  163. 
  The 
  largest, 
  earliest 
  maturing 
  and 
  most 
  productive 
  

   very 
  large 
  sweet 
  pepper. 
  The 
  plant 
  is 
  vigorous 
  and 
  

   upright, 
  growing 
  larger 
  than 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  Chinese 
  Giant 
  

   and 
  produces 
  much 
  more 
  Iruit. 
  The 
  fruits 
  ripen 
  earlier 
  

   than 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  very 
  large 
  sorts 
  on 
  the 
  market, 
  and 
  aver- 
  

   age 
  heavier, 
  as 
  the 
  flesh 
  is 
  unusually 
  thick. 
  Color 
  deep 
  

   crimson 
  when 
  matured; 
  flavor 
  very 
  mild. 
  We 
  consider 
  

   this 
  without 
  a 
  doubt 
  the 
  most 
  desirable 
  very 
  large 
  pepper 
  

   yet 
  introduced.

   22(i. 
  Chinese 
  Giant 
  is 
  very 
  productive 
  for 
  so 
  large 
  a 
  pepper, 
  while 
  its 
  

   enormous 
  size 
  and 
  magnificent 
  appearance 
  make 
  it 
  sell 
  most 
  readily. 
  The 
  

   plants 
  are 
  vigorous 
  in 
  growth 
  but 
  of 
  stocky 
  habit, 
  seldom 
  more 
  than 
  two 
  

   feet 
  in 
  height. 
  They 
  are 
  well 
  branched 
  and 
  thickly 
  set 
  with 
  enormous 
  fruits. 
  

   Frequently 
  half 
  a 
  dozen 
  peppers 
  will 
  touch 
  each 
  other, 
  as 
  if 
  on 
  a 
  single 
  

   bunch. 
  The 
  strong 
  growth 
  of 
  plants 
  enables 
  them 
  to 
  mature 
  the 
  gigantic 
  

   fruits 
  only 
  slightly 
  later 
  than 
  our 
  well-known 
  Ruby 
  King. 
  

  

  Chinese 
  Giant 
  produces 
  uniformly 
  monstrous 
  peppers 
  of 
  thick 
  blocky 
  form 
  

   and 
  most 
  brilliant 
  glossy 
  scarlet. 
  They 
  grow 
  4 
  to 
  5 
  inches 
  broad 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  

   and 
  are 
  of 
  equal 
  length, 
  divided 
  into 
  four 
  or 
  more 
  large 
  ridges; 
  when 
  ripe 
  they 
  

   are 
  indented 
  at 
  the 
  blossom 
  end. 
  The 
  first 
  fruits 
  set 
  in 
  a 
  cluster 
  of 
  three 
  to 
  

   five 
  at 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  plant, 
  and 
  are 
  generally 
  longer 
  than 
  those 
  setting 
  later 
  on 
  

   the 
  upper 
  branches, 
  although 
  the 
  latter 
  are 
  equally 
  as 
  broad. 
  All 
  are 
  uni- 
  

   formly 
  of 
  most 
  "enormous" 
  size. 
  The 
  flesh 
  is 
  extremely 
  mild 
  — 
  as 
  sweet 
  as 
  

   an 
  apple 
  — 
  and 
  unusually 
  thick. 
  It 
  makes 
  an 
  excellent 
  salad 
  sliced 
  and 
  served 
  

   like 
  tomatoes. 
  The 
  true 
  seed 
  of 
  a 
  selected 
  strain 
  — 
  producing 
  uniformly 
  large 
  

   fruits 
  — 
  will 
  always 
  be 
  high 
  in 
  price. 
  Beware 
  of 
  "cheap" 
  seed.

  Large 
  "Neapolitan" 
  Pepper 
  

  

  The 
  Earliest 
  of 
  All 
  Large 
  Mild 
  Peppers 
  

  

  233. 
  From 
  seed 
  started 
  February 
  15th 
  and 
  plants 
  set 
  out 
  

   May 
  20th, 
  the 
  first 
  peppers 
  were 
  picked 
  for 
  market 
  on 
  June 
  

   24th. 
  These 
  first 
  fruits 
  measured 
  four 
  inches 
  long 
  and 
  four 
  

   and 
  a-half 
  inches 
  in 
  circumference; 
  the 
  later 
  fruits 
  are 
  

   slightly 
  larger 
  — 
  see 
  illustration 
  from 
  a 
  photograph. 
  No 
  other 
  

   large 
  pepper 
  develops 
  so 
  quickly 
  — 
  by 
  ten 
  days 
  to 
  two 
  weeks. 
  

  

  The 
  strong, 
  vigorous 
  plants 
  grow 
  2 
  feet 
  high 
  by 
  18 
  inches 
  

   across; 
  they 
  are 
  completely 
  laden 
  with 
  large, 
  handsome 
  fruits, 
  

   and 
  bear 
  contmuously 
  until 
  frost. 
  Single 
  plants 
  carry 
  from 
  

   35 
  to 
  50 
  marketable 
  fruits 
  at 
  one 
  time. 
  The 
  peppers 
  grow 
  up- 
  

   right 
  until 
  they 
  become 
  so 
  heavy 
  that 
  their 
  own 
  weight 
  turns 
  

   thern 
  down. 
  The 
  skin 
  and 
  flesh 
  are 
  bright 
  red; 
  they 
  are 
  thick 
  

   meated, 
  sweet 
  and 
  "mild 
  as 
  an 
  apple;" 
  they 
  carry 
  well 
  and 
  

   keep 
  m 
  prime 
  condition 
  a 
  long 
  time. 
  So 
  unusually 
  productive 
  

   IS 
  this 
  variety 
  that 
  twelve 
  plants 
  will 
  furnish 
  an 
  ample 
  supply
