Bed Cherry. 



BED CEERET. — An 

 ornamental as well as 

 useful variety, the plant 

 being tall and bearing 

 profusely small, bright 

 red fruit. The fruit is 

 small, round, very hot, 

 and is largely used for 

 pickles. 



BELL OB BULL 

 NOSE. — Is a large ob- 

 long variety which is not 

 sweet or mild, as thought 

 by some people. The 

 seeds are very hot. Used 

 for pickling. 



GOLDEN DAWN 2EANG0. — Plants quite 

 dwarf, but very prolific. Fruit medium 

 size and of inverted bell shape, rich golden 

 yellow, with very thick, sweet, mild fla- 

 vored flesh. 



SWEET ITALIAN. — (Nocera.) One of 



the most prolific and largest of Sweet 

 Pepper varieties. No other large pepper 

 develops so quickly. Plants are strong and 

 vigorous, grows 2 feet high by 18 inches 

 across, completely ladened with large, 

 handsome fruit. They bear continuously 

 until frost. Single plant bears 30 to 50 

 marketable fruit at one time. The skin and 

 flesh are bright red; the meat is sweet and 

 mild as an apple. Carry well and keep in 

 fine condition a long time. Twelve plants 

 will supply a family throughout the season. 



Sweet Spanish or Monstrous. 



SWEET SPANISH OB MONSTBOUS.— 



A very popular variety, much cultivated. 

 It is very mild, grows to a large size, taper- 

 ing towards the end, and, when green, is 

 used as a salad. Superior for that purpose 

 to any other kind. 



Protscher's Tabasco. 

 PROTSCHER'S TABASCO.— This variety 



is grown for the market as well as for 

 making sauce. It is pungent and strong, 

 also very prolific. It is easily gathered, as 

 the fruit does not adhere to the stem and 

 grows almost erect on the branches, as 

 may be seen in the cut. This variety is 

 used in manufacturing the well-known 

 Tabasco Sauce. It is splendid for family 

 use. 



Steckler's French Market Lettuce is the Best.
