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 Iong 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 usmg 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 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, shmy, 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 it matures about a week earlier. 
The sturdy plants heavily yield 3 to 4-lobed, 
upright smooth fruits, deep green, ripening 
bright crimson. The flesh ts 
thick and solid and of mild 
flavor. Calwonder packs well 
because the fruits are so unl- 
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
