New^ Tomato Pepper. 



The illustratioQ above, takeu from a photograph, is an excelleat 

 representation of this new red pepper. As implied by its name, iu shape 

 and general appearance it very mucla resembles a tomato, so much 

 so that nine persons out of ten, seeing it green or ripe, would at first 

 glance, say it was a tomato. I secured the seed from a Pepper .Special- 

 ist, who has been shipping it for a number of years past with great 

 success to the New York and Boston markets, wliere he has invariably 

 secured the highest market prices. It is of upright growth, and must 



not be confused with the Red Squash; it is a much better pepper in 

 every way, enormously productive, and can be eaten out of hand like 

 an apple, being of mild and delicate tlavor. I bave now grown it at 

 Panmure for 8 years where it has excited the admiration of all visitors. 

 As soon as its merits become known.it is sure to prove a profitable 

 market variety. It stays in bearing right through the season from 

 early July until frost; and bulk for bulk will outyield even such a pro- 

 ductive variet.v as Kuby King two to one, taking the entire season 

 through. If you are raising peppers for profit, you should certainly 

 include the New Tomato Pepper in your order: I am sure you will not 

 regret it, I acket, 15 cents; J.2 ounce," 60 cents; ounce, sl.OO.

NEW^ ^WIIVGOLD ^WAX BEAIV. 



First offered last year an "Nameless" Wax. When the originator of 

 this bean first ofTered it to me, 1 hesitated some time beforelisting it, 

 as I thought there were already enough wax beans on the market; but 

 his earnestness and m.v trials of the bean, so impressed me with its 

 merits that I fiuall.v decided to offer it last year for the first time, and 

 did so under the title of "Nameless." That it is a great acquisition 

 there is now no question. It is absolutely striugless, with beautiful, 



Moses H. Kelsey. West Salisbury, Vt.— Your New Nameless Wax Bean is a 

 beauty. The buslies are of strong, upright growth, having not the least tendency 

 to vine, but holding the pods well oif the ground and are verv prolitic. It is of 

 superior quality; the pods are very brittle and meaty; have sin- excellent Havor 

 and are entirel.v free from strings, even when the pods iDecome too old for use. 

 One remarlcable quality of this bean is its ability to withstand wet weather. With 

 us the season was very wet, and many varieties were rendered almost worthless 

 on account of rust, from which the Nameless Wax was entirelv fr?e. The pods 

 are borne in greatest profusion, in clusters of four and six. Were I to condense 

 my opinion in one sentence, I would say it is the best wax bean in cultivation. 



Marcus Fidel. Wright. Cal.— 1 tried your New Nameless Bean last year. It is 

 without fault of any Icind. and has no disease from planting time till harvest, in 

 growth it is short and stocky, with large and very heavy dark green leaves. 

 Shows no inclination to run, but branches freelv, and on this account should be 

 planted thin. Its bearing is simply enormous; 'it is literally packed with clear 

 yellow pods, as round as a pencil, entirely stringless and without a peer in quality. 



Mrs. G. W. Rsimold. Transfer, Pa.— I planted vour New Nameless Wax Beans 

 last spring, and in m days iron planting I picked my first beans; thev continue 

 to bear as long as the longest, the last being as free from strings and rust as the 

 first. The vines are a perfect mass of lovely, long, round, crisp veUow pods, as 

 delicious in flavor as a nut. and as free from strings and rust as an Icicle. 



S. E. Jewell. St. David. Arizona.— Your Xew Nameless Wax Bean is about 10 

 dars earlier than Davis Kidney Wax. has beautiful, round, fleshy pods, of a 

 bright waxy color; it is absolutely stringless until nearlv ripe; remains a long 

 time in good condition after gathering; is very attractive in the market, and 

 delicious on the table. My customers all want niore of the same beans. 



Geo. Van Wav, Winfield, Kan.— I planted .vour Nameless Wax Beans at the 

 same time I planted Golden Wax, Burpee's Wax and Kidney Wax Beans; the 

 Nameless were full of blossoms before the others showed anV bloom, and were 

 soon loaded with flne beans fit for use when the others were just beginning to set; 

 putting the Nameless one week ahead of these well loiown varieties. For qualitv 

 and productiveness they are equal to the best, and for earliness in the front rank. 



Geo. T. Osborn. Poughkeepsie. N. Y.— I consider your New Nameless Wax a 

 most valuable string bean. In the first place it is a strong grower. Second.it 

 stands up. which keeps the beans off tlie ground and is a great advantage. Third, 

 it is a great yielder. from 30 to -50 large, straight meatr pods on one plant. Fourth, 

 it is a rust proof bean; in June it was very rainy and foggy, which rusted all of my 

 bush beans, except the Nameless. Fifth, it continues to bear a long time and the 

 pods are meaty. I planted May 24th. and July 4th had beans fit for market. 



Frank G. DuflHn, Danville, 111.— I am pleased with your New Nameless Bean. 

 It is a read.v seller, a good yielder, a hearty grower, and a bean that will stand 

 more early frost than any other bean in cultivation.

round, yellow pods that will sell at sight on any market stall. It is 

 free from spots or disease of any kind, and from last year's experiments 

 matures much earlier than L expected. With one accord, all my 

 friends who tried it last year, seem to think it the coming wax sort, 

 especially in view of the fact that it is so absolutely rust proof, so 

 remarkably hardy, and so wonderfully productive.
