656 CALWONDER. Early. Large Fruits of California Wonder Type. 
This excellent variety bears large square heavy fruit like California 
Wonder in size and shape but ripens at least a week earlier, The fruit are 
thick fleshed, meaty and very large, and are ideal for home and market 
growers who have difficulty in raising California Wonder in the North. 
The plants are dwarf but very sturdy and they bear tremendous 
crops of these fine big fruits. Calwonder is rapidly becoming one of 
the most widely grown peppers in the East.

652 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 Cali- 
fornia 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.

662 HARRIS’ IMPROVED SQUASH. reat Yielding 
ain. This is 
the pepper which is so popular for canning caret of its extremely 
thick flesh and fine quality. The shape is square, short and blunt, and 
they are nearly all meat. 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.

676 OSHKOSH. The largest and best yellow pepper. Oshkosh, 
especially when ripe, is the finest pepper we know of 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.

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 75. 
Hanis’ Norther 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 profit- 
able. 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. 
660 HARRIS’ EARLIEST. The Earliest Pepper. 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. For the far northern parts 
of the country where the larger and later kinds do not mature, this is 
the only sweet pepper that will make a good crop every season, and it 
will ripen much earlier than any other kind. 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 24 in. in diameter, and of 
very mild, sweet flavor. 
Pkt. 15¢; 4% Oz. 45c; Oz. 85c; 144 Lb. $2.65. 
661 HARRIS’ EARLY GIANT. The earliest pepper of large size and 
valuable for that reason. The fruit are usually about 414 inches: deep 
and 31% inches through, with thin mild flesh. It ripens early turning 
from.a deep green to brilliant red. 
Crop failed. 
681 WORLDBEATER, EARLY STRAIN. (New). This early strain of 
Worldbeater is by far the best we have ever seen. It ripens several 
days earlier than the older type and bears much better crops in North- 
ern sections. On our farm it has consistently produced good yields of 
fine large peppers even in our short seasons. 
The fruit are of true Worldbeater type, large and very uniform and 
the thick flesh makes them exceptionally heavy. They are about 5 
inches long and 314 inches in diameter, deep green in color, turning 
red when ripe. The plants are strong and very dependable producers. 
Very highly recommended.
