NEW CALIFORNIA WONDER PEPPER 



The Most Perfect 

 Pepper Ever Developed 



Shown in Colors on Front Cover 



California Wonder 



A large variety with unusually thick flesh, and a wonderfully smooth 

 skin. 



The color of the peppers, before ripening, is deep green, but when fully 

 ripe they turn to a beautiful scarlet color. 



These peppers have a very attractive appearance due to their waxy 

 surface and intense color. 



California Wonder is one of the best shipping varieties, due to the 

 thickness of its interior walls, which give great solidity to the peppers. 



It is a prolific cropper and produces peppers considerably heavier than 

 other peppers of the same size. We feel very confident that California 

 Wonder will take its place as a leading variety for the market grower.

 a large crop of smooth brilliant crimson fruit. It is mild and thick

 variety. {See engraving.) Price, oz. 70c, )4 lb. $2.00, lb. $6.00. 



"I also wish to commend you on the excellent stock of your Ohio Crimson Giant Pepper 

 which I have been planting with highly satisfactory results. I do not hesitate to recom- 

 mend Henderson's seeds to my fellow gardeners, as I have learned from my 20 years of 

 practical gardening experience that it does not pay to buy or use cheap seeds that are 

 represented as just as good." RICHARD DRUDE, Ponchatoula, La. 



Larger and More Pungent than Cayenne 



This valuable variety is quite different from other sorts in cultivation. 

 The peppers average from 6 to 8 inches in length and are about one inch in 

 diameter at the shoulder tapering gradually to a point. They have a 

 highly polished sheen, the color at the picking stage is red blended with 

 yellow, the entire pod finally turning deep red. 



It is more pungent than Cayenne and has an agreeable peppery flavor. 

 It thrives and bears well on heavy soils where other peppers will not do well. 



This variety is well known in the 

 Middle West where there is an 

 active market demand for it.

"I desire to state that I have raised many 

 varieties of Peppers but find none to compare 

 with your new early sweet Pepper. It has many 

 good points, earliness to mature and handsome 

 to look at."
