MAMMOTH GOLDEN QUEEN. This is not only the 

 best and most profitable mild pepper in cultivation, but is 

 by far the largest, handsomest and most productive of 

 all varieties; originated on our own grounds, growing to 

 twice the size of Golden Dawn, and averaging a third 

 larger than Ruby King, of the most perfect shape and uni- 

 form large size. The above illustration we have had made 

 from a photograph of a single fruit. They grow from fifteen 

 to twenty perfect fruits, from eight to ten inches long and 

 four to five inches through on a single plant. In color they 

 are bright, waxy, golden yellow, and so mild in flavor they 

 can be eaten like tomatoes, with pepper and vinegar. Sev- 

 eral of our best market gardeners, who have tried them, say 

 they sell in market at double the prices of any other sorts, 

 and are exceedingly valuable for stuffing as mangoes. If 

 you want to be astonished, try the Mammoth Golden 

 Oueen. Pkt., lOc; 3 pkts., 25c.; oz., 50c.; % lb., $1.25; lb., 

 $4.50. 



TSEW DWARF EAKLY RED SQUASH. This variety 

 is a great improvement over the old Red Squash Pepper, 

 being decidedly earlier and more prolific. It is of a dwarfer 

 growth, while the fruit is rounder, smoother and milder in 

 flavor; the skin is also much thicker. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 30c.; 

 >^ lb., 85c.; lb.,S3.00. 



RUBY KING. Our patches of this new pepper have 

 attracted much attention. It is unquestionably the largest 

 and handsomest of the red varieties. They grow to a larger 

 size than the Spanish Monstrous, and of different shape. The 

 fruits are five to six inches long by about three and a-half 

 inches through, of a bright red color. They are remarkably 

 mild and pleasant in flavor, having no fiery taste whatever. 

 Single plants ripen from eight to ten fruits, making them both 

 productive and profitable. Pkt., lOc; oz., 30c.; ^ lb., 90c.; 

 lb., «3.25. 





NEW CELESTIAL PEPPER. A marvel from China. 

 It is not only a most useful pepper, but one of the most 

 beautiful plants in existence. The individual jjlant from 

 which the accompanying illustration was made, contained 

 over 300 peppers. 



The plant begins to set in peppers early in the season, 

 and continues until frost, branching freely and bearing pro- 

 fusely. The peppers, up to the time they are full grown, are 

 of a delicate, creamy yellow color, and when fully grown 

 change to an intense vivid scarlet, making a plant, when 

 loaded with fruit^part of one color and part of another — an 

 object of the most striking beauty and oddity, and worthy of 

 a place in the flower as well as the vegetable garden. The 

 peppers are borne upright, two to three inches long, of elear. 

 sharp flavor, and superior for any of the uses to which pep- 

 pers can be put. Pkt., lOc; 3 pkts., 25e.; 7 pkts., 50c.; oz.,75c. 



RED CLUSTER. This new pepper attracted much at^ 

 tention at our grounds the past two summers. It is undoubt- 

 edly a sport of the Chili, which it slightly resembles, the 

 leaves and fruits are smaller, while it is much more produc- 

 tive, the fruits being curiously crowded together on each 

 branch, making the plants extremely ornamental as well as 

 useful.- Thepeppersare very hot, long and thin in shape, and 

 of a conspicuous coral red color. Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 35o.; ^ lb., 

 90c.; lb., $3.50.

 pickling. Pkt., 5c., oz., 25c.; 14, lb., 75c.; lb., S2.50.

 bright red color, very productive and hot. Pkt., 5c.; oz. , 25c.;
