Grow Peppers - Always Money Makers. 



German, Pfeffer. French, Piment. 



The hot, pungeht flavor of a Pepper is In Inverse ratio to its size, the small Peppers being the hottest, while the large varieties are quite mild In 

 flavor. Every vegetable garden should have several varieties, while some are sufficiently beautiful to include in the flower garden. In the culture of 

 Peppers use the same methods as for Egg Plant. The plants need quite as much heat to perfect them, but mature sooner and may be sown later, or 

 even planted out of doors after warm weather has fairly set in. No trouble whatever to grow, when once up. Guano, hen dung or any other bird ma- 

 nure hoed into the surface soil when the plants are about six inches high, will wonderfully increase the quality of the fruit. 



RUBY KING — 3— An improved American sort, reaching the largest 

 size yet retaining the symmetrical shape of the smaller sorts. It

CORAL GEM BOUQUET- 8— The illustration above fails to do jus- 

 tice to this beautiful little variety. It is impossible in an en- 

 graving to show how completely covered are the little plants 

 with hundreds of the small bright red Peppers. The single 

 fruit illustrated is of naturol size and so thickly set on the dwarf 

 plants as to give each plant the appearance of a "Bouquet of

 rapid-selling article- Pkt. 5c, oz. 30c, lb. $1.00.

RHUBARB, or PIE PLANT. 



German, Rhubarher. French, Rhubarbe. Spanish, Bastardo. 

 Swedish, Rabarber. 



Rhubarb, familiarly known as Pie Plant, is cultivated in gardens 

 for its stalks, which are used for pies and tarts. Immense quantities 

 are now annually sold in all the large markets. No private garden 



should be with- 

 out it. Rhubarb 

 succeeds best in 

 deep, somewhat 

 retentive soil. 

 The richer its 

 condition and the 

 deeper stirred 

 the better. Sow 

 in drills an inch 

 deep, and thin 

 out the plants to 

 6 in. apart. In 

 the fall trans- 

 plant the young 

 plants into high- 

 ly manured soil, 

 setting them 3 

 feet apart each 

 way, and give a 

 dressing of 

 coarse manure 

 every fall. The 

 stalks should not 

 be used until the 

 third year, nor 

 plant allowed to 

 exhaust itself by 

 running to seed. 



BUCKBEE'S WESTERN MARKET— Finest variety, very productive. 

 Fine large size and very early. Has a flavor similar to the goose- 

 berry. This is without doubt the finest variety in existence. 

 Pkt. 5c, oz. 10c, }4 lb 35c, }4 lb. 60c, lb. ?1.00.

 planting the roots. I have well established roots of the above 

 variety. Price by mail prepaid, 30 cents each ; $2.00 per dozen. 

 By exprestt or freight at purchaser's expense, 15 cents each; 

 $1.50 a dozeu 100 for only $7.50.
