PEPPERS.— Pfeffer. 
OUNCE TO ONE THOUSAND PLANTS. 
Peppers are indispensable as a seasoning for soups 
and meats. The large varieties are mainly used for 
this purpose and pickling. The mild. sweet varieties, 
like Sweet Mountain, Bull Nose and Ruby King, are 
used for Mangoes, while the small fruited sorts are 
the best for sauces. Sow in hot-beds in March or 
April, or on a warm sheltered border in May, and 
when the season is favorable, transplant in rows 2 
feet apart and 18 inches in the row. in good, rich, 
mellow ground.

uby King Pepper.—Since first introduced 
his magnificent variety has so gained in popular 
favor that it is now recognized as the best and most 
profitable mild red pepper for market or family use. 
Every one who has seen our crops has been enthusi- 
astic in praise of the beautifui plants crowded with 
the large, handsome fruits of a bright ruby red color. 
The peppers ordinarily: grow 44 to 6 inches long by 
34to4}inches through. Added to their beautiful 
color when ripe is the fact that they are 
remarkably mild and pleasant to the taste; in this 
respect unequalled by any other red pepper. We 
cannot too strongly recommend the Ruby King—so 
mild and pleasant in their flavor they can even be 
sliced and eaten with pepper and vinegar, like to- 
matoes or cucumbers, and makes a very pleasant and 
appetizing salad, while for stuffing and pepper hash 
no other variety can equal them—Packets, 5c. a
