W. F. Allen's Plant and Seed Catalogue, Salisbury, Md. 



PEPPERS. 



RUBY KING. — The plants grow about two feet high and produce 

 fine crops of handsome large, scarlet fruit which ripens somewhat 

 earlier than any other variety. Flesh thick, sweet and mild; espe- 

 cially fine for salad, or stuffed for mangoes. I place this variety at 

 the head of the list because it is generally considered the best of all 

 the varieties. Pkt., 5c. ; oz., 20c. ; quarter lb., 50c. ; lb., $1.75. 



LONG RED CAYENNE. — The conical shaped fruit is from 

 three to four inches long and of a bright red color, and borne in great 

 profusion. This is a standard household variety. Pkt.. 5c. ; oz., 20c. ; 

 quarter lb., 50c. ; lb., $2.00. 



BULL NOSE. — A standard sweet-flavored, scarlet sort. Plants 

 two feet high, prolific, and quite early in ripening. The sweet, scarlet 

 fruits are three inches in length and two inches in diameter. Pkt., 5c. ; 

 oz., 20c; quarter lb., 50c; lb., $1.75. 



CHINESE GIANT. — 'Flesh thick and solid ; requires a long grow- 

 ing season, so plants should be set early. The peppers grow much 

 larger than Ruby King, and of a bright scarlet color when ripe. The 

 plant is strong, of vigorous growth, being about two feet high when 

 fully grown, and very prolific. The extreme size of the peppers is a 

 great surprise to all who grow them. Pkt., 5c. ; oz., 35c. ; quarter lb., 

 75c; lb., $2.75.

 roots large size, always smooth ; rich, sweet flavor,

 crown, hence the name. Pkt., 5c ; oz., 10c. ; quarter

SCARLET GLOBE. — This new radish has espe- 

 cially a good reputation as a forcing sort. Its pecu- 

 liarity is that it will bear forcing without becoming 

 pithy in character or suffering injury to its flavor. Its 

 attractive shape is shown in the illustration ; its 

 color is rich scarlet, which has a small top, and is in 



all respects a high-bred radish. I have planted a 

 number of varieties for bunching and for early mar- 

 ket, but until I can find something better I shall not 

 plant anything except the Scarlet Globe hereafter. 

 Pkt., 5c. ; oz., 10c ; quarter lb., 20c ; lb., 50c ; 10 lbs. 

 by express, $3.50. 



WHITE TIP SCARLET TURNIP,— Color is scarlet and 

 white, as indicated by its name. It is extremely quick to mature, being 

 ready for the table in seventeen to twenty days from time of sowing 

 seed ; is invaluable for planting under glass as well as for the open 

 air ; the skin is very smooth. Market gardeners find it a quick-selling 

 sort at good prices ; for the private home garden it is no less satisfac- 

 tory. Pkt.. 5c ; oz., 10c ; quarter lb., 20c ; lb., 50c ; 10 lbs. by express 

 $3.50. 



EARLY DARK RED. — This radish is a great favorite with mar- 

 ket gardeners on account of its size and attractive appearance. Market 

 gardeners, as well as private gardeners, who have not tried this variety 

 will find it to give entire satisfaction. Its beautiful color is implied in 

 Its name. It makes very rapid growth and is one of the sweetest and 



tenderest radishes in the whole list. Pkt., 5c. ; oz., 10c. ; quarter lb., 



20c ; lb., 60c ; 10 lbs. by express, $3.50.
