Chinese Giant Pepper 



The Finest, Largest 

 and Handsomest Sort 



Chinese Giant is certainly a wonder. 

 The plants are of strong, stocky growth, 

 of bushy, erect habit, growing 18 inches 

 to 2 feet in lieight, with abundant foliage. 

 The compact plants are very iDrolific, set- 

 ting 3 io 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 

 fierj' flavor. Without exception Chinese 

 Giant is pronounced the finest and largest 

 pepper ever grown. 



Packet, 10 cents; half ounce, 30 cents; 

 ounce, 50 cents; quarter pound, $1.50; 

 pound, $5.50; postpaiid. 



I received your catalogue, was glad to 

 receive it at so ecu-ly a date. I am send- 

 ing you a photograph of my Chinese 

 Gizuit pepper field. I want to say that I 

 have broken all records on sweet pep- 

 pers on the Oklahoma City markets. I 

 have reused specimens w^eighing 8J ozs., 

 which commanded 20 cents per dozen.
