PHOTOGEAPII op A SINGLE PLANT OP BtJBY KING.

 size of Bull Nose. The fruits are five to six inches long by 

 about three and one half inches through, of a bright red. 

 They are remarkably mild and pleasant in fla%'or, having no 

 fiery taste. Single iilants ripen from eight to ten fruits. The 

 best red pepper. Pkt., lOc; oz., 20c.; ^4 lb., C5c.; lb., $2.25. 



MAMMOTH GOLDEN QUEEN. This is not only the 

 best and most profitable mild pepper, but is one of the 

 largest^ haiidsometit and most productive of alt varieties; origi- 

 nated on our own grounds, where we first found a single 

 plant growing in a large field of Ruby King some years ago. 

 It grows fully as large as Ruby King and to twice the size of 

 Golden Dawn, of the most perfect shape atid uniform large 

 size. They grow from fifteen to twenty perfect fruits on a 

 plant, from eight to ten inches long and four to five inches 

 through. In color they are bright, waxy, golden yellow, and 

 so mild in flavor they can be eaten like tomatoes, with 

 pepper and vinegar. Our best market gardeners say they sell 

 in market at double the prices of any other sorts, and are 

 exceedingly valuable for stuffing as mangoes. This pepper, 

 which we first introduced in 1887. has been recently offered 

 as a novelty under the name of Golden King. Pkt., lOc; 

 oz., 30c.; 34 lb., 80c.; lb., $3.00.

 known variety, of mild flavor, rind thick and fleshy; the best 

 for pickling. Pkt, 5c.; oz., 20c.; ^ lb., 60c.: lb., $2.00. 



NEW CARDINAL. This pepper grows to a length of 

 about six inches, very thick and sweet-fleshed. It would be 

 worthy of cultivation for its beauty alone, the color of the 

 fruit appearing as though varnished in a bright cardinal. It 

 can be used for all purposes to which peppers are put. Pkt., 

 5c.; oz., 20e.; ^Ib., 65e.: lb., $2.25.

 very hot and is used in the manufacture of the celebrated 

 Tabasco Sauce. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 40c ; M lb., $1.00.

 in the season, and continues until frost, single plants produc- 

 ing three to four hundred perfect fruits. The peppers, up to 

 the time they are full grown, are of delicate, creamy yellow 

 color, and then change to an intense vivid scarlet, making a 

 plant loaded with fruit— part one color and part another— an 

 object of most striking beauty. Pkt., lOc; oz., 25c.; J^Ib.,
