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 warm, rich soil. If the peppers are kept picked 
before they turn red, the plants will produce great numbers of fruit. 
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 82.

Pepper seed is not ordinarily raised as far north as we are because the 
plants do not bear enough fruit to make it profitable. For many years 
however, we have specialized in breeding early strains which grow well and 
bear large crops here. Wo find that these Northern Grown Strains of 
ours are the only ones which can be depended on year in and year out 
to produce good crops. Starting with Harris' Earliest many years ago 
we have since developed Harris’ Early Giant, Harris' King of the North, 
Harris' linprored Squash, Hot Portugal and finally our newest introduc¬ 
tion Harris' Wonder (See page 2). You will find these varieties all fully 
described below and on page 2.

CALIFORNIA WONDER. True Stock. This fine variety has become 
increasingly popular in the last few years for producing thick meated 
green peppers. The peppers are very large and the thick flesh makes 
them exceptionally heavy. They mature medium early and under 
good growing conditions will make a profitable crop.

HARRIS’ PEPPER PLANTS 
We make a specialty of growing fine sturdy pepper plants. We can 
supply either seedlings which should be grown in the hot bed or 
window box for a few weeks or hardy transplanted plants for 
setting directly in the garden. See page 82 for varieties and prices. 
Harris’ Earliest 
A single plant in our seed field. If you want lots 
of peppers early, try this kind. 
HARRIS' EARLIEST. The Earliest Pepper. If you have difficulty in raising sweet 
" ■ peppers try this kind. They always produce an abundance of 
fruit even in short, seasons when other kinds do not ripen. 
In an average season Harris’ Earliest will produce more peppers than 
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 make a good crop every season. 
We often get a lot of ripe (red) peppers here the first part of August and 
always 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. They are of 
good size often 3 inches high and 234 inches in diameter, and of very 
mild, sweet flavor.

HARRIS’ EARLY GIANT. Large Early Fruit. Large 
- size, heavy yield and carliness 
have made this pepper one of the most popular varieties grown. It is 
not only a most valuable market variety but it is outstanding as one 
of the most satisfactory kinds for the home garden. Since we intro¬ 
duced this pepper in 1924 we have continued to grow and improve it 
by careful selection here on our own farm. 
The plants are vigorous, growing well over two feet high and are 
covered from top to bottom with fine fruit. The fruit is large, often 434 
inches deep and 334 inches through, and the color deep green turning to 
brilliant red. The flesh is medium thick and of a sweet pleasant flavor.

WINDSOR “A.” (New.) Early Thick Meated. T Ins new pepper was 
introduced by the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment Station. The 
peppers are of the long type, resembling Ruby King in shape, but have 
exceptionally thick flesh. The peppers are about 2 34 inches at the top 
and 434 1° 5 inches long. It is a very prolific variety producing a lot 
of ripe fruit early, and well worth trying.

WORLDBEATER. The fruit is 4 inches long and 3 inches in diameter, 
deep green turning red when ripe. Matures medium early. These 
peppers are mild and sweet and very thick fleshed. Under proper con¬ 
ditions this pepper is an extremely heavy bearer but is more suited to 
climates south of New York Stale than it is to the North. 
Our stock is extremely uniform for type and yield.
