New Sweet Pepper, “RUBY KING.’ 
This variety grows to a larger size than the Sweet Spanish Mons- 
trous, and is of different shape. The fruit is from 7 to 8 inches long 
by about 4 inches in diameter, and ofa bright red color. They are re- 
markably mild and pleasant in flavor, and can be sliced and eaten as 
a salad, the same as the Spanish Monstrous. Single plants ripen from 
8 to 10 fruits, making them both productive and profitable. A decided 
acquisition.
