Frotsclier's Tabasco. 



Frotscher'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. 



Red Cluster. A variety of which the 

 pods grow in bunches upright like the 

 Chili, which the pods resemble, but are 

 a little larger. Quite distinct and orna- 

 mental on account of the bright fruit and 

 compact growth of the plant. It is hot 

 and pungent. 



Celestial. Beautiful Chinese novelty, 

 starts to bear early and continues until 

 frost. Until fully ripe the Peppers are 

 of a delicate creamy yellow, then sudden- 

 ly change to an intense, vivid scarlet, 

 carried upright. Superior quality, fair 

 size, clear, sharp flavor. Valuable for 

 pickles and pepper sauce. 



Red Cherry. A small roundish variety, 

 very hot and productive. 



Chinese Giant, Double the size of 

 Ruby King and equally as mild. The com- 

 pact 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 

 garden. 



Red Cherry. 



Long Red Cayenne. 



Long Red Cayenne. Is very hot and 

 pungent. Cultivated here and used for 

 pepper sauce and seasoning purposes. 

 There are two varieties, one is long and 

 straight, and the other like shown in cut, 

 which is the only kind we keep. 



Bird Eye. Small as the name indicates. 

 It is very hot and used principally for 

 pepper vinegar. 



Golden Dawn Mango. Plants quite 

 dwarf, but very prolific. Fruit medium 

 size and of inverted bell-shape, rich 

 golden yellow, with very thick, sweet, 

 mild-flavored flesh.
