Red Cluster. 
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. 
Bell or Bull Nose. Is a large oblong 
variety which is not sweet or mild, as 
thought by some people. The seeds are 
very hot. Used for pickling. 
Coral Gem Bouquet. One of the finest 
of the small sized varieties. Beautiful 
bright red pods so thickly set as to give 
it the appearance of a bouquet of corals. 
As a potted plant for florists 
proved a most rapid selling article. 
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.

Ruby King. 
Ruby King (Sweet.) This variety 
grows to a larger size than the Sweet 
Spanish or Monstrous, and is of different 
shape. The fruit is from 5 to 6 inches 
long by about 3 to 4 inches in diameter, 
and of bright red color. It is remarkably 
mild and pleasant in flavor, and can be 
sliced and eaten as a salad the same as 
the Sweet Spanish or Monstrous. 
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 en the branches. Very 
vigorous, hardy grower, and a valuable 
variety for either the home or market 
garden. 
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. 
Frotscher’s Tabasco. 
Frotscher’s Adam’s Early Corn is True to Name.
