The Standard Home and Market Sort 
This pepper was introduced to the American public more 
than a decade ago, and it at once took a conspicuous place and 
became the leader of the sweet red sorts. It grows about 
5 to 6 inches long by 3 to 4 inches in diameter; flesh is very 
thick, sweet and so mild it is often sliced for a salad; also fine 
for stuffing. We have furnished this seed to tens of thousands 
of gardeners with the most satisfactory results, and our strain 
of this splendid stock is now noted for perfection of form, 
large size, brilliancy of color, and sweet, mild flavor. So 
prominent are these desirable features the words ‘“Maule’s 
Improved” are properly attached to the strain we furnish.
