Sweet Peppers 
A packet of seed will produce about 75 plants; 1 ounce about 1000 plants. 
Peppers are not dificult 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 continued pro- 
duction. 
696 Early Calwonder Pkt., 10c; Y 02z., 45c; 0z., 80c; % 1b., $2.40 
(63 days.) A week earlier and a more productive strain than California 
Wonder. Fruits blocky and smooth, slightly smaller than California 
Wonder but of equally thick flesh. Plants shorter, fruits are set earlier 
an more prolific; very attractive market type and excellent for home 
garden. 
695 California Wonder Pkt., 10c; Y2 oz., 45c; oz., 80c; %4 Ib., $2.40 
(72 days.) This fine variety is a most dependable yielder. This large, 
sweet-meated Pepper is longer than the Calwonder, 3- to 4-lobed and 
excellent for stufing. 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. 
708 Oshkosh Pkt., 10c; ¥% oz., 45c; 02., 80c; % Ilb., $2.40 
(70 days.) The largest and best yellow pepper. Before maturing it is 
of a deep green color; large, smooth, best shape for stufing. When ripe 
the color is a deep orange-yellow. Flesh exceptionally thick. The sweet- 
est Pepper grown. We highly recommend this variety for market or 
home use where smooth, firm, thick flesh and high quality are more de- 
sired than earliness. Much superior to Golden Queen. 
704 King of the North Pkt., 10c; Y 0z., 45c; 02z., 80c; % lb., $2.40 
(60 days.) Early, Prolific, Large, Thick-Flesh Fruit. Makes a tremen- 
dous 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. 
706 Large Bell or Bull Nose PAt., 10c; 1% 0z., 40c; 02., 75c; %4 Ib., $2.20 
(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 Pkt., 15c; % 0z., 45c; 0z., 80c; %4 Ib., $2.85 
(70 days.) A very popular and dependable Pepper. Earlier than Cali- 
fornia 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. 
717 World Beater (Rutgers Strain) 
Pkt., 10c; % 0z., 40c; 0z., 75c; % I1b., $2.20 
(65 days.) This variety has been and still is popular in many sections. 
The plants, which are strong and heavy yielders, mature several days 
earlier than the older type and bear much better crops. The plants yield 
a fruit about 5 inches long and 3'4 inches in diameter that are 4-lobed 
and have a thick, mild, sweet flesh that turns from green to a bright 
red when ripe.
