 SUPERIOR STOCKS 



PEPPER 



Perfection or Pimiento 



The Sweetest Pepper Ever Grown. Absolutely Without Pungency 



Perfection Pimiento Pepper is the sweetest of sweet peppers; there being 

 not a trace of pungency perceptible to the taste. The peppers are of a 

 size very suitable for stuffing purposes and are delicious when prepared 

 for the table in that way. 



It is so smooth that it is quite easy to get the skins off by boiling a few 

 minutes; or the skins can be pared off with a knife. 



The plants are very productive and the peppers, which, when ripe, are 

 a beautiful scarlet in color, hold more edible meat than any other sweet 

 variety. Perfection or Pimiento is much sought after for pickles, cutting 

 up in salads, and for flavoring. (See illustration). Price, oz. 65c, 

 H lb. $2.25, lb. $8.00.

Ruby King 



Ruby King is one of the most popular large-fruited sweet peppers grown. 

 It is held in high estimation by the market gardeners and is equally valuable 

 for the home gardeners. The plants, which are vigorous, grow to a height of 

 about two feet, and are clothed with rich, dark green foliage. 



The fruits average about five inches long by three inches in diameter and 

 are usually three lobed. The color is a pleasing deep green, which turns to a 

 glowing ruby red when ripe and the plant is a prolific bearer presenting a most 

 attractive appearance when showing its fruit in various stages of development. 



The flesh is exceedingly thick, sweet and mild making it a desirable and 

 favorite sort for slicing, salads, stuffing, etc. (See engraving.) Price, oz. 55c, 

 14 lb. $1.75, lb. $6.00.

 peppers, and cannot be beaten for Market Gardeners' purposes.

 flavor is extremely mild and fruits are well colored being at first green and then 

 turning to a rich scarlet red. Worldbeater is very prolific, as many as twenty- 

 four peppers being produced by a single plant. The bushes are dwarf and 

 vigorous with strong stems which carry the fruits well above the soil. (See 

 engraving.) Price, oz. 55c, l /i lb. $1.75, lb. $6.00.
