Chinese Giant— 3— Double the size of Ruby King and equally as 

 Mild! The compact plants produce four or more extra large 

 Peppers at the base very early in the season, which ripen while 

 a second crop is setting on the branches. Very vigorous, hardy 

 grower, and a valuable variety for either the home or market 



earden. Large Pkt. 10c. ; oz. 30c. ; 2 oz, 50c. ; H lb. 90c. 



Sweet Mountain— Plants very vigorous and productive. Fruit laree. 

 long, very smooth and handsome, being, when green, of a 

 bright, deep green color, entirely free from any purple tinge, 

 and when mature of a rich red. Flesh very thick, sweet and 

 mild flavored. Well suited to use for stuffed pickles or man- 

 goes. Pkt. 4c.; oz. 15c. ; 2 oz. 28c. ; H lb. 50c. 



Black Nubian— 7— A most novel sort. Long, tapering, sharp pointed 

 fruit, 6 inches long, and of a deep, glossy black color until fully 

 ripe, when they change to a dark orange red. Fruit is very 

 fiery, and is superior as a flavoring for piccalilli, chowchow, 

 etc. Pkt. 4c. ; oz. 20c. ; 2 oz. 35c. : H lb. 60c. 



Long Red Cayenne— 9— A long, slim-pointed pod, and when ripe of a

 fruit the size of a hickory nut. Pkt. 4c, ; oz. 20c. ; 2 oz. 35c. : M lb. 60c.

 Long Red Cayenne (8) except color, which is of a beautiful 

 golden yellow shade. Pkt. 4c; oz. 20c ; 2 oz. 35c; H lb. 60c. 



Euby King— 10— An improved American sort, reaching the largest 

 size, yet retaining the symmetrical shape of the smallest sorts. 

 It is very bright colored, temptingly sweet mild flavored 

 and one of the best for stuffed pickles or mangoes. Pkt 4c. ; 

 oz. 18c. : 2 oz, 30c, ; H, lb. 50c. 



Celestial— 5— Beautiful Chinese novelty. Starts to bear early and 

 continues until frost. Until fully ripe, the Peppers are of a 

 delicate creamy yellow color, then suddenly change to an in- 

 tense, vivid scarlet, carried upright. Superior quality, fair 

 size, clear, sharp flavor. Valuable for pickles and pepper 

 sauce. Pkt. 4c. ; oz, 15c ; 2 oz. 28c : H lb. 50c. 



Eed Chili— 4— Used in the manufacture of pepper sauce. Pods 

 sharply conical, and exceedingly pungent. Requires a long, 

 warm season. Pkt 4c. ; oz. 15c ; 2 oz. 25c. ; H lb. 40c,

 mangoes or for mixed pickles. Flesh thick and less pungent than most 

 other sorts. Pkt 3c ; oz. 12c; 2 oz. 22c. ; H lb. 40c. 



Coral Gem Bouquet— 8 -The single fruit illustrated is of natural size and so 

 thickly set on the dwarf plant as to give each plant the appearance of a 

 '•Bouquet of Coral." As a potted plant for florists it has proved a most 

 rapid selling article. Pkt Sc.; oz. 30c,; 2 oz. 55c.; % lb. $1.00.

 on stiff stems. The fruits are large and handsome. Pkt 4c; oz. 20c; 2 oz. 

 35c. ; H lb. 60c

 mixture. Price per Pkt. only 5c ; oz. 20c. : 2 oz. 35c. ; Vt, lb. 60c. 



PIE PLANT, or RHUBARB 



German, Rhubaebeb. French, Rhubabbe; Spanish. Bastabdo; 

 Swedish, Rababbeb. 



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 inches apart. 

 Buckbee's Western Market— Finest variety, very productive. Fine, large size 

 and very early. Has a flavor similar to the Gooseberry. This is. with 

 out doubt, the finest variety in existence. Pkt 6c ; oz. 10c. ; 2 oz. 18c; H lb, 



35c ; y» lb. 60c. ; lb. $1.00.

 roots. I have well established roots of the above variety. Price, by 

 mail, prepaid. 20c. each: $2.00 per dozen. By express or freight at purcnas' 

 er's expense. 15c each; $1.50adozen; 100 for only $7.50.
