NEW NEAPOLITAN PEPPER. 



New Neapolitan Pepper 



I originally named and first offered 

 Neapolitan in 1903. The earliest of 

 all peppers by a week to ten days. 



If I had not purchased my Panmure Seed Farms this 

 pepper would still be unknown. Six years ago my atten- 

 tion was attracted to the fact that a few Italian gardeners 

 located near Panmure, were shipping peppers by the carload 

 one to three weeks earlier than any other peppers could be 

 shipped ; and on investigation I found that for years a small 

 settlement of Italians situated a few miles from my farm had 

 been shipping these peppers to market and realizing thou- 

 sands of dollars. With our trials of other peppers, Neapoli- 

 tan proved itself to be two weeks earlier than any other. 

 When, in addition to this fact, we had good size and mild, 

 piquant flavor, I decided I had secured a money maker, 

 Plants are of strong growth, very stocky and peppers are 

 borne erect, averaging the size of the illustration. Flesh 

 is very thick and fruit is pale green turning to a brilliant 

 red color. If my customers want peppers from one to three 

 weeks ahead of their neighbors, they must plant Neapolitan. 



Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 45 cis.; quarter lb., $1.25; lb., $4.50. 



GOLDEN Q.UEEN.— To say 

 that this pepper is a yellow 

 Rudy King is the highest 

 praise that can be bestowed 

 upon it. Golden Queen is the 

 best of all yellow peppers. It is 

 always large and sometimes re- 

 markably so, specimens reaching 

 fi to 10 inches in length and 4 to 5 

 inches In diameter. A single 

 plant sometimes carries 20 large 

 peppers at the same time. The 

 flavor is mild and pleasant, and 

 it may be eaten raw. It is unex- 

 celled for stuffing. Its size and 

 appearance always command 

 good prices for it. Pkt., 10c; 

 ox., 30c; \i lb., $1.00; lb., $3.

BULL NOSE. 



Miss A. V. Dunn, Stoke-on-Trent, England.— The sweet corn I bought from you 

 last year was most excellent, and did well in England, also asters. 



Henry B. Schwartz, Nana, Okinawa Prefecture, Japan.— The seed received from 

 you last spring gave great satisfaction. I have never had seed come up better. 

 The White Velvet Okra is the largest and finest I ever saw. 



Mrs. L. E. Hastings, Centre City, Colo.— I have used your seeds for nearly 25 

 years in Illinois, Kansas and Colorado, and have never had a failure. Bugs some- 

 times destroy some of the plants, but the seeds always come true. I planted 2 qts. 

 Stringless Green Pod and 2 qts. Golden Wax Beans, and sold.$33.00 worth of beans. 



H. E. Perrin, Sunnyside, Wash.— I have put up, this year, the finest lot of New 

 Magnificent Tomatoes I have ever seen. My tomatoes took first premium at the 

 Seattle Fair, and both first and second premiums at our Sunnyside Fair. One of 

 my customers wrote: "Your tomatoes are not simply excellent, they are superb." 



Philip Llewellyn, Auburn, N. Y.-We have your seeds for years and find them 

 all right and true to name. We raised 8 Mammoth Chili Squash, their united 

 weight being about 500 pounds, and have one on exhibition in one of the stores. 



A. Oswalt, Mancelona, Mich.— This has been a very poor year for anything in 

 the line of crops, but I am more than pleased with your Droughtproof Corn. I 

 have a wonderfully big crop and nicer corn you never saw. I have something like 

 4 acres of it, and think it will give me a turnout of about COO or 600 baskets. It le 

 something new in this part of the country, and I don't believe it can be beat. 



D. Donahue, No. Mankato, Minn.— Enclosed you will find draft for $80.47 for my 

 regular order. This year will make the sixth year that I have used your seeds, and 

 I find them O. K. in every respect and true to name and description. I can buy 

 cheaper seeds, but 1 think they are the dearest in the end; I have tried a few cheap 

 seeds to my sorrow. The best seeds are the only seedB for the market gardener 

 to buy; I think yours are the best and will use them as long as I am truck farming. 



Mrs. F. Schwab, Saltsburg, Pa.— I am sorry I did not give you my whole seed 

 order; but we got Government seeds this year, and I have the poorest tomato 

 plants I have had for 13 years, during which time I have used your seeds. Mj 

 Sugar Peas last year were fine; there were as high as nine peas m a pod, and oi 

 enormous size. Everybody who saw them wanted to know where I got the seed, 

 and I answered, "From Wm. Henry Maule." My tomatoes, also, were lovely 

 shape and early. I had ripe tomatoes in July, which Is early for this part of the 

 country. So I will get my seeds from you in the future.
