Peppers can now be grown successfully even in short season areas, 
thanks to the fine early strains which we offer. Growing peppers here 
in the North has been a Harris’ specialty for many years, and our 
seed is noted for its vigor, high germination and trueness to type.

Pennwonder—Best of the early peppers. 
663 HARRIS’ KING OF THE NORTH. Enormous Fruit. 
68 days. For largest early peppers, plant this Harris strain. The fruit 
grows up to 8 inches long and 3 or 4 inches across the top, and has 
medium thick flesh—crisp, mild and sweet. It is fine for stuffing and 
baking, as well as slicing and salads. 
Ripening very early, the peppers turn from dark green to deep rich 
red. The plants are of branching growth and are literally covered with 
enormous fruit. Under most conditions, it is the heaviest yielder we 
know, and we consider it the finest early large pepper. 
Pkt. 15c; % Oz. 50c; Oz. 95c; 14 Lb. $2.65. 
662 HARRIS’ IMPROVED SQUASH. Heavy Yielding Strain. 65 days. 
Often used for “‘pimentos’’ in the North. The fruit are tomato-shaped, 
2 in. deep and 21% to 3 in. in diameter, square and blunt and they are 
nearly all meat. Highly popular for canning and freezing because of 
the extremely thick flesh, our strain is by far the best of this type for 
the North. It is earlier and more prolific than others, and year after 
year it produces large dependable crops of fine thick-meated fruit.

HARRIS’ PEPPER PLANTS 
Fine, sturdy plants of the best varieties, either hardy trans- 
planted plants or seedlings. See page 75 for full information and 
prices. 
681 WORLDBEATER, EARLY STRAIN. 75 days. Our strain of this famous 
market and shipping pepper ripens several days ahead of the older 
type and bears much better crops in most sections. On our farm it has 
consistently produced good yields even in our short seasons. 
The fruit are of true Worldbeater type, large, dark green and very 
uniform and the thick flesh makes them exceptionally heavy. They are 
about 5 inches long and 3 inches across. The large plants are depend- 
able producers. Pkt. 15¢e; % Oz. 45c; Oz. 85c; 144 Lb. $2.30. 
676 OSHKOSH. The Largest and Best Yellow Pepper. 72 days. Oshkosh, 
especially when ripe, is the finest kind we know 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. 15c; 4% Oz. 45c; Oz. 85c; 14 Lb. $2.50.

A packet of seed will produce about 75 plants; 
Sow the seed early indoors in flats, cover lightly and keep very warm 
until the seed comes up. Transplant outdoors after frost danger is 
past. For home gardens, we suggest buying plants. See page 75. 
(Days to maturity are from the time the plants are set out.) 
660 HARRIS’ EARLIEST. The Earliest Pepper. 
60 days. If you have difficulty in raising sweet peppers, try this kind. 
They always produce an abundance of fruit even in far northern 
sections where the larger and later kinds do not make a crop, and in 
all sections, they are the first to ripen. We often have ripe red peppers 
early in August. 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 214 in. in 
diameter, and of very mild, sweet flavor. 
Pkt. 15c; 4 Oz. 55c; Oz. $1.00; 144 Lb. $2.85. 
675 PENNWONDER. Early—Thick-Meated—Big Yields. 
68 days. For thick-fleshed fruit and tremendous crops in short season 
areas, Pennwonder is the best early pepper we know. Developed at Penn 
State College from a cross between our Harris’ Earliest and California 
Wonder, it successfully combines the best features of both. It is very 
early, ripening well ahead of Calwonder and has good size, an attractive 
blocky or tapered shape, and extra-thick walls. Dark green turning to 
rich red when ripe, the flesh is always sweet and mild. 
The ability of the sturdy dwarf plants to set numerous fruit under 
almost any conditions is a most desirable feature of this remarkable 
pepper. If you have had difficulty growing good peppers, try Penn- 
wonder. Pkt. 20c; 4% Oz. 55c; Oz. $1.00; 44 Lb. $2.75. 
665 HARRIS’ WONDER. Smooth, Blocky Fruit. 70 days. Its bright red 
fruit, good size, smooth shape and thick meat have made this a favorite 
with home gardeners. Either green or red, the crisp flesh is delicious for 
slicing, relish or stuffing. The large plants are good producers from 
early in the season until frost. Ever since we introduced it, Harris’ 
Wonder has been a very popular variety.

Calwonder 
Fine, thick-meated, handsome peppers. 
656 CALWONDER, Early. Very Large Heavy Peppers. 
72 days. If you want large, thick peppers, this excellent variety is the 
one to grow for market or home use in shorter season areas. The 
plants are more dwarf than California Wonder, the fruit ripen at least 
a week earlier and they are far more prolific in the Northeast. 
Ideal for stuffing, these smooth heavy peppers are blocky in shape, 
with an attractive dark green skin turning bright red when ripe. The 
tender crisp flesh is extraordinarily thick and sweet. A profitable and 
extremely productive variety, it is now the leading market pepper in 
our trade. Pkt. 15c; 44 Oz. 55c; Oz. $1.00; 14 Lb. $2.75. 
652 CALIFORNIA WONDER. True Stock. 76 days. This is the standard 
variety for growing large thick-meated green peppers for market and 
shipping all over the country. The fruit are of blocky or square shape, 
3 or 4 lobed, smooth and heavy. The flesh is thick and of fine flavor. 
Ripens early enough to mature heavy crops in all except the more 
northern sections. Pkt. 15c; 146 Oz. 50c; Oz. 95c; 14 Lb. $2.50.
