 far surpasses any recent types on the market. Pkt. 5 and

1 4. Chinese Giant. This monstrous fruiting variety 

 averages 12 to 15 inches in circumference and, notwith- 

 standing its immense size, it is very early and prolific. The 

 stocky, well-branched plants, about 2 feet high, carry so 

 many peppers that in places they seem btinched together. 

 The flesh is thick, tender, mild, sweet and unexcelled when 

 sliced or for stuffing for "mangoes.' When ripe the surface 

 is of a brilliant, varnished scarlet. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; 

 oz. 45 cts.; Vi lb. $1.50; lb. $5.50.

 cts.; 14 lb. $1.15; lb. $4.00. 



"Scarlet Mammoth" Pepper. The largest, earliest ma- 

 turing and most productive, very large, sweet Pepper. The 

 plant is vigoroits and upright, growing larger than that of 

 the Chinese Giant and produces much more fruit. The fruits 

 ripen earlier than any of the very large sorts on the market, 

 and average heavier, as the flesh is imusually thick. Color 

 deep crimson when matured; flavor very mild. Pkt. 5 and 

 10 cts.; oz. 45 cts.; lb. $1.50; lb. $5.50. 



183. Pimento. Undoubtedly the thickest fleshed of all 

 peppers. The peppers are of just the right size, measuring 

 about 3% inches long by 2% inches across the stem, being 

 decidedly conical in shape, and are of a rich bright scarlet 

 color. The meat or flesh is tender and sweet. Pkt. 5 and
