California Wonder Peppers 
CALIFORNIA WONDER XXX STRAIN. Specially selected for 
- very thick-lleshed, 
heavy fruits and uniformity by the originator of this wonderful strain. 
This special strain is well worth the higher price. 
CHINESE GIANT. The plants are vigorous but stocky, about 2 feet high, 
well branched and thickly set. The monstrous fruits mature slightly 
later than Ruby King, are blocky in form, 4 to 5 inches broad at the top 
and of equal length, divided into four or more large ridges, of a most 
brilliant glossy scarlet color and very mild. 
EARLY GIANT. This is valuable for market. It is 5 inches high and 
-- 334 inches through, dark green turning bright red. 
The flesh is thick and has a mild, pleasant flavor. Early Giant is the 
earliest large-fruited variety and requires a short season. 
HARRIS’ EARLIEST. The sturdy plant, growing only 10 to 14 inches 
high, permits close planting in rows 134 feet apart, and Peppers ripen 
early in August. The mild fruits are 3 inches long and 2 inches across. 
OSHKOSH. While the fruit is bright canary-yellow at maturity, during, 
growth it is a deep glossy green, smooth, without lobes, 434 inches in 
length by 334 inches in diameter, broad at the base and tapering to an 
abrupt, blunt point; mild and sweet. Very productive. 
RUBY GIANT. This is a cross between the Chinese Giant and the Ruby 
King. The fruits are quite early, averaging 434 inches long and 334 to 
4 inches wide at the thick end, of shape similar to Chinese Giant but far 
more uniform and more handsome. The flesh is very thick with com¬ 
paratively few seeds, and mild. Color is a beautiful deep green when 
young; brilliant ruby-scarlet when ripe. 
SUNNYBROOK. Of the Pimiento type, 3 inches in diameter, 2 inches 
deep, rich, deep scarlet, in clusters of four or five, on bushes 15 inches 
high. Very prolific and exceptionally mild. 
WORLD BEATER, a very large Pepper, not as broad as Chinese Giant 
-! but much longer. Of same season as Ruby King. A 
vigorous grower, sure cropper, and very prolific. The fruit is a beautiful 
scarlet, exceedingly mild; flesh thick and firm, making this variety an 
excellent shipper. Rapidly growing in favor, especially in the South. 
CALIFORNIA WONDER. Here’s a new Pepper of real merit. It’s 
- nearly as large as, and earlier than, 
Chinese Giant, but is blocky or square-ended, just the shape you’ve 
been looking for. 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 deliciously sweet and spicy, 
with no bite to it. The bright, attractive green changes to a brilliant light 
crimson. Try it; it’s a wonder. 
Crimson Giant. Peppers 434 inches long, 334 
across. Flesh is thick, firm and mild. Plants 
are 234 feet high, large and productive. 
Half-Long Hot. Very early and prolific pods, 
434 inches long, 134 inches across at top, are 
tfiick-fleshed, red, and very hot. 
Hungarian. The earliest and hottest of this 
type. The bright yellow, tapering Peppers are 
produced, part pendent and part upright, in 
great numbers on plants of branching habit. 
They are 6 to 7 inches long and slightly 
twisted. A very popular variety. 
Long Red Cayenne. Red hot, slender, pointed 
3-inch pods taper from 34inch to the point. 
Roumanian. An oblong, waxy lemon-yellow 
Pepper about 3 inches across and 5 inches 
long, of rather mild flavor. They come very 
early and are produced mostly upright on 
strong plants. Quite prolific. 
Ruby King. Plants are about 234 feet high, 
vigorous, compact and very productive. The 
fruits are 4 to 5 inches long, of a deep green 
color when young and bright red when ripe. 
The shape is similar to Bull Nose but longer, 
slimmer, far more symmetrical and more 
perfectly formed. Flesh is thick and mild. 
King of the North 
The plants of this choice strain are medium¬ 
sized and branching in habit. They are fully 
covered from top to bottom with very early, 
smooth, shiny, Ruby King type Peppers, 6 to 
7 inches long, with thick flesh and mild, sweet 
flavor. Beginning with dark green, they 
ripen to a deep red. For an early Pepper, the 
meat is very firm and the yield is exception¬ 
ally heavy. 
Talianelle 
An upright-growing, very prolific, smooth, 
shiny bright yellow Pepper about 5 inches 
long and about 134 inches wide at the stem 
end, tapering to a point. The dwarf bushes, 
despite sparse foliage, are literally covered 
with Peppers turning red at maturity, of 
sweet flavor. Used largely for pickling. With¬ 
stands both drought and light frost.
