PEPPERS 
A packet of seed will produce about 75 plants; an ounce about 1000 plants. 
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 in 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. 
Harris’ Northern Grown Pepper Seed 
Most seed companies do not produce pepper seed as far north as we 
are because ordinary 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 developed Harris’ Early Giant, Harris’ King 
of the North, Harris’ Improved Squash, Hot Portugal and finally our 
newest introduction Harris’ Wonder. 
HARRIS’ WONDER. Heavy Yielding. This is a most desir- 
able thick meated variety of our own 
breeding and is remarkable for its yield of large smooth fruit. Seed of 
our own growing. See photo and description on page 5. 
Pkt. 10c; % Oz. 30c; Oz. 50c; 44 Lb. $1.50; Lb. $5.00. 
HARRIS’ KING OF THE NORTH. Enormous Early 
Fruit, Abundant 
Yield. This pepper has become a great favorite since we introduced it 
a number of years ago. See full description on page 5. Seed of our own 
growing. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Oz. 30c; Oz. 50c; 144 Lb. $1.50; Lb. $5.00. 
HARRIS’ EARLI EST. The Earliest Pepper. “Best for far North.” 
If 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. z : 
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 214 in. in diameter, and of 
very mild, sweet flavor. Seed of our own growing.

Harris’ Improved Squash Peppers 
Prolific—thick meated, excellent for “Pimientos.” 
HARRIS’ IMPROVED SQUASH. Heavy Yielding 
Strain. This is the 
pepper which is so popular for canning because of its extremely thick 
flesh and fine quality. The shape is shown in the photo above. In many 
sections they are called “‘Pimientos.” 
Our strain is by far the best of this type for the North. It is early, 
very prolific and thick meated, and is a great improvement over 
Cheese or Sunnybrook, etc. With our early prolific strain you can get 
large dependable crops of fine fruit year after year even here in the 
North. Seed of our own growing. 
Pkt. 10c; % Oz. 30c; Oz. 50c; 14 Lb. $1.50; Lb. $5.00. 
HARRIS’ EARLY GIANT. Large Early Fruit. This is the earliest 
pepper of large size and valuable for that reason. The fruit is large, often 
41% inches deep and 31% inches through, with thin mild flesh. It ripens 
early turning from a deep green to brilliant red. 
We introduced this pepper in 1924 and it has been a great favorite 
for early crops in the North. The plants grow upright and bear heavy 
crops of fruit long before the later kinds are ready. 
Pkt. 10c; 4 Oz. 30c; Oz. 50c; 44 Lb. $1.50; Lb. $5.00. 
WINDSOR A. Early Thick Meated. The peppers are smooth and long, 
usually tapering to a point. They ripen early and the vines are very 
prolific. Light green turning to a bright scarlet color. The flesh is very 
thick. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Oz. 30c; Oz. 50c; 14 Lb. $1.50; Lb. $5.00. 
CALIFORNIA WONDER. True Stock. We have a very superior stock 
of this fine variety which is so widely grown for large thick meated 
green peppers by market growers. The fruit is of the true California 
Wonder shape, large and smooth, and with very thick flesh which 
makes it exceptionally heavy. They mature medium early and under 
good growing conditions will make a very profitable crop. 
Pkt. 10c; % Oz. 30c; Oz. 55c; 144 Lb. $1.60; Lb. $5.50. 
WORLDBEATER. Bears large fruit often 5 inches long and 34% inches 
in diameter. The fruit is deep green turning red when ripe. Matures 
medium early. These peppers are mild and sweet and very thick fleshed. 
Under proper conditions it is an extremely heavy bearer but is more 
suited to climates south of New York State. This is the same fine stock 
which has given our customers much satisfaction for many years. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 45c; 144 Lb. $1.20; Lb. $4.00. 
WORLDBEATER, EARLY STRAIN. (New.) This is an exceptionally 
fine stock of Worldbeater which bears better in Northern sections. With 
us it ripens just after California Wonder and it produces excellent large 
heavy fruit of true Worldbeater type. The plants are large and very 
productive. We highly recommend this new strain. 
Pkt. 15¢e; 4% Oz. 35c; Oz. 60c; 14 Lb. $1.75; Lb. $6.00. 
OSHKOSH. The largest and best yellow pepper. Oshkosh, especially 
when ripe, is the finest pepper we know for “Stuffed Peppers.” They 
can be used either green or ripe and when stuffed and baked 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. 
Pkt. 15c; 14 Oz. 35c; Oz. 60c; 14 Lb. $1.75; Lb. $6.00. 
PIMIENTO. We have discontinued this variety because it seldom bears 
well in the North, and recommend Harris’ Improved Squash (above).
