Maule's 



Tomato Pepper 



The illustration herewith, taken from a 

 photograph, Is an excellent representation 

 of this new red pepper. As implied by Its 

 name, in shape and general appearance 

 it very much resembles a tomato, so much 

 so that nine persons out of ten, seeing it 

 green or ripe, would at first glance say it 

 was a tomato. I secured the seed from a 

 pepper specialist, who has been shipping 

 It for a number of years past with great 

 success to the New York and Boston mar- 

 kets, where he has invariably secured the 

 highest market prices. It is of upright 

 growth and must not be confused with the 

 Red Squash; It is a much better pepper 

 every way, enormously productive, and 

 can be eaten out of the hand like an 

 apple, being of mild and delicate flavor. 

 I have grown it at Panmure for 9 years, 

 where it has excited the admiration of all 

 visitors. As soon as its merits become 

 known, it is sure to prove a profitable 

 market variety. It stays in bearing right 

 through the season from early June until 

 frost; and bulk for bulk will outyleld even 

 such a productive variety as Ruby King 

 two to one, taking the entire season 

 through. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 35 cts.; 

 % pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50. 



530 Giant Crimson 



The earliest maturing of the extremely 

 large, red sweet peppers. Plant is vigor- 

 ous and upright, grow ing 2>^ to 3 feet high, 

 which is larger than the Chinese Giant 

 and more productive. The fruits are of 

 very large size, ripen earlier than any of 

 the other very large sorts and average 

 heavier, as the flesh is exceptionally 

 thick. Color deep green when fruit is 

 young, deep crimson when matured; fla- 

 vor very mild. PacUet, 10 cts.; ounce, 

 40 cts.; % pound, $1.10; pound, $<]:.00.

535 Maole's 

 New Red Hot Pepper 



Also called Ladyfinger Pep 

 per. Any of my customeis 

 who desire a red hot peppei 

 can have it In this variety; it 

 is absolutely the hottest pep 

 per I know of, except the 

 Little Cayenne. Its shape is 

 very attractive, and will com 

 mand general attention. The 

 handsome long peppers grow 

 about 5 to 7 inches long. It 

 produces its fruit upright on 

 the plant in wonderful pro 



fusion. This is a strong feature, as none of the pep- 

 pers are apt to rot at the ends. Maule's Xew Red 

 Hot Peppers are in great demand in all our Eastern 

 cities, and are frequently shipped in car lots by 

 many of my market gardener customers lu South 

 Jersey to both New York and Boston. Pitt., 10 cts.;
