679 GOLDEN CALIFORNIA 
WONDER 
(See color plate page 58) 
Golden California Wonder has all the 
grand qualities that have made the red 
variety so popular. The large green 
fruits have the same thick and solid 
flesh walls. They have the same fine 
flavor—sweet, mild, and free from all 
unpleasant pungency—but at maturity 
they turn a rich golden yellow. Further- 
more, the flesh of the ripened fruits is 
just as sweet and tender as it is in the 
green state. 
The large green fruits are ready for use 
in 72 days from the time that the plants 
are set out. They are commonly 44% 
_inches long and 4 inches through. They 
are thus of the good “‘blocky”’ shape that 
is so desirable for stuffing or any other 
culinary purpose. Slices of the ripened 
fruits with their delightful golden yellow 
color make an attractive addition to the 
salad bowl. The plants are thrifty, up- 
right in growth, and heavy producers 
over a long season.
