GROW PEPPERS!==ALWAYS MONEY MAKERS! 



German Pfcffer. French, Piment 

 One ounce of seed will produce 1,500 plants. 



The hot, pung-eut flavor of a Pepper is in inverse ratio to its size, the small Peppers being the hottest, while the large varieties- 

 are ciuite mild in flavor. Everj' vegetable garden shouldi have several varieties, while some are sufSciently beautiful tt« 

 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 

 Coi.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 gi-ow, when once up. Guano, hen dung, or any other bird manure, hoed iuto 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 larg- 

 est size, yet retaining the symmetrical shape of the smaller

RHUBARB, OR PIE PLANT. 



German, Rlnilmrher. French. Rhubarbe. Spanish, Bastardo. 

 Swedish. Baharber. 

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

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

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

 garden should be without it. Rhubarb succeeds best in deep, 



somewhat re- 

 tentive soil 

 The richer its 

 condition, and 

 the deeper il 

 is stirred the 

 better. Sow 

 in drills at 

 inch deep, and 

 thin out the 

 plants to 6 in. 

 apart. In the 

 fall trans- 

 plant the 

 young plants 

 into highly 

 manured soil, 

 setting then) 

 3 feet apart 

 each way, 

 and give a 

 dressing o 1 

 coarse ma- 

 nure every 

 fall. The 

 stalks should 

 not be used 

 until the 

 third year, 



and the plant never allowed to exhaust itself bv running to seed. 



BUCKBEE'S WESTERN MARKET— Finest variety, very produc- 

 tive. Fine large size and very early. Has a flavor similar to 

 the gooseberry. This is without doubt the finest variety in ex- 

 istence. Pkt. 4c, oz. 10c, 1^ lb. 35c, 3^ lb. 60c, lb. $100. 



RHUBARB ROOTS— A saving of from two to three years is made by 

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

 variety^ Price by mail prepaid, 25c, each; $2.50 per dozen. By 

 express or freight at purchaser's expense. 15c, each. $1.50 a doz,
