HE%REDHOT PEffPER 



535 Maule's New Red Hot Pepper 



Also called Ladyfinger Pepper. Any of my cus- 

 tomers who desire a red hot pepper 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 command gen- 

 eral attention. The handsome long peppers grow 

 about 5 to 7 inches long. It produces its fruit 

 upright on the plant in wonderful profusion. 

 This is a strong feature, as none of the peppers 

 are apt to rot at the ends. Maule's New 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 in South 

 Jersey to both New York and Boston. Plit., 10c. ;

 large, specimens reaching B to 10 inches in length 

 and 4 to 5 inches in diumeter. A single plant 

 sometimes carries 20 large peppers at the same 

 time. The flavor is mild and pleasant, and it may 

 be eaten raw. The beautiful golden yellow color 

 contrasting with the green and red of the other 

 sorts. Makes an excellent combination which is 

 always admired on the table, either in pepper 

 sauce or on the dishes. Packet, 10 cts.; ouuce,

534 Maule's Tomato 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 pepper seed from a specialist, who has been shipping it for a number of 

 years past with great success to the New York and Boston 

 markets, where he has invariably secured the highest mar- 

 ket 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 several 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 varietj'. It 

 stays In bearing right through the season from early June 

 until frost; and bulk for bulk will outyleld even such a pro- 

 ductive variety as Ruby King two to one, taking the entire 

 season through. An excellent sort for the home garden or 

 for market. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; % pound, 

 75 cents; pound, $2.50.
