according to
advice of best authorities on the subject.

Pasture Mixture No. 1, for dry soil. Composed of grasses best

suited to make good pasture all through the season on dry land.
Some of the grasses start early in the spring while other kinds start
later and continue to yield good pasture until late fall. We advise
using 25 to 30 lbs. of this mixture per acre. Lb. 25c postpaid. Not
postpaid 10 lbs. $2.00; 25 lbs. or more 16c per lb.

Pasture Mixture No. 2, for moist and heavy land. The grasses
in this mixture do best on strong, heavy and moist soil, and most
of them will stand being flooded with water part of the time. Sow
25 lbs. per acre. Lb. 24c postpaid. Not post paid 1 0 lbs. $1 .90; 25 lbs.
or more 15c per lb.

HAY MIXTURES

These mixtures are composed of such grasses as Meadow Fescue,
Tall Meadow Oat Grass, English Rye Grass and other kinds that
produce large crops of good hay and make a quick strong growth after
cutting and which can be pastured or cut again. These mixtures also
contain clover, both Alsike and Red. These grasses will last for many
years and give good crops if properly fertilized. Use 30 pounds of
seed per acre.

Hay Mixture, No. 3. For high and dry soil, medium and light.
Lb. 25c postpaid. Not postpaid 10 lbs. $2.00; 25 lbs. or more 16c
per lb.

Hay Mixture, No. 4. For moist, heavy and strong land. Lb.
23c postpaid. Not postpaid 10 lbs. $1.80; 25 lbs. or more 14c per lb.

Harris’ Lawn Grass Mixtures

Grass Seed for Shady Lawns

Best for Seeding Under Trees

This mixture is composed of the few kinds of grasses that
grow best in shady places. These grasses will grow and
make a good sod under trees and in the shade of buildings
where the common kinds of lawn grass would not do well.

This seed should be s6wn in the early spring or fall.
The ground should be thoroughly stirred up and raked
smooth before seeding. Use seed at the same rate as com¬
mon Lawn grass. See quantities on next page.

Lawn Grass for Shady Spots. Pound 60c; 5 lbs. $2.50;
any greater quantity, 45c per lb. postpaid.

Lawn Grass for Annual Seeding

There are often places under large deciduous trees
and shrubs which the sun cannot reach at any time during
the day when the leaves are out. No grass of any kind will
grow under such conditions for any length of time. The
best thing for such places is to sow some quick growing
grasses, either in the autumn when the leaves fall, or in
the early spring before the leaves come out. The grass
will then cover the ground and remain green late in the
summer. The ground has to be reseeded each year. We
can furnish a mixture of grasses which are the most suitable
for this purpose. Please order by name as follows;

Lawn Grass for Annual Seeding. 1 lb. (enough for
200 sq. ft.), 25c; 5 lbs. $1.00; each additional pound 15c
postpaid.

“Have the entire lawn green-

Shady Spots Require Special Seed

Special Formula Mixtures

We are in a position to supply special grass seed mixtures, built to
your particular formula. Send us your specifications and we will be
glad to quote you promptly

From a customer in 1930

"We are very glad to tell you that your grass seed has been so satisfac¬
tory in the greens we have planted with it, that we plowed over two greens
last fall that were planted with unsatisfactory seed and are replanting them
entirely with your seed." E. H. Heath, Stonington Manor Inn, Ston-
ington. Conn.

From the same customer in 1932

"Our greens are still holding up in fine shape. We had many compli¬
ments last summer on the fine condit ion and color of the greens when in
most other places the grass was badly burned." The Heath Co., Stoning-
ton, Conn. March U, 1932.

Harris’ Bent Grass Mixture

This is the mixture for the person who wants a very fine leaved
velvety lawn and is willing to take the time and trouble to get it.
Harris’ Bent Mixture is comprised entirely of seed of the Agrostis
species; that is, the best Bent grass varieties together with the finest
recleaned Red Top. These varieties require more plant food than
ordinary grass to do their best and should therefore be sowed on
fairly rich soil or ground enriched by the application of a good fer¬
tilizer such as Vigoro. Harris’ Bent Mixture will produce a turf of
fine color and texture, and with proper care and cutting you can
make a Putting Green on your own lawn. Keep the grass cut short
and roll all through the season. Fertilize lightly ( y2 oz. per sq. yd.)
two or three times during the season and water copiously. This seed
should be sown at the rate of about 1 lb. to 200 sq. ft.

Price; 1 lb. 80c; 10 lbs. $7.50; any greater quantity 70c per lb. post¬
paid.

Separate Varieties of Grasses Most Suitable for Lawns

SEASIDE CREEPING BENT. (Agr. Maritima.) Best for Putting
Greens. It is recognized without question to be the best grass
seed for putting greens. This grass is of the true creeping type and
forms a very dense sod of beautiful dark green color, with narrow
leaves. This grass will not only stafid very close cutting, but will
resist hard wear.

We offer the true Seaside Creeping Bent, inspected and the origin¬
al bags sealed by the representatives of the State of Washington.
Purity 99.20 % and of high germination. This is some of the finest
seed we have ever seen, and are greatly pleased to be able to offer
it at such a reasonable price. Price: lb. $1 .2 5 ; 10 lbs. $10.00 postpaid.

SOUTH GERMAN BENT. ( Agrostis Var.) For Putting Greens
and Fine Lawns. This is undoubtedly one of the best grasses for
putting greens and fine lawns as it withstands close cutting and
hard usage. This seed is sometimes known as German Creeping
Bent and is a natural mixture of three very closely related bent
grasses, Rhode Island bent, Velvet bent and a small percentage of
Creeping bent. Does well in most places and makes a sod of fine
color and texture. Price: lb. $1.25; 10 lbs. $10.00 postpaid.

RHODE ISLAND BENT. (Agrostis Capillaris.) Also known as
Colonial bent and Prince Edward Island bent. This variety makes
a very excellent grass where a fine close cut lawn is desired and is
probably the most common bent grass, and used to a large extent
in fine lawn and greens mixtures. It will form an excellent sod and
stand quite close mowing. It does well in rather poor and acid
soil and being of a semi-creeping habit will recover the ground
after injury. Price: lb. $1.00; 10 lbs. $8.50 postpaid.

RED TOP. (Agr. alba.) Putin Every Lawn Grass Mixture.

This is a remarkably rapid grower and a good lawn grass.
The aggressive habit of growth makes it occupy the ground rapidly.
Red Top does well on a large variety of soils and will withstand
both drouth conditions and wet ground and thrive under moderate
close cutting. Makes a most excellent kind to mix with Kentucky
Blue grass to sow for fine lawns and fairways. Price: lb. 30c;
10 lbs. $1.90 postpaid. By express, not prepaid, 25 lbs. or more at
15c per lb.

ROUGH STALKED MEADOW GRASS. ( Poa trivialis.) For
Shady Spots. This is one of the few grasses that do well in shady
spots, and will resist drought. It forms a close compact sod, which
greatly resembles Kentucky Blue Grass, and should be in all lawn
mixtures for shady spots. Price: lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.30 postpaid.
By freight not prepaid, 25 lbs. or more 19c per lb.

KENTUCKY BLUE GRASS. (Poa Pratensis.) Fine for Lawns.

One of the most popular grasses for lawns. It does well on high dry
land and also moist places. This grass is very aggressive and
spreads rapidly by means of underground stems. It makes a fine
texture sod when cut at lawn length and starts to grow early in the
spring maintaining its green color until late in the fall. Kentucky
Blue Grass is the “backbone” of most fine lawn mixtures. The
standard weight per bushel of seed is 14 lbs. but the recleaned seed
we sell weighs over 21 lbs. per measured bushel.

Price lb. 30c; 10 lbs. $2.00 postpaid. By express, not prepaid,
25 lbs. or more 16c per lb.

CHEWINGS NEW ZEALAND FESCUE. (F. rubra fallax.) For
places that get hard wear. Forms a matlike sod which is very
fine leaved. It is resistant to hard wear and does well on most all
kinds of soil and in shady spots. This variety is recognized as one
of the best for putting green mixtures and fine lawns. We offer
finest New Zealand seed. Price: lb. 35c; 10 lbs. $3.20 postpaid.
By freight, not prepaid, 25 lbs. or more at 25c per lb.

PERENNIAL RYE GRASS. (Lolium perenne.) For Quick
Covering. This grass will make a quick covering of bright green
grass on new lawns and is valuable for this reason. It will make a
good growth in a few weeks but due to its habit of growth will not
make a permanent sod. For new seeding a mixture of 10% Rye
grass may be used without danger of smothering the permanent
kinds and will give a nice looking lawn in a very short time.

Price: lb. 25c; 10 lbs. $2.00 postpaid. By freight, not prepaid,
25 lbs. or more at 12c per lb.

White Clover for Lawns

White Clover is very valuable for use on lawns. The roots extend
deep into the ground and consequently this clover stands drought
well, remaining green when other grasses dry up. This keeps the
lawn green all summer, which is particularly important where the
lawn is on dry sandy soil. Lb . 50c ; 5 lbs . or more 45c per lb. postpaid .

Fertilizer for the Lawn

Feed and water your lawn properly and you will maintain the
thick turf and deep color. See page 95 for fertilizers.

THE ROYAL MISTIFIER is the best little lawn sprinkler we
have ever seen. $1.00 postpaid. See page 94.

Harris’ Superfine Lawn Grass Seed.

No better lawn grass seed can be bought!

Harris’ Superfine Lawn Grass Seed is composed of the pure seeds of those fine leaved and deep rooted
grasses which we have found by long experience to be the most desirable and best suited for lawns. They
are the finest seed of these varieties which can be obtained and are all tested for purity and germination
before being mixed together. None are used which do not come up to the highest standard of excellence.

These grasses will form a thick fine sod that will stand drought well and maintain a deep, soft, green turf for
many years.

We can confidently state that no better lawn grass seed can be purchased. You want your
lawn to last for a number of years — sow only the best seed. If you want really good seed we
have it, but if you want ordinary “Lawn Grass” seed you can get it at the corner grocery. Our
seed is so pure, clean and free from chaff that a bushel weighs 30 lbs. instead of 20 lbs. which is
the usual weight of lawn grass seed.

The best results are obtained by sowing the seed quite thick — 1 lb. or quart to 200 to 300
square feet, but sowing one pound on 400 to 500 square feet will make an excellent lawn al¬
though not quite as quickly.

Directions for Sowing and Care

In the preparation of a new lawn, care must be taken to get a good
seed bed before sowing the seed. The ground should be plowed or
6paded and then worked down fine. If the soil is inclined to be hard,
work it up, then cover with at least 1 inch of pulverized Peat Moss
and work it in the top three or four inches. Before seeding add a
good fertilizer such as Vigoro at the rate of 4 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. and
rake it in lightly.

Seed should be sown in the spring or fall. It is not well to sow grass
seed in June or July on account of the hot sun. Sow one half the seed
while walking in one direction and the balance while walking cross
ways. This will result in a more even sowing.

To renew old lawns rake thoroughly, stirring the ground as much
as possible without killing the grass. All moss and weeds should be
removed as far as possible. Sow half as much grass seed as recom¬
mended for seeding a new lawn. After seeding, the lawn should be
rolled.

Building and Care of Lawns

We have published a pamphlet giving full directions for build¬
ing and care of lawns.

W e will send yon a copy free on recpiest. Ask for it.

Note — Harris’ Superfine Lawn Grass Seed contains white
clover which we consider highly desirable in a lawn, as the
roots penetrate deep into the soil and so get water to keep
the lawn green during very hot weather. We can furnish
the seed without White Clover, if desired, at the same price.

clover.

Lower Growing Flowers

If carefully sown along the front edges of your garden their
beauty will not be hidden. Harris Colossal Verbenas make
splendid flowers for low vases and bowls. The famous Blue Bird
Anchusa and Swanley Blue Ageratum are two fine shades of blue
to sow as companions to either Yellow or Orange Calendula. For a
brilliant display of gay colors, we prefer Phlox Drummondi.

By all means, make several successive sowings of annual Gypso-
phila or Baby’s Breath. You will want some to put with every
bouquet you pick as its graceful, lacy appearance makes other
flowers look so much better.

Annual Larkspur is one of the most satisfactory flowers
for picking.

Annual Larkspur

Is An Ideal Garden Flower

Of all the annual flowers that have recently become more popular
there are none that compare with Annual Larkspur. They are ideal
flowers to use in the border among the perennials or to mass in beds
by themselves. As cut flowers they are unequaled, blooming from
mid-summer until freezing weather. Seeds sown n the open ground
before May 1st will produce flowering plants by July and continue
until after freezing weather. Seeds sown in late September will live
over winter and make wonderful plants for the next summer. Do

not sow seed after hot weather has come.

Harris’ Petunias

The Most Popular Flowers For All Summer Blooming

There Are No Other Flowers So Colorful And Of
Such A Long Season Of Bloom.

Harris’ Petunias can be used in solid beds, in between hardy
perennials, along borders, edging driveways or walks, for porch or
window boxes, and in many other ways too numerous to mention.

Harris’ Petunias are easy to grow from seed. Giant Ruffled,
Fringed, and Double Petunias should be very carefully sown in
boxes in early spring. This is because the seed is scarce and too
expensive to sow outdoors. Bedding and Balcony Petunias
may be carefully sown outdoors or started earlier in boxes. The
main thing is, do not cover the seed; just lightly stir it in with
the soil.

Harris’ Giant Ruffled Petunias

After testing out all the different strains of Giant Ruffled Petunias
from several different growers in many different countries, we have
chosen these as being the best to date.

unusual and remarkable flowers. They are just as easy to grow as

Pansy Seed Sown This Spring Will Give You
Flowers All Summer

There is no flower so universally known and loved as the Pansy.
It has so much individuality and character and such a marvelous
variety of colors that it is forever a source of wonder and interest.

Seed sown in the open ground in the spring will produce flowering
plants the first summer. They may be wintered over with slight
protection for early flowers the next spring.

Seed sown in the open ground in August and September will winter
over and give blooming plants as soon as the snow goes away.

Seed started in the house in February or March will produce fine
flowers all summer and fall and do well the second year.

If the Pansy has a cool partly shaded situation and plenty of
moisture, it will bloom vigorously all season. Although a biennial,
fresh plants should be started each year.

Snapdragons (Antirrhinum)

Snapdragons have a place in every garden. There are so many different
colors in all types that they will fit in with any garden plan. They bloom
continuously all season and the plants do not get unsightly as do so many
of the annual flowers. Besides, bouquets can be cut all summer without
injuring the appearance of the plant, as new flowers keep coming on.

Culture. If the seed is sown in the house in March and the plants set out in
May, they will flower in June and July and continue until late in the fall. Seed
sown in the open ground early in the spring will produce plants that flower in
August. If given protection, summer sown plants will often survive the winter
and flower in the spring.

dragons with immense flowers on long stems.

“We have never had such an effective display in our window box on the north side of the house. It was too shady for
Geraniums, Petunias, etc. but the Tuberous rooted Begonias were a mass of color all summer,” writes a cus¬
tomer, enclosing this photograph.

Flowers That Will Bloom in Any Shady Place

We don’t know of any combination of flowers that will give you such a pretty effect in the shade as Tuberous Rooted Begonias, Coleus
and English Ivy. Not only are they ideal in window and porch boxes, but also in that narrow, shady space so often left between the
walk and the house foundation. Plant Tuberous Rooted Begonias with Coleus and enjoy the array of color all summer. In fact, in
any shady spot where the soil is good, you can have success with

Harris’ Tuberous Rooted Begonias

ship them to you, so you know every one is a good bulb when you
receive it. You receive them as bulbs with small sprouts.

approximate date you want them, they will not be sent until after
all danger of frost. This is about May 15th. You can have them

earlier flowers. Please Tell Us When You Want Them Mailed.

remarkable new double, fragrant, yellow
Nasturtium was introduced from California,

stiffer stems that tend to make them stand well
above the foliage. There are masses of flowers
all summer that are splendid for table decora¬

Harris' New and Rare Flowers for 1933

Be the First to Have the Latest Introductions

We have the best of the newest flowers which are being offered for the first time this year.

Everything you find on these three pages has never been offered before, and it represents our selection from all
of the leading European and American growers.

In Originators' Sealed Packets

Of course, we have had no opportunity to make any tests of these varieties or of the seed, because most all of it
is sent to us in the originators’ sealed packets, which we send on to you unopened.

The different originators have assured us that these new flowers are all exceptionally fine and we offer them to
you entirely on their recommendations.

New Annual Canterbury Bells

The New Flower That Is Being
Talked About

8026 — Venidium Fastuosum. A South African introduction. This
immense daisy-like annual is destined to become popular. The
flowers are a bright orange with dark center and a purple disc.
The blooms measure 3 inches across. Pkt. 25c.

A New Type of Scabiosa

4643 — Scabiosa Dwarf Double Coral Rose. This gem of annual
Scabiosas comes new from England this year. The plant is very
compact and does not exceed eight inches in height. All summer it
continually bears an abundance of flowers of a bright coral rose
with a shade of Salmon that are nice to pick. Although new, this
variety produces very true from seed. Pkt. 35c.

A Truly Beautiful Morning dory

3485- — Morning Glory, New Double Rose Marie. Probably
nothing could be done to produce a better Morning Glory. It is
an early flowering double and semi-double form of a deep rose
shade. The introducer predicts this to become a universal favorite.

Pkt. 10c.

New Canterbury Bells That Bloom
the First Year

2260 — New Annual Canterbury Bells. This ever-popular flower
comes to us in 1933 as an annual, blooming six months after
sowing the seed. This not only relieves the garden lover of taking
a chance in losing the perennial types through the winter, but gives
him the gorgeously colored Canterbury Bells in the mid-summer,
when their riot of color is much needed. This mixture contains ali
the shades of white, rose and blue. Pkt. 35c.

A New Color of Grodetia

2952 — Godetia, Sybil Sherwood. Not only is this variety new, but
it brings to annual flowers a new color. It is a shade of bright
salmon-pink softened by an undefined edging of white. The plant
is very robust, growing about 20 inches high. Its real merit is in
its free flowering qualities, the foliage being almost hidden with
bloom. Pkt. 25c.

Am Outstanding California Poppy

2792 — Eschscholtzia, Double Salmon Beauty. A very distinct
new California Poppy. The free flowering habit of Eschscholtzia
always makes them desirable, but we believe a new double salmon
colored variety like Salmon Beauty will prove to be outstanding.

Pkt. 25c.

An Unusually Large and
Bright Red Verbena

8002 — Verbena, Beauty of Oxford Hybrids. A giant Verbena
with florets over one inch in diameter, and in shades of rose-pink to
rose-red. Heretofore the beautiful Beauty of Oxford was obtain¬

grower has produced a larger and superior Verbena, but of course
coming from seed it is somewhat variable. Pkt. 35c.

A Very Pretty New Annual

2592 — Crepis Rubra. A very free flowering annual that will thrive
under most any condition. The deeply cut foliage clings closely to
the ground, while the plant sends up numerous slender stems about

mum coming from seed. The single flowers are of a rich pink

foliage. Pkt. 25c.

3196 — Knautia Lyrophylla. An easily grown perennial that re¬
sembles Scabiosa. The color is a brilliant carmine with a shade of
purple. This variety grows to a height of three feet and blooms
through the entire season. Pkt. 35c.

A Different Type of Aster

annual Aster of sturdy upright growth which comes true from seed.

2647 — Delphinium, Iceberg. We are offering for the second time this white hybrid Hardy Lark¬
spur. The German introducer claims it to be the first white coming true from seed, with very

blended with rose and terra-cotta. We have seen this variety and know that it is outstanding

popular dwarf bedding Rosy Morn, but the double flowers giving a planting of them the appearanoe
of more bloom and vividness of color. Pkt. 40c.

An Unusual Tufted Pansy

3768 — Viola. Arkwright Ruby. Here is an outstanding Viola. A beautiful bright, ruby-crimson

Now is the time to buy your new stock of Gladioli. We have
never been able to offer them at so low a price. Look over these
collections and see the wonderful new varieties you get at really
unheard-of bargain prices.

No. 12 — One bulb each of the 15 Ideal varieties, not separately-
labeled, for only $1.00. (Regular price $2.05)

labeled, for only $1.75.

No. 15 — Three bulbs each of the 15 Ideal varieties, separately
labeled, for only $4.25. (Regular price $5.90)

"I wish to add that I ordered from you in the spring your assortment
of Gladioli — 15 for $2.00 — and will state that I have never seen more
beautiful ones, and many friends have commented on their beauty, size,
color, etc." Mrs. W. G. Storey, Columbus, Ga.

Plant Gladioli In The Perennial Border

Gladioli are unexcelled for producing bright spots of color in the
perennial border in August when only a few perennials are in
bloom. They may be planted any time up to July in clumps of
12 to 50 bulbs between the plants. A good plan is to put them in
the places from which the Tulips have been removed. Most charm¬
ing color combinations are possible.

Set Out Only The Finest Varieties

When you put in Gladioli, be sure you have the best kinds it is
possible to obtain. Don’t buy ordinary common kinds just
because they are a few cents cheaper. Set out the very best and
you will have the finest collection of blooms in your neighborhood.

PEAT MOSS — A Valuable Mulch For Many Crops

Add Humus to your Lawn and Garden

Peat Moss puts humus in the soil and makes it in the best condition for the growth of plants. It
makes hard land softer and more friable and enables light sandy soil to hold water better. Peat
Moss and fertilizer make an excellent substitute for stable manure which is so hard to get. In addition
it is absolutely free from weed seeds.

Peat Moss is partly decayed moss and other plants. It is light brown, odorless and easy to handle.

Peat Moss is like a sponge; it takes up a large amount of water and holds it until the plants can use
it. It is especially good when used as a mulch, either to hold moisture in the summer or to protect
plants from injury during the winter. It is not expensive. A bale will cover 300 sq. feet one inch deep.

Peat Moss should be used for the following purposes:

To mix with soil to make it loose and hold water. To cover the roots of evergreens to make the soil condition which they require.
To cover lawns so as to keep the grass green in dry weather. To cover plants and bulbs during the winter.

Peat Moss comes in large bales closely compressed, and wrapped in burlap. A bale makes from 19 to 20 bu. of loose material or enough

to cover about 300 sq. ft.— 1 in. deep.

PRICE: Full size single bale, by freight $2.65; 3 bales or more $2.40 per bale

combines one of the best fertilizing agents
with material which furnishes humus in its
best form. It not only supplies readily
available plant food but also makes the soil
light and enables it to hold moisture.

This is an excellent dressing to use on
lawns and in the garden, especially if there
is mixed with it about half its weight of a
good chemical fertilizer. Ask for leaflet de¬
scribing this new material.

Sulphate of Ammonia

One of the best and most economical nitrogenous fertilizers. It
contains 25 % ammonia, and it is, therefore, richer in nitrogen than
nitrate of soda. While the plant food in it is not so quickly available,
the effect on the crop is more lasting. It is especially valuable for
lawns. If used liberally on lawns it will stimulate the grass and retard
the growth of dandelions. By freight: 5 lbs. 35c; 10 lbs. 65c; 50 lbs.
$2.00; 100 lbs. $3.25. Write for prices on large lots.

Bone Meal

This is one of the best fertilizers for gardens, shrubs, fruit trees,
etc It is perfectly harmless and can be used with safety in any
quantity desired. The plant food is not immediately available so
its benefit extends over a long time.

This Bone Meal is raw bone fine ground and contains 4 %

ammonia (nitrogen) and 47 % phosphate of lime. By freight: 10 lbs.
60c; 50 lbs. $2.15; 100 lbs. $3.50; bag of 167 lbs. $4.75. Lowest
prices will be quoted on large lots at any time.

Nitrate of Soda

Nitrate of Soda is the most soluble and quickly available form of
nitrogen or “ammonia.” It is of great benefit in forcing a strong
luxuriant growth in plants. It can be advantageously used as a
top dressing.

Gardeners should always have some nitrate of soda on hand and
use it whenever they want to promote a quick, strong growth in
plants. A little nitrate dissolved in water at the rate of about a
tablespoon (1 oz.) to 2 gallons of water will stimulate a rapid growth
either when applied to plants in frames, greenhouses or the open
ground. But don’t use too much. By freight: 10 lbs. 65c; 50 lbs.

High Grade Pulverized Sheep Manure

Sheep manure, not only furnishes all necessary elements of plant
food but also supplies humus which keeps the soil from getting hard
and helps it to hold water so plants do not suffer from drought.

This manure should be used at the rate of about 1 lb. to 10 square
feet and should be mixed with the soil as far as possible.

The manure we offer is pure, being free from straw, dirt, etc., and
is far superior to much of the Pulverized Sheep Manure usually sold.

NODULE-BACTER

■

All legumes (Clovers, Peas,
Beans, Vetch, etc.) are great¬
ly stimulated in growth when
certain bacteria grow on their
roots forming nodules which
take nitrogen from the air for
use by the plants and the en¬
richment of the soil.

Nodule-Bacter is a name for Agar cultures of nitrogen forming
bacteria nrepared for all crops that require them. They have proved
to be very reliable and can be depended upon to increase the nitrogen
gathering nodules on the roots. The Nodule-Bacter are in ventilated
bottles and therefore keep a long time. The bottles are dated so you
are sure to get fresh cultures.

S E M E SAJ\ — Makes Good Seed Grow Better!

It pays to use Semesan. Actual experience on our own farm and greenhouses has convinced us that using Semesan pays.
In our greenhouses, Semesan has proved very reliable in preventing “damping off” of seedlings. We formerly went
through the laborious process of “steaming” our greenhouse soil to kill the “damping off” fungus, but now we simply water
the flats with the normal Semesan solution with equally good results. Since we started to use Semesan we have not
steamed a bit of soil.

For Corn and Beans. Sometimes due to weather conditions beyond the grower’s control, corn and beans of high ger¬
mination do not grow, but rot in the ground. On one planting of sweet corn seed of high germination treated with Semesan
we had practically double the stand which we obtained from the same seed planted at the same time but not treated. The
use of a few ounces of Semesan nearly doubled the yield of corn for us. The process of treating is so easy and the
cost so small that we believe growers cannot afford to plant seed corn or beans without giving it this protection.

Sweet Corn treated with Semesan Jr. can be planted earlier making far earlier maturity and higher prices.

Treating seed and soil with Semesan is a cheap and easy form of Crop Insurance.

You can buy SEMESAN in Four Forms:

SEMESAN

SEMESAN . Can be applied in either the liquid
or convenient dust form to prevent or control
effectively a most diversified variety of para¬
sitic diseases and fungoid growths borne by
seeds, seed pieces, plants, grafts and soils.
Semesan is harmless to seed and plant life but
extremely poisonous to disease and fungous
organisms. It generally also hastens germina¬
tion.

The cost of treatment is extremely low,
ranging from J^c to 1 >£c per pound of seed.

Prices:

2 oz. prepaid. . $ .50 5 lb. by express. . $13.00

lib. prepaid.. 2.75 25 lb. by express. . 56.25

SEMESAN Jr. A less expensive but equally
effective form for the dry dust disinfection of
both field and sweet corn seeds.

Its use protects the seed from rotting in the
ground and makes possible earlier planting
which generally results in higher prices and in¬
creased yields. The cost is less than 6c per
acre. 2 oz. treats 1 bu. seed.

Note the new low prices:

4 oz. prepaid. . $ .40 1 lb. prepaid. . $1 .50

5 lb. by express. . $ 7.00

SEMESAN Bel. For seed potatoes.

One pound of the New Improved Semesan Bel.
will treat 60 to 70 bushels of cut potatoes;
much more than the old types. It also
possesses greater disease control properties
especially in respect to control of Rhizoc-
tonia and seed-born Scab. The “Instantane¬
ous Dip’’ method for applying new Semesan
Bel. saves time and labor. Semesan Bel. does
not harm the seed pieces.

ively controlled such grain diseases as stinking
smut of wheat, stripe disease of barley, loose
and covered smuts of barley and oats. It will
not harm the seed or grain drill. Only 2 oz.
required per bushel of wheat or rye, and 3 oz.
per bu. of oats and barley.

GREEN is Pyrethrum, endorsed as a killing agent
by entomologists and horticulturalists everywhere.

EVERGREEN is Non-Poisonous, harmless to man, livestock,
birds and pets. Kills only insects. It does not burn and can be used
often and in strong solution on the most delicate plants and flowers.

Hotkaps

Early Crops Bring
Better Prices

- New Method of
Plant Protection

Here’s What One Grower Found:

“Last spring I purchased some of your Bender’s Surprise melon seeds. Some
were started in the greenhouse', others under Hotkaps and the remainder just
planted without protection. Those started in the greenhouse and under Hotkaps
are about equally as far ahead of those just sown in the field. Next year we’re
starting all of them under Hotkaps.’ ’

Fred H. Zautner, New Scotland, N. Y. August 16, 1932

During the past few years, growers of vine crops have found that the pro¬
tection offered their plants by Hotkaps has resulted in increased profits from
better and earlier fruit. It costs less than starting plants in the greenhouse.

These miniature hot houses consist of scientifically constructed
wax paper cones which are placed over the plant or hill of seed in the
field. By using Hotkaps the plants can be set out or the seed sown
as soon as the ground gets warm. There is no danger of frost, as
Hotkaps give perfect protection.

For Early Sweet Corn. Growers of early corn find that by using
Hotkaps they can plant earlier and thus get corn to mature earlier,
thereby getting the “top” prices.

Hotkaps keep the soil around the plant in perfect cultivation,
preventing it from drying out and baking. They shield the young
plants from frost, and beating rains. The striped cucumber
beetle which does so much damage to the young plants of melons,
cucumbers, squash, etc., cannot get to the plants protected by
Hotkaps.

Hotkaps are so constructed that when properly set they will with¬
stand very heavy winds and beating rains. , ,

Gardeners who have been in the habit of using home made held
forcers, will find Hotkaps cheaper and easier to use.

Hotkaps are not hard to set out. Simply place over the hill and
draw a little dirt ( M to 54 in.) around the base of the Kap. A tool
(“tamper”) for this purpose is furnished with each lot of Hotkaps
sold. It is claimed one man can set 3000 "Hotkaps” a day. \\ hether
you have fifty hills or 5000 to protect, Hotkaps will do the work
easily and economically. Complete directions are sent with each lot
of Hotkaps.

The use of Mulch Paper not only keeps the weeds from growing
but also keeps the moisture in the ground and holds the soil at a
more uniform temperature, not so hot in the day time and warmer
at night.

Plants grown with Mulch Paper areusually stronger, yield moreand

are not so much affected by dry weather as those grown without it.

Mulch paper is fine for Strawberries. It prevents weeds growing
between the plants and keeps dirt from splashing on the berries.

Circulars and directions for using will be sent on request.

Tools are now being built for laying Mulch Paper quickly and easily
and on a large scale. If you are interested please write us.
