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 ¥g 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 
in 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 mm shorter season 
localities as 1t matures about a week earlier. 
The sturdy plants heavily yield 3 to 4-lobed, 
upright smooth fruits, deep green, ripening 
bright crimson. The flesh is 
thick and solid and of mild 
flavor. Calwonder packs well 
because the fruits are so unt- 
form in size and shape. 
Talianelle. An upright-growig, 
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- Dewese 
ity. Called the Italian frymg Jersey 
Pepper. Withstands both GES: 
drought and light frosts. 
Worldbeater. A very large Pepper, 5 inches Iong by 313 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. 
Half-Long Hot. This is very early with pro- Harris’ Earliest. The sturdy plant, growing 
liftc plants and a large yield of thick fleshed only 10 to 14 inches high, permits close 
pods which are 414 inches long and 1144 planting in rows 1} feet apart, and 
inches across at the top. They are red and produces the earliest red Peppers. Mild 
the flavor is very hot. fruits are 3 inches long and 2 inches across,

fruits are round, smooth, solid and very twisted, 6 to 7-inch Peppers are produced,
