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 3/g 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. Avoid using a commercial fertilizer high 
in nitrates as it tends to make this later and go to foliage rather than fruit. 
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, the fruits 
are very large, the yield is tremendously 
heavy. Sixteen of these Peppers will cover 
the top of a standard bushel basket. 
Windsor A. A new early Pepper which is as 
early as King of the North. It is best 
described as a very thick-fleshed Ruby 
King. The pendent fruits 
are inches across at the 
top and 43^2 to 5 inches long. 
The plants are of medium 
height, sturdy, and very pro¬ 
lific, bearing a great n 
ber of smooth, three-k 
fruits with thick walls, 
flesh is sweet. Can pick ] 
pers in 57 days from 
out plants. Introduced 
1935 by Conn. Agric. 1 
Sta. and given All-Ame 
Award of Merit for 1937. 
strain is not yet fully f 
but has very high value. 
Worldbeater. A very large Pepper, 5 inches long by 3^ 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 
variety a real excellent shipper. Worldbeater produces a very large crop. 
Chinese Giant. The 2-foot, stocky, branch¬ 
ing plants are thickly set with huge, 
blocky, 4-ridged Peppers, 4 to 5 inches 
broad at the top and of equal length, 
glossy scarlet, and mild. 
Early Giant. This is valuable for market. 
It is 5 inches high and 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.
