328. California Wonder Pepper 



A new pepper of real merit. It's nearly as large and earlier than Chinese 

 Giant, but is blocky or square ended. It is especially free from roughness. 

 It's pretty as a picture. Just the ideal shape. It will sit upright and is per- 

 fect to stuff and bake or to serve whole with salad. Its walls are exception- 

 ally thick, heavier and firmer than any other sort. The flesh is deliciously 

 sweet and spicy with no bite to it. The bright attractive green when young 

 changes to a brilliant light crimson as they mature. Full gro^^^^ peppers 

 commonly have a breadth of 4 inches and a length of 4% inches, weighing 

 as much as a full pound. The plants are slightly spreading, sturdy and pro- 

 ductive, bearing from 5 to 9 large fruits to a setting. For the home gardener, 

 market gardener and shipper, this is the ideal pepper. Give it a trial. Pkt. 

 10 cts.; oz. 65 cts.; ^4 lb. $2.35; lb. $9.00.

235. Broccoli Italian Green Sprouting 



Or Early Green Calabrese 



Italian Green Sprouting Broccoli 



This is a distinct variety so much 

 sought by the Italian trade and has be- 

 come very popular in the American Gar- 

 dens. The plants are rapid growing and 

 produce a large head at center of plant 

 in about 90 days from date of planting. 

 The head is a compact cluster of tightly 

 closed flower buds and resembles Cauli- 

 flower only in shape or formation, as the 

 color is dull bluish green. It is used 

 without blanching and is ready for use 

 as soon as fully developed. After this 

 central head is removed, the plant pro- 

 duces many branches each bearing 

 smaller terminals and lateral heads, 

 which are as fully desirable as the first 

 heads produced. If these heads are 

 gathered as soon as they hecome large 

 enough for use, the plant will continue to 

 produce for a period of from eight to 



ten weeks. The quality is fully equal to cauliflower and by many con- 

 sidered superior. Sei-ved in the same way as Asparagus, this is a very 

 tasty and nourishing dish. Can be sown in the Spring, Summer or Fall 

 and cultivated much the same as Cauliflower. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 25 cts.; U 

 lb. 75 cts.; lb. $2.50, postpaid.
