PEPPER. (Pfeffer.) 



Sow the seed early in April in the hot-bed, and transplant into the 

 open ground when the weather is warm and settled. The plants should 

 be set in warm, mellow soil, in drills three feet apart, and about two 

 feet apart in the drill; or the seed may be sown at once into the open 

 ground when all danger from frost is past, and thinned to the same 

 distance as above. The pepper is much used in pickles, and is very ex- 

 tensively cultivated.

New Celestial. 



Celestial. Not only a most useful pepper, but one of the 

 most beautiful plants in existence. The plant begins to set 

 its peppers earl}' in the season and continues till frost, 

 branching freely and bearing profusely. The peppers up to 

 the time they are full grown, are of a delicate, creamy yel- 

 low color, and when fully grown change to an intense, vivid 

 scarlet, making a plant, when loaded with fruit, part of one 

 color and part of another, an object of the most striking beau- 

 ty and oddity. The peppers are the shape as shown in the 

 cut, two to three inches long, of clear, sharp flavor, and supe- 

 rior for any of the uses to which peppers can be put. Pkt. 

 5 cts.; oz. 30 cts.

 in color. Very pungent. Pkt. 5 cts.; oz. 30 cts ; J lb. 90 cts.

 similar to the preceding. Pkt. 5 cts. ; oz. 30 cts. ; J lb. 90 cts. 



Kaleidoscope Pepper. 



Kaleidoscope Pepper. Beautiful and useful as Celes- 

 tial is, Kaleidoscope, though entirely different, is in every 

 respect vastly superior to it. It is of beautiful habit, having 

 long wavy branches, which are loaded with drooping fruit. 

 From the time the peppers form until fully grown, they are of a 

 light, yellowish cream color. When fully grown they com- 

 mence to change color, first to a lovely canary yellow, then 

 to a deep orange, then to a rose or pink, and so on through 

 different shades until they are an intense scarlet, vivid and 

 luminous As may be imagined, a plant bearing hundreds 

 of peppers which show six or eight distinct colors is an object 

 of more than ordinary beauty. It is sure to become a favorite 

 pot plant as well as a useful vegetable. It grows very freely 

 in the garden or in pots and bears enormously. Its flavor is 

 clear and sharp, and for any use to which a pepper can be 

 put, it is second to none. Pkt. 15 cts.
