This standard bushel crate shows their large size. 
HARRIS* EARLY GIANT. Large Early Fruit. The large 
- size, heavy yield and earlmess 
have made this pepper one of the most popular varieties grown. It is a 
most valuable market variety and outstanding as one of the most 
satisfactory kinds for the home garden. Since we introduced this pepper 
in 1924 we have continued to grow and improve it by careful selection. 
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 4)4 
inches deep and 3)4 inches through, and the color deep green turning to 
brilliant red. The flesh is medium thick. Seed of our own growing.

WINDSOR “A.” (New.) Early Thick IVleated. T his 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)4 inches at the top 
and 4)4 to 5 inches long. 11 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 State. Ours is the true stock.

HARRIS’ IMPROVED SQUASH. ^ sokn “ wnas 
_ Cheese and Sunny- 
brook Pepper. Our strain is early, very prolific and thick meated and 
it is the only strain we know of this type that, has all these good points. 
This is the pepper which is so popular for canning because of ils ex¬ 
tremely thick flesh and fine quality. In many sections they are called 
“ Pimientos.” 
Hitherto it has been almost impossible to get a pepper of this type 
that would bear enough here in the North to make it worth while to 
grow them, but with this early prolific strain you can get an abundance 
of fine ripe fruit before the plants are killed by frost.

PIIVIIENTO. We have discontinued this variety because it seldom bears 
well in the North. We recommend Harris’ Improved Squash, which 
many people call “Pimientos.” 
OSHKOSH. The largest and best yellow pepper. 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. 
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.

A packet of seed will produce about 75 plants; an ounce about 
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 easier to buy the plants. See 
page 82.

Pepper seed is not ordinarily raised as far north as we are because most 
varieties do not bear enough fruit here to make it profitable. However, 
for many years we have specialized in breeding early strains which grow 
well and bear large crops here. We find that our Northern Grown Strains 
are the only ones which can be depended on to produce good crops every 
year. Starting with Harris' Earliest many years ago we have since de¬ 
veloped Harris' Early Giant, Harris’ King of the North, Harris’ Improved 
Squash, Hot Portugal and finally our newest introduction Harris’ Wonder. 
You will find these varieties all fully described below and on page 5. 
HARRIS’ WONDER ( New -) Heavy Yielding. See page 5. 
- This most desirable thick mealed variety 
of our own breeding is remarkable for its yield of large fruit. Seed of 
our own growing.

HARRIS’ KING OF THE NORTH. Enormous Early 
- Fruit, Abundant 
Yield. This pepper has become a great favorite since we introduced it 
five years ago. See photo to right and full description on Page 5. Seed

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.

L-j A DDIC’ EARLIEST "*"^ e Earliest Pepper. If you have diffi- 
- - culty 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 on good ground pro¬ 
duce so many peppers that they hardly seem able to support them. 
The peppers are of good size, often 3 inches long and 2)4 inches in 
diameter, and of very mild, sweet flavor. Seed of our own growing.
