Harris’ Northern Grown Pepper Seed 
If you want to make peppers a profitable crop here in the North, use Harris’ Northern Grown 
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 profitable 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. 
663 Harris’ King of the North 
Very 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 left. 
The flesh is firm, mild and sweet. Harris 
Northern grown seed of this variety is by far 
the best strain obtainable. See prices on next 
page. 
662 Harris’ Improved 
Squash Pepper 
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 mild, sweet flesh. These 
peppers are also known as ‘‘Pimientos’’ and 



Harris’ “King of the North” Peppers are used for canning whole in some sections.

656 Calwonder—Early (New) 
Large Early Fruits of California Wonder Type 
This variety ripens at least a week earlier than California Wonder and produces heavy crops 
of fine large blocky fruit of the same type as that variety. The peppers are 3 and 4 lobed, uniform, 
and the flesh is very thick. 
The plants are dwarf and very sturdy and the fruit are easily picked without breaking the 
stalks. Big heavy peppers are produced in great abundance on these strong vines. Calwonder is 
well adapted for shorter seasons and is already Very popular in New England and many other 
sections. See prices on next page. 
652 California Wonder 
Large Fruit—Heavy Yielder 
Ours is a remarkably superior stock of this fine pepper, which is so widely grown by market 
gardeners in all sections. The plants are of strong sturdy character and very prolific, bearing large 
crops of fine large peppers. The peppers are of the true California Wonder type, smooth and heavy, 
having very thick flesh. We are sure you will like this stock. See prices on next page. 
670 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 grown by us on our own farms. See prices on next page.
