Harris’ Northern Grown Pepper Seed 
If you want to make peppers a profitable crop, here in the North use Harris’ Grown Northern 
Pepper Seed. We have specialized for over twenty years in growing peppers on our farm. Years 
ago we found out that the varieties which are usually grown in the long seasons and warmer cli- 
mates farther south did not ripen enough fruit to make peppers a profitable crop in the North. So 
we developed a number of early, heavy bearing varieties, which are suited to our conditions and will 
produce an abundance of ripe fruit wherever the seasons are short. 
Harris’ Wonder 
A Truly Great Pepper 
This is a smooth thick fleshed California 
Wonder type which combines earliness with 
high yield. It will give you not only large 
crops of green peppers but an abundance of 
ripe fruit before frost. 
The peppers are large, chunky and beau- 
tiful dark green turning to rich red when 
ripe. They are very thick meated and the 
quality is excellent. A level bushel weighs 
over 30 lbs. 
Those who have grown this variety since 
we introduced it in 1937 have been most 
enthusiastic in its praise. Grow some this 
year, we know you will like it. Seed of our 
own growing.

“T had your pepper seed last year and had the honor of 
having the best on Menands Market. They were wonder- 
ful. There were quite a few farmers bought them for seed.” 
Albert Ferreiro, Watervliet, N. Y. Mar. 7, 1940.

Harris’ Earliest—The Earliest Sweet Pepper 
Introduced in 1918 and still going strong! 
Harris’ Earliest is an invaluable variety for the extreme northern parts of the country where 
other peppers will not ripen. We grow and check on our farms practically every new pepper that 
is brought out and we have not seen one which is earlier. It is the result of over twenty years of 
growing here in the North with constant improvement for size, earliness and yield. The plants are 
not large but are literally covered with medium size, attractive bright red fruit. If you want very 
early fruit or have trouble getting peppers ripe, we recommend that you plant some of the Harris’ 
Earliest. Seed of our own growing. See prices on next page. 
Harris’ Early Giant—The Earliest Large Pepper 
Harris’ Early Giant which we introduced a number of years ago is unquestionably recognized 
as the standard large early variety and gardeners in the North find it very profitable to grow. 
It is a most dependable cropper producing an abundance of large peppers often 41% in. long 
and 4 in. across and only a week later than Harris’ Earliest, the earliest pepper grown. To be sure 
of the true stock, get your Harris’ Early Giant from us. Seed of our own growing. See prices on next 
page. 
Harris’ Improved Squash Pepper—Very Early and Heavy Yielder 
This pepper replaces the old type known as Squash, Cheese, Sunnybrook, etc. 
It is so early and prolific that it produces three times as many peppers as any other ‘‘Squash 
or Cheese” pepper which we have seen. This early character and high yield make it a profitable 
kind to grow even here in the north. The fruit is the true “Squash” shape, with very thick flesh 
which is mild and sweet. These peppers are also known as ‘“‘Pimientoes’”’ and are used for canning 
whole in some sections. Seed of our own growing. See prices on next page. 
Hot Portugal—Large and Hot 
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 on next page.
