Sweet Peppers — 
A packet of seed will produce about 75 plants; 1 ounce about 1000 plants. : 
Peppers are not difficult to grow. Their early culture is similar to that 
of tomatoes. After all danger of frost is past, late in May or early June, 
in this latitude, set your peppers in the garden, spacing the plants 2 by 
3 feet. Keep the peppers picked before they turn red to asSure con-— 
tinued production. i 
696 Early Calwonder. (63 days.) A week earlier and a more pro- 
ductive strain than California Wonder. Fruits blocky and smooth, 
slightly smaller than California Wonder but of equally thick flesh. 
Plants shorter, fruits are set earlier and more prolific; very attractive 
market type and excellent for home garden. 
Pkt., 10c; 1%4 oz., 40c; 0z., 70c; %4 I1b., $2.50. 
695 California Wonder. (72 days.) Here is a new pepper of real 
merit. It is medium early; square-ended. It will sit upright and is 
ideal to stuff and bake, or to serve whole with salad. Its walls are _ 
exceptionally thick, heavier and firmer than any other sort, and the ~ 
flesh is deliciously sweet and spicy, with no bite to it. The deep, — 
attractive green changes to a brilliant crimson. Try it; it’s a wonder. 
Pkt., 10c; 1% 0z., 40c; 0z., 70c; 14 1b., $2.50. 
708 OSHKOSH. (70 days.) The largest and bestyellow pepper. Before 
maturing it is of a deep green color; large, smooth, best shape for 
stuffing. When ripe the color is a deep orange-yellow. Flesh excep- 
tionally thick. The sweetest pepper grown. We highly recommend this 
pepper for market or home use where smooth, firm, thick flesh and | 
high quality are more desired than earliness. Much superior to Golden — 
Queen. Crop failed. ‘ a 
704 King of the North. (60 days.) Early, Prolific, Large, Thick- 
Fleshed Fruit. Makes a tremendous yield of large, sweet peppers. The — 
plants are medium size, covered with large fruit similar in shape to 
Ruby King; but considerably earlier; rather long, narrow, tapering, — 
flesh is thick, mild and sweet; dark green turning to rich deep red 
when ripe. If you have not grown King of the North pepper be sure 
to plant it this season. Pkt., 10c; 1% 0z., 40c; 0z., 70c; 4% Ib-, $2.50. — 
706 LARGE BELL or BULL NOSE. (55 days.) One of the earliest — 
sorts. Bright red when ripe, deep green when young; flesh fairly thick; © 
sweet. The plant is medium sized, fairly upright, produces a large 
number of peppers which are blunt-ended and of good Size. :

702 Holmes’ Prolific Sweet. (70 days.) A very popular and de- ~ 
pendable pepper. Earlier than California Wonder, about the same 
thickness of flesh. Gives heavy yields of large, beautiful red fruits  _ 
and holds its size throughout the season. You will have no regrets —
