This American heirloom was featured on the cover of an ancient Harris' Seeds Catalogue. "Outstanding 1934 Introduction. Early and Very Prolific. The earliness and heavy yield make King of the North a variety that will give enormous yields of fine fruit even here in the North. The plants are literally covered with fruit". 68 days from planting out.

Sowing Advice

Surface-sow or barely cover the seeds indoors, and keep warm and moist. When sprouts appear move them to a sunny window. Set out well-developed transplants after last frost date when weather is warm. Peppers need rich moist soil and warm sunny conditions to flourish. Best sown in early spring.
