Harris' Earliest Peppers (See page 33) 
A single plant from our seed field. 
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 set ting directly in the garden. 
See page 82 for varieties and prices. 
HOT PEPPERS 
HOT PORTUGAL. (New.) This is the best large hot red 
- 1 pepper. If you want large “hot” peppers 
be sure to grow some “Hot Portugal.” It is the largest pepper of this 
type we have seen and is very hot. The fruit averages 6 inches or more 
in length, is bright red when ripe, and is very freely borne on sturdy 
upright plants. See photo to the right. Seed of our own growing.

inches in diameter. Borne profusely on rather tall vines. Quite late.

GIANT CAYENNE. (Hot.) The fruit is 3 inches long and 1 inch through. 
It is much larger than the old Cayenne pepper and the fruit is just as 
hot. Ripens very early and is wonderfully prolific.

HUNGARIAN WAX. (Hot.) This is very beautiful in the garden, the 
fruit turning from green to fight yellow when young and then red as 
they ripen. It is quite hot or pungent. It matures quite early and the 
plants are very prolific. The strain we offer is the long type, producing 
fruit about 5-6 in. long and about 1 in. in diameter at the largest part.

“/ have used your garden seed for several years and I don't believe they can be beat for 
the earliness and general quality of the vegetables produced from them. The plants grown 
are so true to type and uniform in size, color, etc. 
It is hard to single out any single vegetable over the others for excellence, but your 
Harris' Wonder Pepper is certainly rightly named. The peppers I grew from your plants 
of that variety last year were the best I ever had — large, thick and handsome, practically 
every fruit the same size. Fred L. Armstrong, Dalton, Mass. Feb. 21, 1939.

Kuerbis (Ger.) PUMPKINS Zucca (It.) 
A few hills of pumpkins in the garden will give you the “makins” of many delicious pies in the fall and 
winter. If you grow your own you can get pumpkins of a quality that is impossible to match in the com¬ 
mercial canned product, and at very small cost. If your garden is small, a few hills among the sweet corn 
will not take up any extra ground. A packet will plant 5 or 6 hills; an ounce 20 hills. 
ORANGE WINTER LUXURY Fine for Pies. This improved strain produces pumpkins 
-1 which are of a deep orange color and beautifully netted. 
The flesh is very thick, deep orange yellow and of the very finest quality for pies. The fruit is of good 
size, being nearly twice as large as the Small Sugar. Keeps all winter if put in a dry moderately warm 
place. Seed grown on our own farm and will produce pumpkins of very uniform size, shape and color. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; )4 Lb. 35c; Lb. $1.10. 
SMALL SUGAR (also called “New England Pie’’). The Favorite Pie Pumpkin. Small, deep 
yellow pumpkins, ribbed and slightly flattened at the ends. They have good thick, sweet flesh that, 
is excellent for pies. There is always a good demand for these pumpkins in market and this is one of the 
best varieties to grow for t he roadside trade as well as the home garden. Ripens early and is very prolific. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; M Lb. 30c; Lb. 85c. 
CONNECTICUT FIELD or “Big Tom.” The common large yellow field pumpkin used for “Jack 
O’Lanterns” and stock feeding. Our strain is very uniform, producing large, handsome fruit.

largest pumpkin grown, the fruit sometimes weighing 100 lbs. or more. The pumpkins are salmon 
pink and nearly round. The flesh is yellow, thick and of fair quality.

Rhabarber (Ger.) RHUBARB OT PIEPLANT Rabarbaro (It.) 
The roots can be raised from seed sown in the spring, and are ready to transplant to the perma¬ 
nent bed the next spring. Seedlings cannot be relied upon to reproduce the variety true to type no 
matter how carefully the seed is raised, so only the roots that produce the largest and best stalks 
should be used, the rest being discarded. See also page 83 for roots. 
MYATT’S LINNAEUS. Stalks grow very large and are light green and scarlet in color. 
Seed: Pkt. 10c; Oz. 20c; )4 Lb. 50c; Lb. $1.65. 
Roots: 1 year, 20c Ea.; $1.40 perDoz. transportation paid. Not paid; $6.00 per 100. (Wt. 1 lb. ea.) 
MACDONALD. (New.) Roots only. This remarkable variety is the most distinct 
-1 improvement which has been made in rhubarb in a good many years. 
We obtained the original roots a number of years ago from MacDonald College of McGill 
University at Montreal, and have increased our stock by root division. 
The stalks are very large, of a bright crimson color, tender and of excellent flavor. When 
cooked they make a beautiful deep pink sauce. The plant is high yielding, strong and robust. 
We offer roots only of this variety. Although MacDonald sometimes puts up a seed stalk like 
MacDonald Rhubarb other varieties it does not pollinate readily and we have never succeeded in harvesting any seed.
