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 ten years 
ago, 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 immense 
fruit. The photo on the right shows the shape, size 
and enormous yield per plant. 
The peppers are dark green in color, turning 
to a rich deep red when ripe. The flesh is firm, 
mild and sweet. 
Harris’ Northern grown seed of this variety 
is by far the best strain obtainable. Do not take 
chances with inferior seed, but buy direct from us 
and get the true original early strain. See prices 
on next page. 
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, 
very large and the flesh is thick, making the 
peppers exceptionally heavy. 
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 Harris’ King of the North 
very popular in New England and many other Frank Chriscola, Agawam, Mass. shows the heavy yield

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 big 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. 
677 Roumanian Wax 
Large Early Yellow Type 
This attractive early yellow pepper is much in demand on many markets. It is considered a 
semi-sweet type, the flesh being sweet but the ribs are pungent. The peppers grow 4 to 5 in. long 
by 2)4 in. across at the shoulder and are usually tapering or pointed in shape. They have a clear 
waxy lemon yellow color, turning brilliant red when fully ripe. Vines are large and prolific and we 
highly recommend this strain. See prices on next page.
