Peppers 
One ounce will produce 1000 to 1200 plants 
California Wonder XXX Strain. This is a remarkable de luxe strain. The large, 
very solid, exceptionally thick-walled, bright green Peppers are blocky in form, 
square-ended, 4-nosed and often grow as much as 5 inches long by 4 inches across. 
These are the heaviest we have ever seen, with walls over % inch thick. The 
flesh is crisp, juicy and very mild. The vigorous plants bear a very heavy yield 
when grown on well-drained lean soils. 
Jersey Wonder. An outstanding new strain, of the California Wonder type, but 
maturing a greater yield of Peppers 6 days earlier than that variety. The plants 
are not as large or strong and the Peppers themselves are a little smaller but the 
earliness and greater yield more than offset this. Of characteristic California 
Wonder shape, the deep green fruits turning bright crimson, are blocky and 
smooth and have just as heavy, thick firm flesh of mild sweet flavor. 
King of the North. The medium-sized and branching plants are 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 dark green, they ripen 
to a deep red. For a short-season 
Pepper, fruits are very large, the 
yield is tremendously heavy. Six¬ 
teen of these Peppers will cover 
the top of a standard bushel basket. 
Worldbeater. A very large Pep¬ 
per, 5 inches long by 33^ inches 
across, and maturing medium- 
early. A vigorous grower, sure 
cropper, and very prolific. The 
fruit is a beautiful scarlet; flesh 
exceedingly mild, very thick 
and very firm, making this va¬ 
riety a real excellent shipper. 
Worldbeater produces a very 
large crop.
