PEPPERS THE LARGE MILD KINDS OR 

 "MANGOES" 



VX7TTHIN 150 days from date seeds are sown Early 

 Neapolitan (shown to left) produces handsome crops 

 of large, elongated, four-lobed fruits averaging four inches 

 long by two and a half inches in diameter at the widest 

 part. This is the earliest and sweetest of the large pep- 

 pers suitable for stuffing. It is so prolific that frequently 

 the branches break under the loads of fruits. 



Bell or Bull Nose is a slightly later sort forming more 

 blocky fruits and it is apt to be a little more pungent. 

 However, it is adaptable to the widest range of soils and 

 climates and for this reason is most generally grown. 



Chinese Giant (shown to right) is the largest and latest 

 of the mangoes. It does not reach maturity north of 

 Ohio, but will yield fair crops of exceptionally large green 

 fruits where seeds are started before middle of April. 



Golden Queen is a large yellow sort, mild, of same season 

 of maturity as Bell or Bull Nose, but not as prolific.
