RED BLISS TRIUMPH, 

 OR IMPROVED 

 RED BERMUDA. 



THIS variety has rap- 

 idly come to the front, 

 and is now the lead- 

 ing standard seed variety ' 

 shipped to the Southern 

 States. It Is one of the 

 earliest varieties grown 

 and matures quickly. The 

 tubers are round, uniform 

 in shape, eyes slightly de- 

 pressed and of a beautiful 

 bright red color. It is one 

 of the hardiest varieties 

 known, and is not suscep- 

 tible to rot scab or dis- 

 ease. In fact, it can be 



grown on the most heavily manured land without danger of rot. Its great productiveness, handsome color and resistance to 

 disease make it most popular and one especially suited to Southern shippers.

BELL OR BULL NOSE 

 PEPPER. 



5c. and 10c. Oz. 



PEPPERS are indispensable as 

 a seasoning for soups and 

 meats. The large varieties are 

 mainly used for this purpose and 

 pickling. The mild, sweet vari ■ 

 eties, 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 sea- 

 son is favorable transplant in 

 rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in 

 the y^w, in good, rich, mellow 

 Ind. 



JELL, OR BULL NOSE.— Pro- 

 iuces a very large-sized Pepper, 

 ''which is highly esteemed for pick- 

 ling, the skin being thicker than 

 any of the other varieties.

^Mammoth Ruby King 



EXTRA SELECTED STOC K 



SINCE first introduced, t' i^ 

 magnificent variety has •^o 

 gained in popular faM'i 

 that it is now recognized as t h( 

 best and most profitable' nulil 

 Red Pepper for market or fa ii- 

 ily use. Everyone who has 

 seen our crops has been en- 

 thusiastic in praise of the 

 beautiful plants crowded with 

 the large, handsome fruits of 

 a bright ruby red color. The 

 Peppers ordinarily grow il4 to 

 6 Inches long by 3^ to i'A 

 inches through. Added to their 

 beautiful color when ripe is 

 the fact that they are remark- 

 ably mild and pleasant to the 

 taste — in this respect un- 



equaled 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 Tomatoes or Cucumbers, and makes a very 

 pleasant and appetizing salad, while for stuffing and pepper 

 hash no other variety can equal them.
