being earlier in maturing, having smaller plants, and with smaller fruits. 
It is better suited to northern growing conditions than Florida Giant. 
Plant some Certified California Wonder. 
CERTIFIED FLORIDA GIANT —130 Days —Sweet 
This selection out of California Wonder is becoming an important 
variety in the South. It is not as well suited to the North, because of its 
later maturity. The plants are taller and coarser than California Wonder, 
and the leaves are wider. The fruits are borne upright, are generally wider 
and longer than California Wonder, otherwise, they are the same. Use 
California Wonder for the North and Florida Giant for the South. 
CERTIFIED WORLD BEATER or RUBY GIANT—115 Days—Sweet 
Plant is upright and large with medium-green leaves of medium size. 
The fruits are pendant and large, averaging 3p2 x 4 inches in size, with 
very little tapering to the generally 4 points. Crown is usually hollow 
with the outside of the fruit fairly smooth. Color of the fruits is green when 
young, ripening to red. This plant selection in World Beater has exception¬ 
ally thick walls for this variety. The flesh is sweet. Uniformity of size 
and shape of the fruits, freedom from disease, thick flesh and hollow crown 
make this a superior strain. Our Certified World Beater is Worthy of Trial.
