PEPPER 



( CAPSICUM) 



The two varieties offercti on this page represent an entirel\ new trend in Peppers. Appar- 

 ently each of them is from the same original stock for each has a distinguishing thickness of 

 flesh which we have never known in any other varieties. They are varieties which will bear 

 the close attention of all growers. Unfortunately our stock of Panama is limited this year 

 beciuse of the nearly total loss of our seed crop in one of the Tropical storms. This loss 

 could not be replaced. 



No. 62-Calif ornia 

 Wonder 



Days to mauirity, l.?0-15(). 



The illustration on this page 



gives a ven,' fair idea of the 



appearance of this Pepper- 



What it fails to give is a true 



conception of the flesh wall 



which is responsible for the 



unusual weight. The flesh i.> 



of very high quality, being 



aljsolutely sweet and crisp. 



The color is a rich, dark 



green in the early stages, 



_ . , ,., J turning to a brilliant crimson. 

 California Wonder 



In maturity, California 

 Wonder is main season, being 



about comparable to World Beater and Peppers of that type. The plant is a heavy producer, often bearing 

 6 or 8 large fruits at one time. Because of the firm.ness of the wall, lii develops a thickness of from 34 to 5^ 

 inches), it has proven to be a wonderful shipping variety. It packs well, the skin is smooth and glossy and they 

 will not wilt under long distance handling. We believe California Wonder is a distinct addition to our list and 

 we want vou to trv it. Average weight of the fruit from 9 to lOountes. Price, delivered : pkt., 25c; oz., $1.25; 

 Vi lb., $4.25; 1/2 lb.. $8.0«; lb.. $15.00; 5 lbs., @, $14.75 per lb.: 10 lbs., $14.50 per lb.; 50 lbs., 

 $14.00 per lb. 



No. 63.-PANAMA 



Days to maturit> , 120-140. We predict a strong future for the Panama Pepper as introduced by us last year- 

 Panama has the same thick flesh characteristics of California Wonder. It differs only in the shape of the fruit 

 which averages inchfes in length and about SJ^ inches in diameter. The immediate history of Panama 

 is obscure, but it is certainly of the same blood as California Wonder. In season Panama will rif>en just after 

 Ruby King. It is a full setting variety and some magnificient crops of Panama have been made. Some of 

 our customers have preferred Panama to California W^onder in cases where the sheer weight of that variety 

 was the cause of heavy crop damage under high wind conditions. Panama, like California Wonder, has a very 

 mild, crisp flesh. It will be a wonderful variety for pickling or shipping. Its thick wall will insure its safe 

 arrival on any market and its elegant apf)earance cannot fail to bring the high money. Price, delivered: 

 pkt., 25c; oz.. $1.25; V4 lb., $4.25; Vz lb., $8.00; lb., $15.00; 5 lbs., (5, $14.75 per lb.; 10 lbs., ^ $14.50 

 per lb.; 50 lbs., (& $14.00 per lb.
