Harris’ King of the North Peppers 
This standard bushel basket shows their enormous size. 
Large Early 
HARRIS’ EARLY GIANT, tates, Early 
large size, heavy yield and earliness 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 gar- 
den. 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 414 inches deep and 34% 
inches through, and the color deep green turning to 
brilliant red. The flesh is medium thick.

WINDSOR “‘A’’ (New.) Early Thick Meated. This 
new pepper was developed by Dr. Lawrence Curtis of 
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 21% inches at the top and 41% to 5 
inches long. It is an early and prolific variety produc- 
ing a lot of ripe fruit. If you are interested in thick 
flesh this is well worth trying.

Heavy Yielding 
HARRIS’ IMPROVED SQUASH. Strain. 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 its extremely thick flesh and fine quality. 
In many sections they are called ** Pimientos.” 
This stock is a vast improvement over Cheese or Sunnybrook and 
others of this type. 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 year after year before the plants are 
killed by frost. Seed of our own growing.

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 large and the thick flesh makes them 
exceptionally heavy. They mature medium early and under good grow- 
ing conditions will make a profitable crop.

Harris’ Wonder Peppers 
Grown by V. A. Doty, West Springfield, Mass. 
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. 
Seed should be sown in the greenhouse or indoors in flats, or in hot beds, 
in April and grown into flats before setting outdoors. 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. 
Aarris’ 
avis’ Northern Grown Pepper Seed 
Pepper seed is not ordinarily raised as far north as we are because 
most yarieties 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 developed Harris’ Early Giant, Harris’ King of the North, 
Harris’ Improved Squash, Hot Portugal and finally our newest introduction 
Harris’ Wonder.

of our own breeding is remarkable for its yield of large smooth fruit.

HARRIS’ EARLIEST. The Earliest Pepper. 
“ “Best for Far North.” 1f 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 on 
good ground produce so many peppers that they 
hardly seem able to support them. They are of good 
size, often 3 in. long and 2% in. in diameter, and of 
very mild, sweet flavor. Seed of our own growing.

RUBY KING. 5 to 6 in. long, and 24% to 3 in. across, 
bright deep green when young, and red when ripe, 
thick flesh and very mild. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; 14 Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.35.
