Harris’ Northern Grown Pepper Seed 
If you want to grow peppers for profit use Harris’ Northern Grown Pepper Seed. We have 
specialized for over twenty years in growing peppers on our farm. Years ago we found out that the 
varieties which are usually grown in the long seasons and warmer climates farther south did not 
ripen enough fruit to make peppers a profitable crop in the north. So we developed a number of 
early heavy bearing varieties, which are suited to our conditions and will produce an abundance of 
ripe fruit where seasons are short. 
Several of our peppers have become standard varieties for the North and much inferior South¬ 
ern grown seed of these kinds is offered to growers. Don’t take chances. Use our Northern bred 
and Northern grown seed to insure good crops. We do not sell to dealers. 
Harris’ Wonder —New—Early—Prolific—Thick Meat 
See Front Cover 
Harris’ Wonder is a truly great pepper. It combines the smooth blocky thick fleshed type of 
California Wonder with high yield and earliness so that you get not only large crops of green 
peppers but an abundance of ripe fruit before frost. 
The peppers are large, chunky, beautiful dark green turning to rich red when ripe. They are

very thick meated and the quality is excellent. 
A level bushel weighs over 30 lbs. 
Growers who had Harris’ Wonder last 
year are most enthusiastic. Our 1938 crop was 
even more uniform and prolific. Grow some 
this year, we know you will like it. See prices

ladies from our office holding a single plant in our seed 
field of Harris Wonder. The bushel of peppers (inset) 
weighed 31 lbs. without the basket.

grand King (King of the North) Pepper and Harris Wonder 
Sweet Pepper. They are two of the greatest I have ever 
grown.”

Harris’ “King of the North” 
Extremely Large, Early 
and Prolific 
Since we introduced this variety in 1934 
it has earned a reputation of producing greater 
yields of large peppers here in the North than 
any variety grown. 
The plants are medium size and branch¬ 
ing. They are literally covered with the im¬ 
mense fruit. The size and shape of the peppers 
is well shown in the photograph to the left. 
The flesh is firm, mild and sweet. If you 
have not done so we urge you to try these 
peppers this year. Be sure to get Harris’ 
Northern Grown seed. See prices on next page. 
Harris’ Earliest —The Earliest Sweet Pepper 
Harris’ Earliest is an invaluable variety for the extreme northern parts of the country where 
other peppers will not ripen. We grow and check in our trials practically every new pepper which 
is brought out and we have not seen one which is earlier. It is the result of over twenty years of 
growing here in the North and constantly improving it for size, earliness and yield. The plants are 
not large but are literally covered with medium size, attractive bright red fruit. If you want early 
fruit or have trouble getting peppers ripe we recommend that you plant Harris’ Earliest.

Harris’ Improved SQUASH Pepper —Very Early and Heavy Yielder 
This pepper replaces the old type known as Squash, Cheese, Sunny brook, etc. 
It is so early and prolific that it produces three times as many peppers as any other “Squash 
or Cheese” pepper which we have seen. This early character and high yield make it a profitable 
kind to grow even here in the north. The fruit is the true “Squash” shape, with very thick flesh 
which is mild and sweet. See prices on next page.
