675 PENNWONDER. The Finest Early Pepper. 
68 days. For thick-fleshed fruit and tremendous crops in short season 
areas, Pennwonder is the best early pepper we know. Developed at Penn 
State College, it is very early, and has good size, an attractive blocky 
or tapered shape, and extra-thick walls. Dark green turning to rich red 
when ripe, the crisp flesh is always sweet and mild. They are delicious 
for slicing, relish or stuffing. The sturdy dwarf plants set heavily under 
almost any conditions, and they produce continually from early until 
frost. If you have had difficulty growing good peppers, plant Penn- 
wonder. Pkt. 20c; 14 Oz. 60c; Oz. $1.10; 14 Lb. $2.75.

USE NO-DAMP-OFF SPHAGNUM MOSS TO START PEPPER SEEDS 
Peppers should be started early indoors and the new milled sphagnum moss practically 
assures success if the seed bed is kept warm. Use it alone or asa }4 in. layer on top of your 
regular soil. See No-Damp-Off Sphagnum Moss on page 81. 
Pepper plants should be set out after frost danger is past, about 18 in, apart in 3 ft. rows. 
(Days to maturity given below are from the time the plants are set out.) 
679 VINEDALE. Good Sized Fruit Ready Very Early. 
62 days. One of the easiest peppers to grow that we have ever seen, Vinedale is extra early, 
highly prolific and most dependable. Adapted for northern sections and for early crops else- 
where, it was developed by Dr. O. J. Robb of Vineland Station, Ontario, Canada. 
The dwarf husky vines are literally loaded with brilliant scarlet fruit of fine quality. The 
peppers are medium-sized, rather tapered or pointed, and they are remarkably thick-fleshed 
for such an early type. For an abundance of early red peppers, grow Vinedale. 
A packet of seed will produce about 75 plants; 
an ounce about 1000 plants.
