CALIFORNIA 
WONDER PEPPER 
Recommended for the market grower as 
well as the home gardener. A prolific 
grower, each fruit is about 4 inches long 
by 3% inches wide. For cooking stuffed, 
the California Wonder is always a good 
choice. When chopped, its sweet flavor 
makes it an excellent addition to salads, 
75 days: 
30 
LITTLE MARVEL 
PEA 
One of the heavier yielding peas. Vines 
are about 18 inches high. The 3 inch pods 
bear 7 or 8 large peas. The pods are 
square ended, nearly rounded in diam- 
eter and tightly packed. They are very 
tender and light green in color. A good 
choice for freezing. 62 days. 
EARLY SCARLET 
GLOBE RADISH 
Bright red skinned, white fleshed with 
a slightly elongated globe shape. De- 
licious and consistently good. It grows 
to perfection in rich, loose prepared soil. 
Radish growth should be quick to get 
that desirable tasty crispness. Radishes 
left in the ground too long become bitter 
and pithy. Matures in 24 days.
