CULTURE. Peppers are indispensable as a seasoning for soups 

 and meats. The large varieties are mainly used for this purpose 

 and pickling. The mild, sweet varieties, like Sweet Mountain, 

 Bull Nose and Ruby King, are used for Mangoes, while the small- 

 fruited sorts are best for sauces. Sow in hotbeds in March or 

 April or sheltered border in May; when the season is favorable 

 transplant in rows 2 feet apart and 18 ins. in the row, in good, 

 rich, mellow ground. 



263. 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 bunched 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. 10 els.; oz. 55 cts. ; 

 Vi lb. $1.90; lb. .$7.00. 



284. World Beater, a cross between Chinese Giant and 

 Ruby King, having the shape of Ruby King, except broader 

 at the pointed end and almost the size of Chinese Giant. Far 

 more prolific than Chinese Giant and fully as early as Ruby 

 King. An exceptional all-around pepper. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 

 35 cts.; '/4 lb. $1.15; lb. $4.00. 



274. Bell, or Bull Nose. Produces a very large-sized 

 pepper, which is highly esteemed for pickling. Flesh is 

 sometimes quite hot in flavor. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; '/4 lb. 

 $1.00; lb. $3.50. 



10263. "Scarlet Mammoth" Pepper. The largest, 

 earliest maturing and most productive, very large, sweet 

 Pepper. The plant is vigorous 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 

 unusually thick. Color deep crim-son when matured; flavor 

 very mild. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 55 cts.; V4 lb. $1.90; lb. $7.00. 



253. Long Red Cayenne, a long red variety, very hot, 

 and is generally used for seasoning soups. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 

 30 cts.; Vt lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50.

 sugary flavor; fine-grained, very productive, and keeps well.

283. Ruby 

 King. An im- 

 proved American 

 variety, reaching 

 the largest size, 

 often 4 to 6 ins.

 started early in a hotbed. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; Va lb.
