Ruby King-. 



BUBT KING. — (Sweet.) This variety 

 grows to a larg^er 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. One of the leading- 

 varieties for shipping-. 



COIiUMBUS. — A large and popular vari- 

 ety of Sweet Pepper. It is mild and sweet 

 and used principally for salad. 



S-weet Spanish or Monstrous. 



SWEET SPANISH OB MONSTROUS. — 



A very popular variety, much cultivated. 

 It is very mild, grows to a large size, 

 tapering: towards the end, and, when green, 

 is used as a salad. Superior for that pur- 

 pose to any other kind. 



^oug* Bed Cayenne. 



I.ONG RED CAYENNE.— Is very hot and 

 pung-ent. Cultivated here and used for 

 pepper sauce and seasoning- purposes. 

 There are two varieties, one is long: and 

 straig:lit, and the other like shown in cut, 

 which is the only kind we keep. Larg-ely 

 planted for drying- and for shipping- to 

 Northern and Eastern markets. 



BED CIiUSTER. — A variety of which the 

 pods grow in bunches uprig-ht like the 

 Chili, which the pods resemble, but are a 

 little larger. Quite distinct and ornamental 

 on account of the bright fruit and compact 

 growth of the plant. It is hot and pungent. 



COBAI. GEM BOUQUET.— One of ther 

 finest of the small sized varieties. Beauti- 

 ful bright red pods so thickly set as to 

 give it the appearance of a bouquet of 

 corals. As a potted plant for florists it has 

 proved a most rapid selling article. 



BED CHEBB7. — 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. 



BEI^I. OB BUI.I. 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. 



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 and for 

 shipping. 



CEZiESTIAI^. — Beautiful Chinese novel- 

 ty; .starts to bear early and continues until 

 frost. Until fully ripe tlie peppers are of 

 a delicate creamy yellow, then suddenly 

 change to an intense vivid scarlet, carried 

 upright. Superior quality, fair size, clear, 

 sharp flavor. Valuable for pickles and 

 pepper sauce. 



GOZ.DEN DAWN MANGO.— 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.
