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 34 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 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 
Jong, 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 1s tremendous. 
Calwonder. A uniform strain of California 
Wonder, specially fme in shorter season 
localities as it matures about a week earlier. 
The sturdy plants heavily yield 3 to 4-Iobed, 
upright smooth fruits, deep green, ripening 
bright crimson. The flesh 1s 
thick and solid and of mild 
flavor. Calwonder packs well 
because the fruits are so uni- 
form in size and shape. 
World Wonder. A very heavy 
yielding Worldbeater which, 
throughout the season, main- 
tains the large size of the first 
fruits formed, 70 days after 
setting out the plants. The 
flesh is not as thick as Cali- 
fornia Wonder and It is more 
wilt-resistant. In other re- 
spects it resembles a_con- 
tinuously heavy-yielding 
Worldbeater. 
Worldbeater, Rutgers No. 13. A very large Pepper, 5 inches long by 31% inches 
across, and maturing medium-early. A vigorous grower, sure cropper, and pro- 
duces a very large crop. The fruit is a beautiful scarlet: flesh exceedingly mild, 
very thick, and very firm, making this variety a really excellent shipper.
