The Pepper Kinj and Ruby King 



Chinese Giant Pepper 



PEPPER 



So long as we can remember, there has never been such a shortage of Pepper seed as we are up against right at this time. It is so 

 severe, in fact, that it is going to be necessary for us entirely to pass up the selling of Ruby Giant for the season. The only variety 

 we are offering in place of these is the Large Bell or Bull Nose hot Pepper, which is known to a great many of our trade, but which 

 has not been listed by us for some time. About the middle of September last, a magnificent twenty-acre field of Ruby King Pepper, 

 growing for us in Cumberland County, New Jersey, was entirely wiped out by a hail storm. Our supply, therefore, is very much cut 

 down and will probably not last out the season. 



834 Ruby King 



This is the most popular Pepper of its class, being a much more 

 desirable sort than the Bell, or Bull Nose. The plants grow about 

 2 feet high, and bear a fine crop of handsome scarlet fruits. 

 These grow 3 to 6 inches in length, about 3 inches through. The 

 flesh is quite thick, sweet and so mild that the Peppers may be 

 eaten from the hand like an apple. It is especially fine for man- 

 goes. Pkt. 15 cts., oz. 70 cts., Vilh. $2.25, lb. $8, postpaid. 



836 Large Bell, or Bull Mose (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. 10 cts., oz. 60 

 cts., Vilh. $2, lb. $7, postpaid. 



832 Chinese Giant 



This is the Jumbo of the Pepper family. Our strain of Chinese 

 Giant has been very carefully selected for a series of years, and 

 will grow smooth and handsome, usually divided into four lobes, 

 indented at the blossom end. The flesh is thick and mild and a 

 beautiful dark green. It is the latest of all Peppers in maturing. 

 Pkt. 25 cts., oz. 85 cts., y4lb. $3, lb. $10, postpaid. 



835 Neapolitan 



This is the earliest of the large, mild red Peppers and the most 

 productive of all. From seed started in February, plants set out 

 the latter part of May, the fruit may be picked the latter part of 

 June. The skin and flesh are bright red, of fine flavor, sweet, very 

 mild and tender. They carry well and keep in prime condition a 

 long time. For market-gardeners and pickling establishments, the 

 Neapolitan is particularly recommended. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 50 

 cts., V41t>. $1.75, lb. $6, postpaid. 



838 Long Red Cayenne 



This is a hot one, having a long, cylindrical, twisted and pointed pod about 4 inches long. Deep green when the Pepper is young, 

 bright red when ripe; very strong and pungent flesh. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 45 cts., Vilb. $1.50, lb. $5, postpaid.
