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 2% in. in diameter, and of 
very mild, sweet flavor.

677 RUMANIAN WAX. (Semi-Hot.) Large Yellow Fruit. This is the 
popular large-fruited wax pepper that many growers and markets are 
demanding. The attractive lemon-yellow peppers turn bright red when 
fully ripe and have sweet flesh but pungent ribs. Valuable for people 
who do not want the extremely hot varieties, but like a little pungency. 
The peppers are long, 44% to 5 in. and about 21% inches across at the 
shoulder, with a tapering shape. Plants tall, early and prolific.
