«a: Maule’s Improved 
Ruby King 
American public more than a decade ago, 
and it at once took conspicuous place and| 
became the leader of the sweet red sorts. 
We have every year sought to improve this 
already good pepper. We can truthfully} 
claim that every year our strain of Ruby} 
King is better than the year before. We} 
have furnished this seed to tens of thou-| 
sands of gardeners with the most satisfac-| 
tory results, and our strain of this splen-| 
did 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 Sweet Mountain 
or any other sort excepting Chinese Giant 
and Giant Crimson. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 35 cis.;

sx: Chinese Giant 
The Finest, Largest and Handsomest Pepper | 
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, setting 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 fiery 
flavor. Without exception every one of our customers who has 
ever grown the Chinese Giant has pronounced it the finest and 
largest pepper he has ever seen.
