Chine^se^ Giant JPepper. 



226. Double the size of Ruby King. Pepper and equally as mild. By 

 careful and numerous experiments we have found this enormous mild 

 red Pepper to be a money maker of great value to the trucker. The 

 monstrous fruits are of a thick, blocky form and of the most brilliant 

 glossy scarlet. They grow four to five inches broad at the top, and 

 about four to five inches in length and are divided into four or more 

 large ridges and when ripe, they are indented at the bottom end. It is 

 early, productive, and quickly .sells on account of its enormous size. 

 The plants are vigorous, stocky, and grow about two feet in height. 

 They are well branched and thickly set with the largest Peppers, fre- 

 quently half a dozen fruits will touch each other as if in a single bunch; 

 the strong growth of the plants and abundant foliage enable them to 

 mature the large number of fruits almost asearlv as the Famous Ruby 

 King. PKt. 10c. 1/2 Oz. 25c. Oz. 40c. 1/4 Lb. $1.35. Lb. $5.00.

l^l- Rnlirisinn'c nnlri Mniintain ^nrinir Watormolnn NewVariety.— I.ast summer we were spending our vacation in the Mountains; dur- 

 DjrgldllU b bUlU mUUilldlll Oprmg naiermeiOn. j^g ^^r absence, one of the leading Watermelon growers, living about 100 miles from 

 Baltimore, wrote us, he had for a number of years been deleloping an extra, selected strain of Watermelon, and the result of his efforts had gone far 

 beyond anything he had ever hoped to produce. Were we interested? He shipped us several samples, these came on boat to Baltimore 100 miles, 

 then on railroad through the mountains for 250 miles. Reaching us in perfect condition after traveling 350 miles, through rough country and rough- 

 ly handled. These melons attracted the attention of everyone by their beautiful deep green color, stately size and excellent shape. We had them 

 on exhibition, then took them with us back into the mountains. We put the Melons in a Cold Mountain Spring, and in a few hours wecut them. 

 The Melons were in a perfect condition, "Red to the Rind," and entirely free from stringiness. We immediately inspected the crop. The Cold 

 Mountain Spring Watermelon is a winner as a shipper, as a table Melon and as a Monev Maker. Our supply of seed is necessarily limited and 

 only the seed produced by the originator, so order immediately. PKt. 10c. Oz. 15r. l/4Lb.35c. 1/2 Lb. 60c. Lb. $1.00.

 Gentlemen : — Will 

 you be so kind as to 

 enter my order for 50 

 lbs. of Selected Cold 

 Mountain Spring 

 Watermelon Seed. No 

 other variety will be 

 planted here another 

 year, and your firm 

 will be called upon for 

 about 250 lbs. of seed 

 of this variety at 

 Clermont, and the 

 neighboring points 

 •will likely order the 

 same aniomit. This 

 is by far the best 

 Melon ue ever plant- 

 ed; so be sure and keep 

 the seed pure and up 

 to the standard.
