* WINDSOR ‘‘A’’: 60 days. Originated at the Con- 
necticut Experiment Station. Windsor “A” is one 
of the best of our large early sweet peppers. The 
peppers. are thick-walled, sweet and tender. The 
only criticisms we have are their long shape and the 
fact that the peppers are a little lighter green than 
the public has been used to. Pkt. 10 cts.; % oz. 
20 cts.; oz. 60 cts.; 14 lb. $1.60; lb. $5.50. 
HARRIS EARLIEST: 55 days. We recommend this 
for an early variety. The peppers are only medium 
size and the meat is rather thin but it is, we believe, 
the best of the early varieties of sweet peppers.
