Schell’s Quality. First on the Market. 
All Others 
It is the favorite early Pepper of gardeners everywhere. 
We have never seen any other Pepper that can compare 
with it in the least degree in the remarkable way it yields. 
It is very early and all the Peppers on the plant color up evenly; 
then the plants continue to yield until stopped by frost or the 
grower. A beautiful, attractive shape, which makes it sell on 
sight, while its superior quality, sweet as an apple, backs up its 
attractive appearance. It is the most prolific Pepper ever 
grown in this locality. Color green turning to a beautiful scarlet 
when ripe, it has all the qualities required for the most profitable 
crop, namely, size, yield, quality, quick to color. No other 
variety can claim all these qualities. Picking the Peppers as 
early and as often as possible will induce a heavier yield. Pkt.

HOW TO 
PEPPERS “23 
PEPPERS 
Start the seed in hotbeds, greenhouse, or in 
boxes indoors in March or April. When the 
plants are about 2 inches high, transplant in 
other boxes, setting them 2 inches apart. 
Then, when the weather is settled, the soil 
warm, and all danger of freezing over, set the 
plants out, after first preparing the soil well, 
working in well-rotted manure or some good 
fertilizer. For the home- garden set plants a 
foot apart in the rows and have rows a foot 
apart. For large plantings make rows 2 feet 
apart. Do not grow sharp and sweet Peppers 
together; they will mix. One ounce will pro- 
duce 1,000 plants; about 10,000 plants to an 
acre. Seed can be sown outdoors in April 
or May. 
Schell’s California Wonder 
The walls of flesh or meat of it are very thick

rich crimson. It isasweet Pepper. Very smooth 
and firm, the lobes being almost imperceptible.
