MERRIMAC WONDER PEPPER 
A new sweet pepper has been originated at the University of 
New Hampshire. The Merrimac Wonder Pepper was especially 
developed for earliness and dependability in northern climates 
where other varieties often fail to set fruits. The peppers are 
of good size, mostly four-lobed, blocky in shape and are borne 
upright. The flesh is firm and sweet and the walls are excep-

tionally thick, making it a good shipping variety. Glossy deep 
ereen when growing, Merrimac Wonder becomes deep glowing 
crimson when ripe. It is so prolific that under ordinary growing 
conditions each plant becomes a solid cluster of fruits. 
Merrimac Wonder Pepper is delicious when stuffed and baked 
and equally good when served raw as a vegetable or in salads. 
Because of their firm texture they may be canned for winter use 
either in the green or ripe stage and in the latter case they re- 
tain their bright red color and are useful in flavoring and gar- 
nishing many dishes. The Merrimac Wonder Pepper was given 
an “Award of Merit” by the Massachusetts Horticultural Society 
in 1943 but not until this season has seed become available.
