PEPPER. 



RUBY I^'IN'G. — I lifne an extra tiue stocK of this 

 IHipular market pepper of my own growing that I know 

 to be true and nniform. Pepper seed mix easily and 

 it is sometimes hard to get strletly pure seed. Those 1 

 am offering this season, however, of the Ruby King I 

 know to be straight, as we grew only the one variety, 

 and that being exceptionally fine, with no other va- 

 riety OD the place,., my seed Is bound to be straight 

 and pui;e. The" plants of the Kuby King grow about 

 two feeij high and produce fine crops of handsome, 

 large, scaj'let fruit which ripens somewhat earlier 

 than molft other varieties. Flesh thick, sweet and 

 mild : especially fine for salads, or stuffed for man- 

 goes. The b°st market variety. Pkt. 5c ; oz 20c ; 1-4 

 11). eoc ; lb. $2.00. 



CHINESE GrlAlSrT. — Flesh thick and mild; re- 



ijuhes a long growing season, so plants should be .set 

 early. '^ The peppers grew much larger than Ruby 

 King, and of a bright scarlet color when ripe. The 

 plant is strong and vigorous. The extreme size of the 

 pepoers asnalfv surprise all who grow them. Pkt. 10c; 

 oz. 40r ; 1-4 lb. .$1.25; lb. $4.00.
