Chinese Giant is certainly a wonder. 
The plants are of strong, stocky growth, 
of bushy, erect habit, growing 18 inches 
to 2 feet in height, with abundant foliage. 
The compact plants are very prolific, set- [&

quite early in the season, which ripen 
while a second crop is setting on the | 
branches. The fruit is quite square in //™

very mild, being entirely free from any jf 
fiery flavor. oe

form, large size, brilliance of color, and sweet,

mild flavor. So prominent are these desirable 
features that the words “Maule’s Improved” 
are properly attached to the name. The 
Ruby King pepper attains a larger size than 
Sweet Spanish or any other sort excepting 
Chinese Giant, and is excellent in every way.
