 Neapolitan Pepper, described above, but is of a beautiful golden 

 yellow color when ripe. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 45 cts., Klb. $1.35. 



NEW RUBY GIANT. This beautiful Pepper is a cross between' 

 the Ruby King and the Chinese Giant. The Chinese Giant is the 

 largest of all Peppers, but is rough and ungainly in shape ; whereas, 

 the New Ruby Giant, while quite as large round as the Chinese 

 Giant, has the ideal shape of the Ruby King, being longer than the- 

 Chinese Giant, and much larger round than the Ruby King. The- 

 plants are vigorous in growth, stocky in habit, are well branched' 

 and thickly set with the beautiful enormous fruits. The flesh i.s- 

 mild and sweet as an apple, making a good salad sliced andi 

 served with tomatoes. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 55 cts., Klb. $1.50, lb. $5.50.

 are 5 to 6 inches long, by about 3^ inches through. They are

 taste. Single plants ripen from eight to ten fruits. The most popu- 

 lar red Pepper. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 40 cts., Klb. Si. 25, lb. $4. 



MAMMOTH GOLDEN QUEEN. Originated on our own grounds,^ 

 where we first found a single plant growing in a large field of Ruby 

 King some years ago. They grow from fifteen to twenty perfect 

 fruits on a plant, from 8 to 10 inches long and 4 to 5 inches through. 

 Color bright golden yellow, and so mild they can be eaten like 

 tomatoes. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., Klb. 85 cts., lb. $3.
