Pride of the Market Pepper is of the California Wonder type but 
10 to 12 days earlier. Its earliness and productiveness warrant 
it first place among the heavy-meated varieties. The plants are 
sturdy, upright and of medium size with dark green, abundant 
foliage and broad leaves that well protect the pods. There is 
possibly a smaller percentage of four lobe peppers than in the 
older California Wonder types. 
The fruits are borne upright, of medium width and averaging 
3 to 372 inches in length. The color when young is an intense 
dark green, changing to a beautiful scarlet when ripe. The 
walls are very thick and the flesh entirely sweet, making it 
outstanding. Also excellent as an early red pepper where red 
peppers are in demand. As Pride of the Market is early in matur¬ 
ing with medium plants, it is especially suited to Northern grow¬ 
ing conditions. 
To any grower who wants a very early, thick fleshed, smooth, 
solid pepper, 90% blight-resistant, desirable for local, or hauling 
to distant markets, we recommend Pride of the Market.
