THanks for the update Ken.

Harris and TGS were two of the last places that listed Ramapo F1 and I know there was some kind of cooperation there between Harris and Rutgers, but I guess it was limited to Moreton Hybrid which was bred by Harris Seeds.

So where's my Harris catalog?

Gone are the days when the Harris "man" came right to the house to take my father's order for the next season. Harris doesn't list as many varieties of vegetables and fruits as many other places, but over the years I've found their prices and seeds and service to be outstanding.

Another good point is that after Harris went back to being just Harris, not a part of Harris Moran, Harris gets first dibs on almost anything that Harris/Moran breeds, which makes sense since all the squash and tomato breeders who used to be in Rochester, NY with Harris moved to CA after the initial merger.

Now to go pack some tomato seeds owed.
