pickles, for which purpose the small Cayenne, 

 Chili and Cranberry varieties are grown. For 

 stuffing, the favorite sorts are the large sweet 

 peppers, Sweet Mountain and Ruby King. 

 These peppers are not at all similar to the pep- 

 per-berries of commerce, which belong to other 

 families. 



HUSK TOMATO. 



The husk tomato is an herb which produces a 

 kind of papery skin containing a yellowish, 

 glutinous berry. It is often spoken of as the 

 strawberry tomato. It is very easy of culti- 

 vation on the tomato plan, although some 

 varieties, notably the Cape Gooseberry, do not 

 ripen well in the far North; the Dwarf Cape 

 Gooseberry, however, does well as far north as 

 Ontario. The soft, sweetish fruits may be eaten 

 raw or cooked and are often used for preserves 

 and pickles. There are several native species, 

 some of which are called Ground Cherry.
