California Wonder 
CALIFORNIA WONDER PEPPER. Jlced^aU- 
fornia Wonder Pepper in 1927, announcing 
it as the best large sweet pepper ever pro¬ 
duced. The reception given this remark¬ 
able variety even exceeded our expectations. 
It has literally swept the country and is 
now the leading variety used by large ship¬ 
pers of winter vegetables on the West coast 
of Mexico. It is the best large fruited pep¬ 
per in existence, very smooth, heavy, free 
from creases and wrinkles. Meat thick, ten¬ 
der, and of finest flavor; it is fast replac¬ 
ing other varieties in the home garden on 
account of its excellent quality, and with 
the shippers on account of its fine appear¬ 
ance after a long journey to distant markets. 
Peppers are about five inches in length and 
four in width, being blocky in shape. The 
walls are very thick and the color a deep, 
rich and glossy green. Buy your seed in 
Germain’s Sealed Containers, and be sure of 
the best. Pkt. 10c; oz. 60c; y lb. $2.00; 1 lb. 
$ 6 . 00 .
