Chinese Giant 
The Finest, 
Largest and Handsomest 
Pepper of Them All. 


























Chinese Giant is certainly a wonder. 
The plants are of strong, stocky growth, 
of bushy, erect habit, growing 18 inches 
to 2 feet in height, with abundant foliage. 
The compact plants are very prolific, set- ie 
ting 3 to 4 extra large fruits at the base 
quite early in the season, which ripen 
while a second crop is setting on the 
branches. The fruit is quite square in 
appearance, while the flesh is thick and 
very mild, being entirely free from any jf 
fiery flavor. oe 
Without exception every one of my gam 
customers who has ever grown the Chinese § 
Giant has pronounced it the finest and 
largest pepper they have ever seen. 
Pkt., 15 cts.; + oz., 35 cts.; oz,

‘il Maule’s Improved 
Ruby King. 
This pepper was introduced to the Ameri- 
an public more than a decade ago, and it at 
Hy) once took conspicuous place and became the 
eader of the sweet red sorts. I have every 
year sought to improve this already good pep- 
per. I can truthfully claim that every year 
my strain of Ruby King is better than the 
year before. I have furnished this seed to 
tens of thousands of gardeners with the most 
satisfactory results, and my strain of this 
splendid stock is now noted for perfection of 
form, large size, brilliance of color, and sweet, 
mild flavor. So prominent are these desirable - 
features that the words ‘Maule’s Improved” 
are properly attached to the name. The 
Ruby King pepper attains a larger size than 
Spanish Monstrous or any other sort excepting 
Chinese Giant, and is excellent in every way. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 45 cents; 
4 pound, $1.25; pound, $4.50.
