Sweet Pepper Ruby King 



The Most Popular large Fruited Pepper, Thick Fleshed, Sweet. Mild and 



Attractive 



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. 



Sweet Pepper Early Neapolitan 



Valuable on account of its extreme earliness. It can be marketed away 

 ahead of any of its class. It is continuously prolific. Fruits 2 inches in 

 diameter, and about 4 inches long, tapering from the shoulder. The flesh is 

 solid and extremely mild in flavor. Neapolitan is an upright variety meaning 

 that the fruits are borne in an upright position instead of hanging down like 

 most other sorts. Price, oz. 55c., M lb. $1.75, lb. $6.00.

SWEET PEPPER 

 WORLDBEATER 



One of the Best Large Peppers 

 Yet Introduced 



Because of its extra thick flesh World 

 Beater is the best shipping variety known, and 

 it cannot be beaten for jVIarket Gardeners' 

 purposes. This variety was obtained by 

 crossing two other well known varieties, viz., 

 Chinese Giant and Ruby King. 



It is just as early as the last named variety 

 and about as large as the formr. The flavor 

 is extremely mild and can be eaten raw without 

 burning. The fruits are well colored when 

 fully ripe: 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., J4 lt>- $1.75, 

 lb. $6.00.
