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% 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 usmg a commercial fertilizer high 
in nitrates as 1t 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 vield 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 tremendous. 
Windsor A. As early as"King of the North it 
resembles a very thick-fleshed Ruby King. 
The pendent fruits are 214 inches across at 
the top and 4% to 5 inches Iong. The plants 
are of medium height, sturdy, and very pro- 
lific, bearing a great num- 
ber of smooth, three-lobed 
fruits with thick walls. The 
flesh is sweet. Can pick in 57 
days from setting plants. 
Talianelle. An upright-growing, 
thin-skinned, smooth, shiny 
yellow-green Pepper about 5 
inches Iong and 2 inches across 
at the stem end, tapering to a 
point. The very prolific dwarf 
bushes, despite sparse foliage 
are literally covered with sweet 
Peppers turning red at matur-
