Morse's Market 
70 days. We consider this 
to be the best variety of 
peas in our 1936 trial ground. 
Pods are very large, 5 to 6% 
inches long, dark green and 
pointed. Produces abun¬ 
dantly even to the tip and 
branches. We recommend 
this for late and high alti¬ 
tude planting as it will stand 
frost better than most other 
varieties. Vines are robust, 
24 to 30 inches tall.

HOW TO GROW PEPPER 
(The number of days given is the time from setting of plants until 
picking of marketable green peppers. Plants set during the latter part 
of May.) 
One ounce of seed will prodiJce about 3,000 to 4,000 plants if grow¬ 
ing conditions are good. Allow some for safety. Sow the seed to a 
depth of about % inch in hotbed 8 to 10 weeks before time to trans¬ 
plant in open field. Pepper requires more heat than tomato and we 
have found it advisable to soak the seed for a few hours in warm 
water. Then spread between damp cloths kept in a warm place until 
sprouts begin to appear. Plant, without delay. Spray with solution 
of Semesan to guard against damping off. 
Set out the plants after the groupd is thoroughly warm; in this 
latitude during the latter parP'df May. Rows may be 2 to 3 feet apart 
and the plants 15 to 20 inches in the row depending on the variety. 
See page 4 for construction of hotbeds. 
See page 78, article on “How to Grow Tomatoes” as this will give 
additional information about plant growing. 
rMID DCPPCD cccn RePPer is one of our special items, and we give 
tJUK rtrrtK ottU it particular attention. Our stock seeds are saved 
from individual plants, and by line breeding, we 
have developed more uniform plants and fruits than is usual. We wish 
to call particular attention to California Wonder and World Beater. 
California Wonder, because of its extremely thick walls, is the best 
variety to grow for shipping. Southern planters will be well pleased 
with our- stock of Worldbeater. We recommend varieties as follows: 
early mangoes, Harris Early Giant and Ruby King; main crop. World- 
beater and California Wonder; of the hot or pungent peppers use 
A.naheim Chili; for drying or canning; Long Thick Red instead of 
ordinary Cayenne. In one large trial in which nearly all pepper seed 
growers had entries, our stock of California Wonder, World Beater 
and Harris Early Giant were outstanding in respect to uniformity of 
fruit and thickness of wall. Try our 1938 “'All America” winner pepper
