THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 



Ruby King Pepper. 



scarlet ; fleshy, and mild in 

 seeds, which to the seed- 

 grower is a great drawback, 

 although an advantage in 

 cooking. 



Ruoy King Capsicum. 

 — A very productive variety, 

 with large, red seed-vessels, 

 somewhat variable in shape, 

 square near the stalk, and 

 more or less tapering at the 

 top. 



Golden Dawn Capsi- 

 cum. — There are several 

 known strains of Yellow 

 Bell-shaped Capsicums,some 

 of them with erect-growing 

 fruit, and others in which 

 the fruit is pendent. Of 

 these the Golden Dawn 

 Capsicum is the most in- 

 teresting and profitable to 



cultivated which has the 

 seed-vessels much larger 

 and somewhat rounder 

 in shape, but with the 

 furrows very deeply 

 marked, especially to- 

 wards the end of the 

 seed-vessel. It is not 

 unusual, in this variety, to 

 see seed-vessels measuring 

 from 3 to 4 in. across 

 every way. It is a very 

 late kind, and does not 

 keep well. 



Improved Bull-nose, 

 or Sweet Mountain, 

 Capsicum. — A smaller 

 plant, less branching, not 

 so leafy, and decidedly 

 earlier than the Large 

 Bell Capsicum. The seed- 

 vessels also are larger, 

 smoother, and fewer ; in 

 colour a very fine glossy 

 flavour. The pods contain very few 



Golden Dawn Pepper.
