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 38 inch thick. The 
flesh 1s crisp, juicy and very mild. The vigorous plants bear a very heavy yield 
when grown on well-dramed lean soils. Avoid using 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 and the yield is tremendous. 







Calwonder. A uniform strain of California ¢ 
Wonder, specially fme m 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 is 
thick and solid and of mild 
flavor. Calwonder packs well 
because the fruits are so unt- 
form in size and shape. 
Harris’ Earliest. This fie extra 
early variety ripens its nice 
fruit before any other kind. 
The dwarf plants, about 14 
inches high, permit planting 
in rows 11% feet apart. They 
are amazingly prolific and the 
Peppers, 3 inches long by 2 
inches across, turn bright red 
quickly. It is profitable for 
short season areas where the 
other varieties will not ripen. 
Worldbeater, Rutgers No. 13. A very large Pepper, 5 inches long by 3% inches 
across, and maturing medium-early. A vigorous grower, sure cropper, and pro- 
duces a very large crop. The fruit ts a beautiful scarlet; flesh exceedingly mild, 
very thick, and very firm, making this variety a really excellent shipper.
