PEPPERS 
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, branching 
and literally covered with the immense fruit. 
The size and shape of the peppers is well 
shown in the photograph to the right. 
The flesh is firm, mild and sweet. If you 
have not done so we urge you to try these 
peppers this year. Seed, of our own growing. 
See prices below. 
“We live in a zone that has frost often into early June 
and wish to state that your Northern Grown seed of peppers 
have never failed. 
I grew your King of the North, some as large as 7 in. long 
and 4 in. wide — as fleshy as your Improved Squash and 
equal to heavy Pimientos. They can't be improved on.” 
F. W. L. Schneider, Tyrone, Penn. March 6, 1939. 
Harris’ King of the North Peppers. 
Noted for heavy yield and large size. 
Hot Portugal —Large 
If you want lots of large, long hot peppers, grow this kind. The fruit is long, pointed and quite 
smooth for a pepper of this type. They normally average six inches or over in length and are borne 
profusely on the sturdy plant. This pepper is bright red when ripe and in addition to its large size, 
is just as hot as the old Giant Cayenne. Seed of our own growing. See prices below. 
NOTE: Yi ounce of pepper seed supplied at 3/2 the ounce price. Oz. lb. lb.
