VEGETABLES OF SPEC/AL MER/T 
The carefully selected list of vegetables which we offer on the following few pages are among the best in their respective 
classes. These are carefully bred strains which we have selected for their unusual merit and many of them are Harris’ 
introductions which we have bred and grown here on our own farm. 
Harris* Wonder Pepper 
Early — Prolific—Thick Meated 
This pepper of our own breeding is really an early prolific California 
Wonder and is by far the best pepper of this type obtainable. In it we 
have combined the large thick meated fruits of California Wonder with 
the earliness and great productivity of our Harris’ Early Giant. 
The fruit as shown in the photo to the left is large, smooth, blunt and 
very thick meated. It is borne in great abundance on strong sturdy 
vines and is early enough to produce large crops of red peppers even 
here in our climate where seasons are so short. 
The peppers are of extremely fine quality and ideal type for stuffing. 
We urge you to grow some Harris’ Wonder this year. We know you 
will be pleased.

The plants are actually loaded with these large thick meated peppers. 
Harris* “King of the North’’ Pepper 
Enormous Early Fruit—Abundant Yield ( Se page° 33 .° n ) 
This fine pepper which wc introduced five years ago has become an 
established favorite. 
It is so early and heavy bearing that it ripens most of its fruit even 
in our climate; which is unusual in this type of pepper, and it will pro¬ 
duce an abundance of green fruit early in the season. 
The peppers are large, dark green turning to a deep rich red when ripe. 
The flesh is medium thick, mild and sweet. The plants are of a branching 
growth and literally covered with large fruit, which is borne from the 
bottom right up to the top of the plant. 
Altogether we think this is one of the finest large peppers grown and 
we strongly recommend that all who grow peppers try some. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 65c; 34 Lb. $1.90; Lb. $6.50. 
Detroit Dark Red Beet — Harris } Special Strain 
The exceptionally fine quality of this beet has made it one of the most popular kinds 
for the home, market garden and canning. For fall use in the home garden it has few 
equals. Seed sown in July will produce beautiful, tender, dark red beets, superior 
to use in the fall and to store for winter. 
The beets are smooth and uniform, with a solid rich deep red color. Our stock is 
without equal for color. 
We have grown and selected this strain for many years on our own farm and we can 
confidently state that there is no better Detroit Dark Red beet to be obtained. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; 34 Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.15. 
Harris’ Special Detroit Dark Red Beets 
Famous for fine quality and color. 
New Hampshire Hybrid Egg Plant 
The leaves have been cut away to show 
the abundance of fruit. 
New Hampshire Hybrid Egg Plant 
A 1939 All America Winner 
We think this new variety should be called “Northern Beauty” as it is really an early, highly pro¬ 
ductive Black Beauty type egg plant for growers in the North. 
It was developed by Prof. J. II. Hepler of the New Hampshire Agriculture Experiment Station 
and has been acclaimed wherever grown. 
The fruit is slightly oval, a fine purple in color and slightly smaller than Black Beauty. It is how¬ 
ever plenty large for table use and market. 
Two remarkable characters of the New Hampshire Hybrid are its earliness and large yield per 
plant. We have counted as many as 8 to 10 good fruits and several small ones on a single plant. 
This new variety is a fine home garden kind and will prove a most profitable market variety here 
in the North. 
Pkt. 15c; 34 Oz. 35c; Oz. $1.00; J4 Lb. $3.25. 
Note: Wecan furnish New Hampshire Hybrid plants grown in “Fertile” pots, all ready to set direct¬ 
ly in the garden at $1.00 per doz., or 50 for $3.25 transportation paid. Ready May 25. See page 82. 
Long Season —"A Beet of Quality" 
Also called “Winter Keeper” or “New Century.” See photo on page 11. 
It you want a beet that will remain tender and sweet all summer and fall and keep 
all winter, try the “Long Season.” 11 is the best quality table beet. It makes no difference 
whether the beets are young or old, small or large, they are always tender. The beets 
are a very deep red color without light colored rings and with large green tops. 
Do not depend on this beet for early use as it grows slowly but when the early-sown 
beets get tough and poor the Long Season will be found to be of the finest quality 
and just as tender as the young early beets, even though they are very large. They 
retain their fine quality when stored in a cold place for winter use. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c: 34 Lb. 50c: Lb. $1.55. - 
“ We had some of your Long Season 
Beets last summer and think they are 
the finest beets we ever had."
