Peppers 
One ounce will produce 1000 to 1200 plants 
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 34 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 using a commercial fertilizer high 
mM nitrates as it 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 yield 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. 
Calwonder. A uniform strain of California 
Wonder specially fine in shorter season 
localities as rt matures about a week earlier. 
The sturdy plants heavily yield 3 to 4-lobed, 
upright smooth fruits, deep green, ripening 
bright ¢rmson. The flesh is 
thick and solid and of mild 
flavor. Calwonder packs well 
because the fruits are so uni- 
form in size and shape. 
Talianelle. An upright-growing, 
thin-skinned, smooth, shiny 
yellow-green Pepper about 5 
inches long 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- Devin 
ity. Called the Italian frymg ‘Jersey 
Pepper. Withstands both TEES 
drought and light frosts. 
Worldbeater. A very large Pepper, 5 inches Iong by 314 inches across, and maturing 
medium-early. A vigorous grower, sure cropper, and very prolific. The fruit is a 
beautiful scarlet; flesh exceedingly mild, very thick and very firm, making this 
variety a real excellent shipper. Worldbeater produces a very large crop. 
Chinese Giant. The 2-foot, stocky, branch- Harris’ Earliest. The sturdy plant, growing 
ing plants are thickly set with huge, only 10 to 14 inches high, permits close 
blocky, 4-ridged Peppers, 4 to 5 inches planting in rows 1% feet apart, and 









broad at the top and of equal length, 
glossy scarlet, and mild, 
Early Giant. This is valuable for market, 
It is 5 inches high and 3 inches through, 
dark green turning bright red. The flesh 
is thick and has a mild, pleasant flavor. 
Early Giant is the earliest large-fruited 
variety and requires a short season, 
produces the earliest red Peppers. Mild 
fruits are 3 inches long and 2 inches across, 
Hungarian. Earliest and hottest of this type. 
The waxy bright yellow, tapering, slightly 
twisted, 6 to 7-inch Peppers are produced, 
part pendent and part upright, in great 
numbers on branching plants. The color 
turns to orange and then to bright red
