SEEDS 



SUPER-STANDARD STRAINS 



Early Giant Pepper The 7^*^ 



Days to maturity, 125. We consider this a very valuable acquisition to our list of Pepper varieties. 

 It is the earliest large Pepper we know of, being comparable in size and appearance to the older Giant 

 Crimson, but it is much earlier, more prolific, and bears fruit which is much more thick-walled. We predict 

 that this Pepper will surpass even World Beater in its unusual popularity. It is especially adapted to the 

 more northerly districts where the later varieties will not fully mature. Early Giant will produce fruits 

 averaging 4^ by 3^ inches — thirty fruits will fill a ^g-bushel basket — and they are unusually heavy. The 

 vines grow to a height of about 20 inches and are abundantly productive. We recommend this seed with 

 great confidence. Price, delivered: Pkt. 25 cts.; oz. $1.25; y 4 lb. $4; lb. $15. 



World Beater The standard main-season Pepper 



Days to maturity, 140. We consider this New Jersey-grown strain of World Beater to be thoroughly 

 representative of the type. In shape it is somewhat similar to Early Giant (illustrated below), perhaps 

 slightly longer. World Beater is a heavy-cropping, thick-walled Pepper, which indicates good shipping 

 qualities. Our strain is recommended to the most critical growers from Florida to New York. Price, de- 

 ivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; y 4 lb. $1.25; lb. $4; 5 lbs. or more, $3.75 per lb. 



Large Sweet Squash (sunnybrook strain) 



Days to maturity, 140. This is a slightly larger strain of the well-known Squash or Tomato Pepper, a 

 variety which has been grown in New Jersey for many years. The outstanding feature of this Pepper is its 

 unusually fine flavor when pickled, causing it to be in great demand on many markets. It produces a vine 

 about 15 inches high and is quite prolific. The thick-fleshed fruits will average about 3 inches in diameter 

 and 2 inches deep. This is a much larger type of Pepper than that offered as Topepo, erroneously 



reported to be a cross between Stone Tomato and Ruby King Pepper. The 

 Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture 

 has officially reported that there is no tomato blood in the so-called 

 >o. Price, delivered: Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; V 4 lb. $1.25; 

 lb. $4; 5 lbs. or more, $3.75 per lb.
