676 CALIFORNIA 



WONDER (Sweet) 



{Shown in Colors on Page 22.) 



Thick Flesh, Sweet, Crisp and 



Tender 



It is similar in appearance to Chinese 

 Giant, being of just such a vivid scarlet 

 color, but it is much more weighty and 

 has much thicker flesh. 



Fruits of California Wonder often 

 weigh half a pound to one pound each, 

 and there is no doubt that this is the 

 "meatiest" pepper ever introduced. The 

 flavor is so mild, delicious and free from 

 pungency that it may be eaten just 

 like an apple.

677 CHINESE GIANT 



(Sweet) 



This monstrous fruiting variety averages 

 12 to 15 inches in circumference, and, 

 notwithstanding its immense size, it is 

 very early and prolific; the stocky, well- 

 branched plants, about 2 feet high, 

 carry so many peppers that in places 

 they seem bunched together. The flesh 

 is thick, tender, mild, sweet, and un- 

 excelled when sliced as salad, or for 

 stuffing for "Mangoes." When ripe the 

 surface is of a brilliant glossy scarlet.
