the ground in rows from one and a half to two feet apart, and a foot 
to a foot and a halfin the rows. There are more Peppers raised here 
than in other sections of the country; the hot varieties are used for 
seasoning and making pepper sauce; the mild variety is-highly es- 
teemed for salad. Care should be taken not to grow different kinds 
close together, as they mix very readily. 
Sweet Spanish or Monstrous Pepper. Sweet Pepper, Ruby King. 
Sweet Spanish, or Wonstrous. A very popular variety, much 
cultivated. It is very mild, grows to a large size, tapering towards the 
end. and, when green, is used as a salad. Superior for that purpose 
to any- other kind. 
Sweet Pepper, Ruby King. This variety grows to a larger 
size than the Sweet Spanish Monstrous, and is of different shape. The 
fruit is from 5 to 6 inches long by about 3 to 4 inches in diameter, and 
of a bright red color. It is remarkably mild and pleasant in flavor, 
and can be sliced and eaten as a salad, the same as the Spanish Mon- 
strous. Single plants ripen from 8 to10 fruits, making this variety 
both productive and profitable. A decided acquisition. 
New Golden Dawn Mango. This new sweet pepperattracted 
much attention last season, and was admired by all who saw it. Ibe- 
lieve it to be all the originator claims for it. In shape and size it re- 
sembles the Bell. Color, a bright waxy golden yellow; very brilliant 
and handsome. Single plants ripen from twelve to twenty-four fruits, 
making them productive and profitable. They are entirely exempt 
from any fiery taste or flavor, and can be eaten as readily as an apple. 
Bell or Buil Nose. Isa large oblong variety which is not sweet 
or mild, as thought by some. Theseedsare very hot. Used for pick- 
ling.
