Pepper — Hungarian Yellow Wax 



This is a large fruited, early, hot pepper which is 

 highly esteemed in some sections, especially for 

 canning. The plants are strong growing with 

 larger, lighter colored foliage than other varieties 

 of hot peppers and have more the appearance of 

 the sweet pepper type. They are very productive, 

 bearing numerous fruits which are six to seven 

 inches long, one and one-half to two inches in 

 diameter at stem end, tapering to a point. They 

 are somewhat crumpled and the point is usually 

 hooked. The color of fruits is light greenish-yellow 

 when young, changing to orange-yellow and then 

 to cherry-red when ripe. They are much larger 

 and the flesh is decidedly thicker than that of any 

 of the other hot peppers. (See further description on

Pepper — Harris' Early Giant 



A variety of recent introduction which has be- 

 come deservedly popular for the home and market 

 garden on account of its large size and earliness. 

 The plants are vigorous and sturdy, usually 

 eighteen to twenty-four inches tall, open in habit 

 with medium dark green foliage. They are highly 

 productive, bearing from six to ten fruits per 

 plant. The fruits, which closely resemble Giant 

 Crimson, are often three to three and one-half 

 inches wide and four and one-half to five inches 



long. They are medium dark green when immature, turning to a bright red when ripe. The flesh 

 is moderately thick and of excellent quality without a trace of pungency. Our trials have shown that this 

 is not quite as early as some of the smaller fruited varieties but is only a few days later and is 

 surprisingly early for so large a pepper. We have found that Harris' Early Giant produced a good crop in 

 seasons when the yield of some of the later varieties was much below normal. It will be found especially desirable 

 for growing in the North where the season is often too short and cool for many of the large fruited varieties.

Pepper, Harris' Early Giant 



Pepper — California Wonder 



Our expectation that this variety would prove one of the most valuable of recent introduction has been fully 

 realized the past two seasons. The intensive breeding and selecting work done at our Oakview Stock Seed Farms 

 have resulted in making it more uniform and have added to its many excellent qualities. 



The fruits are blocky or square-shaped, slightly broader at stem end than at nose, without distinct lobing 

 or indentations, and especially free from roughness at blossom end. 



Full grown fruits commonly have a breadth of four inches and a length of four and one-half inches, and it 

 is not unusual to find specimens weighing a full pound. They present the smooth, attractive dark green color 

 of the Pimiento when young, turning to bright crimson as they ripen. 



The plants are slightly spreading, sturdy and productive, bearing from five to nine large fruits at a setting. 

 Although not strictly an early variety, California Wonder will produce marketable sized fruits as early as the 

 second-early sorts. 



While this new pepper possesses so many points of excellence, its most outstanding feature is the thickness 

 of flesh. In examining hundreds of fruits during our seeding operations, it has not been uncommon to find fruits 

 showing flesh three-eighths of an inch thick. In addition to this thickness of flesh, it is of the finest quality, 

 being sweet, crisp and tender and entirely free from pungency. 



In addition to being a very desirable home and market garden sort this is especially adapted for shipping 

 long distances. Shipments of California Wonder to the large eastern markets have usually commanded a sub- 

 stantial premium above the market price for other varieties. (See further description on page 50.) Pkt. 10c;
