Peppers 
PFEFFER (Ger.) FEPERONE (It.) 
One ounce will produce iooo to 2000 plants. 
Peppers are not difficult to grow. Their early culture is similar to that 
of tomatoes. After all danger of frost is past, late in May or early June, 
in this latitude, set your Peppers in the garden, spacing the plants 2 by 
3 feet. Keep the Peppers picked before they turn red to assure con¬ 
tinued production. 
California Wonder. Here is a new Pepper of real merit. It is medium 
early; square-ended. It will sit upright and is ideal to stuff and bake, 
or to serve whole with salad. Its walls are exceptionally thick, heavier 
and firmer than any other sort, and the flesh is deliciously sweet and 
spicy, with no bite to it. The deep attractive green changes to a bril¬ 
liant crimson. Try it; it’s a wonder. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 30c; oz., 50c; (4 lh., $1.50; lb., $5.00. 
OSHKOSH. The largest and best yellow Pepper. Before maturing it is 
of a deep green color; large, smooth, best shape for stuffing. When 
ripe the color is a deep orange-yellow. Flesh exceptionally thick. 
The sweetest Pepper grown. We highly recommend this Pepper for 
market or home use where smooth, firm, thick flesh and high quality 
are more desired than earliness. Much superior to Golden Queen. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 30c; oz., 55c; (4 lb., $1.60; lb., $5.50. 
King of the North . Early, Prolific, Large, Thick-Fleshed Fruit. Makes

size, covered with large fruit similar in shape to Ruby King; but con¬ 
siderably earlier; rather long, narrow, tapering, flesh is thick, mild and 
sweet; dark green turning to rich deep red when ripe. If you have not 
grown King of the North Pepper be sure to plant it this season.
