MARKET GARDENERS 

 SUPERIOR STOCKS 



The Most Perfect 

 Pepper Ever Developed 



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.

Bulgarian 



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. (See engraving.) 



Price, oz. $2.50, 34 lb. $8.00. 



Hungarian Wax Pepper 



Somewhat similar to the Bul- 

 garian listed above. Fruits equally 

 as long but wider at the shoulder 

 and slightly thicker throughout. 

 Price, oz. $1.50, M lb- $4.00.

BULGARIAN PEPPER 



Chinese Giant. 



Wehave a very fine selection of this famous 

 variety, with large, well-shaped fruits, 

 thick, meaty flesh and magnificent color. The fruits are even in 

 size, and the strong bushy plants produce a heavy crop. 

 Price, oz. $1.00, M lb. $3.00. (Seed scarce)

used largely m pickles. 

 Price, oz. 70c., }4 lb.'$2.00, lb. $6.00. 



Ohio Crimson Giant 



A recent introduction. Ohio Crimson Giant is early and bears 

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

 fleshed, the fruits ranging as large as Chinese Giant but of better 

 formation. It is predicted that on account of its productiveness of 

 high quality saleable fruit it will take front rank as a market grower's 

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



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

 which I have been planting viith 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.
