A packet of seed will produce about 75 plants: an ounce about 1000 plants. 
Harris? King of the North 
The vines are loaded with big fruit early in the season. 
663 HARRIS’ KING OF THE NORTH. Enormous Early 
Fruit, Abundant 
Yield. This immense pepper of our own growing is the largest early 
red pepper. The fruit is of long shape, growing up to 8 inches long and 
3 or 4 inches broad at the top. The flesh is medium thick, very crisp, 
mild and sweet. Because of its size and shape it is preferred by many for 
stuffing and baking. 
It starts to ripen very early, the peppers turning from dark green toa 
deep rich red when ripe. The plants are of branching growth and 
literally covered with these enormous fruit. Under most conditions, it 
is the heaviest yielder we know, and we consider it the finest early 
large pepper for both the market and home garden.

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 all 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. 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 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.

681 WORLDBEATER, EARLY STRAIN. This early strain of World- 
beater is by far the best we have ever seen. It ripens several days 
earlier than the older type and bears much better crops in Northern 
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 34% inches in diameter, deep green in color, turning 
red when ripe. The plants are strong and very dependable producers. 
Very highly recommended.

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. 
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 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’ King of the North, Harris’ Improved 
Squash, Hot Portugal and Harris’ Wonder for Northern growers. 
665 HARRIS’ WONDER. Baye Prolific, Thick Meated. 
In our opinion this is the finest 
general purpose pepper for every garden. The bright red fruit is of good 
size, very smooth, blunt in shape and exceptionally thick meated. 
Because of its unusually thick and very sweet flesh, it is ideal for slicing, 
as well as being good for baking and relish, and may be used when either 
green or red. 
The fruits are borne well up off the ground on sturdy plants and start 
ripening sufficiently early to yield heavy crops even in our short North- 
ern seasons. It is the earliest pepper that carries the thick flesh and 
fine blocky shape of California Wonder, and is an ideal type for both 
home and market. Since we first introduced this variety, the consistent 
increase in demand has made it our largest selling pepper.

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 thick and sweet. 
Pkt. 10c; 4% Oz. 45c; Oz. 80c; 14 Lb. $2.40.
