THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 



Chinese Giant, Magnum Dulce, and Sweet 

 Spanish Giant are the best of the large sweet pep- 

 pers, the latter being a long pepper, from two to 

 three inches wide and six to eight long ; this variety 

 is rather more shapely for stuffed mangoes than 

 the bull-nosed varieties. The large squat peppers 

 are excellent for table use, being prepared in vari- 

 ous ways. 



Several of the hot and pickle varieties of peppers 

 are both useful and ornamental, the Celestial or 

 Christmas variety being especially ornamental. 

 These may be grown in pots on the kitchen win- 

 dow and the fruit enjoyed throughout the winter. 

 They are an attractive addition to pickled cauli- 

 flowers, onions, and the like. 



The Tabasco is an especially beautiful pepper, 

 bearing its fruit in sprays of brightest red, which 

 are extremely fiery and pungent, and the seeds may 

 be used for making pepper vinegar instead of 

 the cayenne.
