94 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. 14 Oz. 
20ce. Oz. 35c. 14 Lb. $1.00. 1 Lb. $1.75. Lb. $3.50. Postpaid.

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 magnilicent 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 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. 14 Oz. 20c. Oz. 3c. 
1 Lb. $1.00. 14 Lb. $1.75. Lb. $3.50. Postpaid. 
6{ ‘‘Neapolitan’’ Peppers to One Plant 
Mr. B. Olds Tyler, Texas, writes: ‘‘In gathering Ripe Neapolitan Pepper the other 
day I counted 61 Peppers, large and small, on one plant.” 
*‘Neapolitan’”’ (0 to {5 Days Earlier Than Any Other 
On August 20, Mr. Victoria Coscia, of Shelby Co., Tenn., writes: ‘‘ The Chinese Giant 
Pepper that we bought from vou is just fine. Wehada finecrop. It is just as sweet as sugar. 
We used your New Neapolitan Pepper and it bore more Peppers than we ever saw and it is 
also ten lo fifleen days earlier than any other Pepper.”

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. 
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 hecome 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 along time. So unusually productive is this variety that 
twelve plants wiil furnish an ample supply for a family throughout a 
season Pkt. 10c. Oz. 25c. 2 Ozs. 40c. 14 Lb. 7idc. Lb. $2.50.
