Early Calwonder Pepper 
PEAS—Continued 
213 Giant Stride. (75 days.) (2 feet.) Wilt-resistant. An outstanding 
large podded pea. Outstanding feature of this plant is that it is only 
24 inches tall; it bears a heavy crop of extremely showy pods, 5 to 
514 inches long, having 8 to 9 large peas, dark green, pointed and 
plump. Pkt., 10c; % lb., 25c; lb., 45c; 2 Ibs., 80c; 5 1b8., $1.75. ‘ 
217 MAMMOTH MELTING SUGAR. (72 days.) (4 feet.) Edible pods. 
A flat-podded edible pod sort for home and market garden. Pods 4% 
inches long, stringless, brittle, of splendid quality; used in the manner 
of snap beans. Pkt., 10c; 1% Ib., 30c; 1b., 50c; 2 Ibs., 90c; 5 lbs., $2.00. 
210 DWARF GREY SUGAR. (68 days.) (2 feet.) Edible pod. Very 
popular for home gardening. Vines medium green with pods 2% inches 
long, curved, pointed. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 Ib., 25c; Ib., 45c; 2 1lbs., 80c; 5 lbs., $1.75. 
206 BLACK EYE PEAS. (45 days.) These are a prolific bearer of well 
filled pods; the home gardener should grow them for an extra early 
supply of sweet, tender peas; also can be grown to produce dry peas 
for winter use, Pkt., 10c; % Ib., 25c; lb., 40c; 2 lbs., 75c; 5 lbs., $1.60. 
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. 
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; 14 0oz., 40c; 0z., 70c; 1% lb., $2.50. 
695 California Wonder. (72 days.) Holmes’ strain of this fine va- 
riety is a most dependable yielder. This large, sweet-meated Pepper 
is longer than the Calwonder, three- or four-lobed and excellent for 
stuffing. It is mild and sweet, and may be eaten raw, though it is not 
as palatable as the Holmes Prolific Sweet, although at maturity it 
turns a bright crimson in color. In addition to being a home garden 
Pepper that matures early, California Wonder makes a very profitable 
crop for the market under good growing conditions. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 02., 40c; 0z., 70c; %4 Ib., $2.50. 
708 OSHKOSH. (70 days.) The largest and best yellow 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. Pkt., 10c; 4% 0z., 40c; 0z., 70c; 44 lb., $2.50. 
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; 14 0z., 40c; oz., 70c; 1% lb., $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. 
Pkt., 100; 44 0z., 35c; oz., 6G0c; %4 Ib., $2.25. 
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 
with Holmes’ Prolific Sweet. Pkt., 15c; 14 0z., 45c; oz., 80c; 14 1b., $3.00. 
Ee 
717 World Beater. (65 days.) This variety has been and still is popu- 
lar in many sections. The plants, which are strong and heavy yielders, 
mature a few days ahead of ordinary California Wonder. The plants 
yield a fruit about 5 inches long and 314 inches in diameter that are 
four-lobed and have a thick, mild, sweet flesh that turns from green 
to a bright red when ripe. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 02., 35c; oz., 60c; 14 lb., $2.25, 
713 RUBY KING. (65 days.) Plants are productive, and of dwarf, com- 
pact, upright growth; fruits pendent, often 4 to 6 inches long by 3 to 
4 inches in diameter, tapering, bright ruby-red; flesh is thick, sweet 
and mild. Pkt., 10c; 14 0z., 35c; 0z., GOc; 14 lb., $2.25.
