an ounce about 1000 plants. 
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.

Thick-fleshed peppers of fine type are ready very early. 
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; 4 Oz. 55c; Oz. $1.00; 14 Lb. $2.75. 
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. 
Seed of our own growing. Pkt. 15c; 14 Oz. 50c; Oz. 90c; 14 Lb. $2.40. 
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. 15c; 4% Oz. 45c; Oz. 85c; 14 Lb. $2.40. 
658 GOLDEN CALIFORNIA WONDER. (New). Replaces Oshkosh. 76 days. 
These beautiful golden fruit are the kind to grow if you want the finest 
of yellow peppers. Superior to the old Oshkosh which was a favorite 
with our customers for many years, Golden California Wonder has 
large blocky fruit of true California Wonder type with extra thick, 
sweet flesh. Its vines are very vigorous and productive, and the big 
peppers ripen from a rich green to a clear golden yellow. Ideal for 
stuffing or salads. Pkt. 20c; 44 Oz. 65c; Oz. $1.20; 14 Lb. $3.50. 
678 SWEET BANANA. Long Pointed Yellow Fruit. 70 days. Popular in 
some sections, this variety looks like a hot pepper but has sweet flesh. 
The fruit are about 6 in. long, pointed, light yellow turning to bright 
red. Plants sturdy, yields heavy. 
Pkt. 20c; 4 Oz. 55c; Oz. $1.00; 14 Lb. $3.00.

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.) 
679 VINEDALE. (New). Replaces Harris’ Earliest. 
62 days. We think so much of this new early pepper that we are offering 
it in place of our own Harris’ Earliest, famous for over 30 years as the 
best extra early pepper. Vinedale has larger and smoother fruit, thicker 
flesh and even better yields and ripens only a couple of days later. The 
uniformly dwarf vines produce tremendous numbers of tapered or 
pointed fruit turning red very early. All-America Winner. See photo 
and full description on page 4. 
Pkt. 25c; 4% Oz. 65c; Oz. $1.20; 14 Lb. $3.50. 
675 PENNWONDER. the Finest Early Pepper. 
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, and has good size, an attractive blocky or tapered 
shape, and extra-thick walls. Dark green turning to rich red when ripe, 
the crisp flesh is always sweet and mild. They are delicious for slicing, 
relish or stuffing. 
The sturdy dwarf plants set heavily under almost any conditions, 
and they produce continually from early until frost. If you have had 
difficulty growing good peppers, plant Pennwonder. 
Pkt. 20c; 144 Oz. 60c; Oz. $1.10; 14 Lb. $2.95.
