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-

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.
