PEPPER (Continued) 

Kilgore’s Blight Resistant World Beater Pepper 
BLIGHT RESISTANT WORLD BEATER. (70 days.) This 
strain of World Beater was developed by making individual 
plant selections in Manatee County, Fla., for many years, to 
secure a strain of true, heavy yielding World Beater type that 
would resist bacterial blight, and would not drop its leaves 
during rainy weather or poor growing conditions when other 
strains of World Beater, and other varieties, would not survive 
or would not produce a heavy crop of fruits. This is a very su- 
perior, disease-resistant strain of World Beater which is espe- 
cially well adapted for a fall crop in Florida. It stands poor 
growing conditions better than any other strain of World Beat- 
er and still produces an enormous crop, when other strains are 
practically a complete failure, especially in late fall and during 
rainy weather. This is one of the most valuable peppers we have 
ever developed and introduced to Florida growers. When 
other varieties fail, due to leaf drop, this disease-resistant strain 
continues to grow and produce a profitable crop. The plants 
are rather low growing, vigorous, and exceedingly productive, 
and extremely early. Fruits are about 414 inches long and 
3% inches in diameter, broad at the blossom-end, slightly 
elongated, usually with four lobes. Fruits are large, fairly 
thick-meated and of very attractive market appearance. Ex- 
tremely early, and an enormous yielder and sure cropper.

EARLY CALWONDER. (65 days.) An early maturing 
strain of California Wonder, maturing 7 to 10 days ahead of 
other strains of this type, and according to our Florida tests 
this strain holds up and produces large size fruits over a long 
season. The plant is not as tall and erect in growth as regular 
California Wonder, but is more dwarf and spreading, although 
very vigorous and prolific. The fruits are three and four-lobed 
and very attractive in appearance, being smooth, dark green in 
color, uniform and very thick meated. This extra early strain 
should be planted by every grower interested in a thick-meated 
type of pepper. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; %4 Ib. $1.25; 1 Ib. $4.50 
NEAPOLITAN (Italian). (60 days.) This is an extreme- 
ly early, medium large, prolific variety, growing in popularity 
on some northern markets where it is in great demand among 
Italian people. The plant is wonderfully productive, carrying 
as many as forty fruits on a single plant. The fruits are up- 
right in growth, averaging 4 inches long and 2 inches in diam- 
eter, three-lobed, yellowish green in color, becoming bright red 
when ripe. The flesh is extremely mild and sweet.

KILGORE’S IMPROVED RUBY GIANT. (70 days.) 
This improved strain of Ruby Giant which we have developed 
as the result of many years of individual plant selection makes 
an exceedingly strong, vigorous, upright growing plant, it being 
more disease resistant and withstanding poor growing con- 
ditions, yet producing a good crop, better than other varieties 
of this type. Dark green fruits are somewhat similar to World 
Beater in shape, being large, mostly four-lobed, slightly taper- 
ing, and very attractive in appearance. The thick flesh is ex- 
ceedingly sweet, mild, and of excellent quality. Our strain 
of this variety is extremely productive and bears over a long 
period, producing very large fancy fruits, uniformly true to 
type. No better strain of this popular variety can be found 
anywhere for Florida growing conditions. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; 44 Ib. $1.15; 1 Ib. $4.00 
IMPROVED CALIFORNIA WONDER. (75 days.) An 
outstanding, medium late variety, gaining in importance. Plant 
is vigorous, upright, prolific. The thick meated, smooth, large, 
heavy fruits average about four inches in length and about the 
same in diameter. We have improved this variety by making 
our strain more productive and longer bearing than most oth- 
ers. This is an excellent shipping type, holding up well in 
transit and on the market, and is in great demand for hauling 
by trucks because of its good holding-up qualities. Solid thick 
walls and very sweet and mild. Blocky in shape. Color an at- 
tractive, glossy dark green. On poor soil, devoid of plant food 
and moisture, fruits of this variety after the first harvest may 
tend to “button” or be of small size. For best results, and to 
produce large, fancy fruits over a long season, this variety re- 
quires heavier fertilization and an ample and continuous soil 
moisture supply. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; 44 Ib. $1.15; 1 lb. $4.00 
ANAHEIM CHILI (Hot). (80 days.) A popular, rather 
long, hot, pungent variety, but not as hot as the small fruited 
Long Red Cayenne. The fruits are very meaty, measuring 6 
to 7 inches in length and 1 to 1% inches in diameter at stem 
end, and are green, ripening to a bright red. Often dried for 
winter use. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 45c; 4 lb. $1.40; 1 Ib. $5.00 
HUNGARIAN YELLOW WAX (Hot). (60 days.) A very 
early, hot sort, valuable for canners. Plants are rather dwarf 
in growth, and exceedingly prolific. Fruits pendant, medium 
slender, long, tapering, smooth and very hot or pungent. Color 
waxy yellow, changing to bright crimson at maturity. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 50c; %4 Ib. $1.50; 1 Ib. $5.50 
LONG RED CAYENNE OR FINGER (Hot). (70 days.) 
This favorite hot variety produces large and productive plants. 
Fruit, 4 to 5 inches long, % inch thick, slender, tapering, 
pendant, very hot or pungent, deep green in color, ripening 
to a brilliant red. Used largely for canning and in pickles.
