PEPPER CONT'D 



693 RUBY KING 



The Most Popular Large-Fruited Pep- 

 per, Thick Fleshed, Sweet. Mild and 

 Attractive. 



Ruby King is held in high estimation by 

 the market gardeners and is equally val- 

 uable for the home gardener. 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. 



The flesh is exceedingly thick, sweet and 

 mild. (See illustration.) 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., 85c; % lb., $2.50. 



697 WORLD BEATER (Sweet) 



World-Beater produces fruits in clusters. 

 The peppers are first dark green in color 

 and change to a very brilliant scarlet when 

 ripe. (See illustration.) 

 Price, pkt., 10c; oz., 85c; X lb., I2.50.J 



CULTU RE. — Sow late in May in the latitude of New York, in very rich soil, cover the seed one inch. When 

 grown alone the hills should be eight feet apart each way. As soon as the seedlings are out of the ground sprinkle 

 with air-slaked lime or land plaster mixed with dry garden soil or ashes. This prevents the ravages of striped 

 beetle. 1 oz. for 30 hills.
