836 Large Bell, or Bull Nose (Hot) 



Where a large main- season hot Pepper is desired, Large Bell, or Bull Nose, will certainly find 

 a place. In shape it is slightly thicker through than Ruby King, but is much shorter. It will turn 

 red under about the same conditions. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 35 cts., %lb. $1.25, lb. $5. 



840 Red Chili 



This produces a small, bright red, very hot Pepper, maturing late; pods about 2 inches long, 

 1 inches in diameter at the base, tapering to a sharp point. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 35 cts., Vilb. $1.25, 

 lb. $5; 



836 Pimiento 



An exceptional Pepper in that it does not contain a trace of fieriness. The flesh is quite thick 

 and when fully ripe a brilliant red. The skin may be easily peeled off by scalding the Pepper. 

 It is of medium size and of a shape adapted for filling. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 35 cts., %lb. $1.25, lb. $5. 



SPINACH 



May be planted in the North until October 1 



945 Bloomsdale Savoy 



This is the very best variety we know of for fall sowing. It has thick, large leaves, finely curled 

 and crumpled, producing magnificent heads of excellent quality. We believe it is one of the most 

 profitable crops when grown on a large scale. We have encouraged many of our customers to go 

 into it heavily, with almost invariably good results. Bloomsdale Savoy is a great barrel-filler and 

 is excellent for shipping. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V 4 lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.25. 



950 Victoria Long-Stand ing 



This is another hot-weather sort, and resembles very much the All Seasons, which was selected 

 rom it. The Long-Standing is a straight-leaved Spinach, sometimes called "Dog-Ear." It is, 

 nevertheless, one of the very best varieties for hot-weather use, and a large number of our cus- 

 tomers still hold to it. As a home-garden Spinach we believe it is equal to the All Seasons in every 

 respect, as its quality is just as good. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V 4 lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.25. 



RADISH 



May be planted in the North until September 15 



875 Scarlet Globe 



Probably more largely used for all purposes than any other Radish. Scarlet Globe is of a 

 rich, bright scarlet; the shape is short olive-shaped or short oval, and the top is small. Under 

 favorable conditions it will mature about five days after the Earliest Scarlet Forcing, but under 

 unfavorable conditions it will take at least thirty days before maturing. Its maximum size before 

 becoming pithy is 1 % inches long by % inch in diameter. As compared with Scarlet Olive-shaped 

 it is shorter, slightly lighter in color and about two days earlier in maturing. The interior of the 

 root is pure white, mild, crisp and fine-grained. Its season is rather short and it must be pulled 

 reasonably soon after maturity. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., Vilb. 35 cts., lb. $1.25. 



877 Giant Crimson 



Growers desiring a large, later Scarlet Globe should carefully consider the merits of Giant Crim- 

 son. It is a Radish nearly twice as large as the former variety, maturing fully one week later. Its 

 shape is nearly round, color bright crimson, and it will hold longer before becoming pithy, its maxi- 

 mum size in that stage being about 1 Z A inches long by 1 X A inches in diameter. It is slightly smaller 

 than White Box, but will mature five to ten days ahead of that variety. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 

 10 cts., V 4 lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.25. 



879 Sparkler White-Tip 



One of the most attractive and desirable Radishes in our list. The color is a very deep scarlet, 

 with a distinct white tip covering about one-third of the lower diameter of the root. It will mature, 

 under favorable conditions, in about twenty-eight days and will hold longer before becoming pithy 

 than some of the earlier Radishes described before. Its maximum size before becoming over-ripe 

 is about 1 M inches in diameter. In shape it is nearly round and slightly flattened on the under side. 

 Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 10 cts., V 4 lb. 35 cts., lb. $1.25.
