 more productive, the fruits being

NEW CELESTIAL. A pepper marvel from China. It 

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

 plants in existence. The plant begins to set in peppers early 

 in the season, and continues until frost, branching freely and 

 bearing profusely, single plants producing three t'> 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 vi^id scarlet, making a plant loaded 

 with fruit— part one color and part another— an object of 

 most striking beauty and oddity, worthy of a place in the 

 flowe- as well as the vegetable garden. Pkt , 10c. ; oz., 2.5c.;

31 AaiMOTH GOLDEN QUEEN. This is not only the 

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

 largest, handsomtxt and most productive of all varieties; origi- 

 n:ited on our own grounds, where we fir.st found a single 

 plant grooving in a hirge field of Ruby King some years ago. 

 It grows fully as 1 irge as Ruby King and to tuice the sfee of 

 Golden Dawn, of the most perfect shape and vniform large 

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

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

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

 so mild in flavor tiiey can he eaten like tomatoes, with 

 pepper and vinegar. Our best market gardeners say they sell 

 in market at double the prices of any other sort-*, and are 

 exceedingly valuable for stuffing as mangoes. This pepper, 

 which we first introduced in 1887, has been recently offered 

 as a noveltv under the name of Golden King, Pkt., 10c. ; oz., 

 lOc; 34llj.,'fl.00; lb., 83.50.
