on Bolgiano's Wonderful New Early 



"Scarlet Mammoth" Pepper 



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 fruit. The 

 fruits ripen earlier than any of the very large sorts on the market, and 

 average 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. Pkt. 10c. Y 2 Oz.

World Beater 



A Grand New Variety 



396. It is a cross between Chinese Giant and Ruby King, having 

 the shape of the Ruby King, except that it is broader at the pointed 

 end and almost the size of the Chinese Giant. It is far more prolific 

 than Chinese Giant, some plants producing as high as twenty-four 

 marketable Peppers, and it is fully as early as Ruby King. It is exceed- 

 ingly mild and can be sliced and eaten raw without any fear of burning. 

 Color of fruit green at first, turning to a beautiful shade of scarlet. 

 The flesh is thick, which enables it to hold up a long time and makes it 

 an excellent shipper. Pkts. 5c and 10c. Yi Oz. 20c. Oz. 40c. 2 Ozs.

Early Prolific 

 Neapolitan Peppers 



Bolgiano's New Early "Scarlet Mammoth" Peppers 



"Chinese Giant" Peppers 



Double the Size of Ruby King Peppers, One of the Largest Mild Red Peppers 

 226. 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 tham 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 uniformly 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. Pkt. 10c. J-2 Oz. 20c. Oz. 40c. M Lb.

Fine Results From Bolgiano's Ruby King 

 On October 28, 1918, Carter # Son, of Burlington Co, N. J., wrote: "We had fine 

 results with the Ruby King Pepper Seed thai we purchased from you. We tried seeds from 

 several other firms, but were disappointed, for they were very poor. We §rew several thousand 

 plants this year of all kinds, and at the time we bought your seed we thought it a little high, 

 but find that it was the cheapest in the long run. As to weather conditions, we had a dry spell 

 for about six weeks which set the plants back, but Ihey have made up for lost lime and we are 

 ivell pleased with the results."

New Early Large "Neapolitan" Pepper 



The Earliest of All Large Mild Peppers 



233. From seed started February 15, and plants set out May 20, the 

 first Peppers were picked for market on June 24. These first fruits meas- 

 ured 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. 

 '^"J^The strong, vigorous plants grow 2 feet high by 18 inches across; 

 they are completely laden with large, handsome fruits, and bear continu- 

 ously until frost. Single plants carry from 35 to 50 marketable fruits at 

 one time. The Peppers grow upright until they become so heavy that their 

 own weight turns them down. The skin and flesh are bright red; they are 

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

 prime condition a long time So unusually productive is this variety that 

 twelve plants will furnish an ample supply for a family throughout a 

 season. Pkt. 10c. Yi Oz. 20c. Oz. 30c. 2 Ozs. 55c. M Lb. $1.00.
