transplant to rows 2% to 3 feet apart, plants being 1% to 2 feet apart 
in the row. Seed may also be sown in the open ground, after danger of 
frost, and when plants are 3 inches high, transplant as above. 
CALIFORNIA WONDER. Here is a new Pepper of real merit. It is 
medium early; square-ended. It will sit upright and is ideal to stuff 
and bake, or to serve whole with salad. Its walls are exceptionally 
thick, heavier and firmer than any other sort, and the flesh is deli¬ 
ciously sweet and spicy, with no bite to it. The deep attractive green 
changes to a brilliant crimson. Try it; it’s a wonder. Pkt, 10c; y 2 oz.,

OSHKOSH. A yellow Pepper. We believe it will be largely grown when 
gardeners discover its merits. Before maturing it is of a deep green 
color; large, smooth, best shape for stuffing. When ripe the color is a 
deep golden yellow. Flesh exceptionally thick. Oshkosh is the sweetest 
Pepper grown. We highly recommend this Pepper to those who wish 
to raise green Peppers for market or home use where smooth, firm, 
thick flesh and high quality are more desired than earliness. Pkt., 10c;
