Perfection or Pimiento 
_ Sweet Pepper 
The Sweetest Pepper Ever Grown. Absolutely Without Pungency 
688. Perfection Pimiento Pepper is the sweetest of sweet peppers; 
there being not a trace of pungency perceptible to the taste. The. 
peppers are of a size very suitable for filling purposes and are 
delicious when prepared for the table in that way. 
It is so smooth that it is quite easy to get the skins off by ; 
boiling a few minutes; or the skins can be pared off with a knife. 
The plants are very productive and the peppers, which, when 
ripe, are a beautiful scarlet in color, hold more edible meat than 
any other sweet variety. Perfection or Pimiento is much sought 
after for pickles, pulp and pimientos. It is also very much liked 
cut up in salads and also for flavoring. The plants bear until 
cut down by frost. (See engraving.)

Ruby King Sweet Pepper 
The Most Popular large-Fruited Pepper, Thick 
Fleshed, Sweet. Mild and Attractive 
693. 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 gardener. The 
plants, which are vigorous, grow to a height of 
about two feet, and are clothed with rich, dark 
ereen 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 plant is a prolific bearer 
and presents a most attractive appearance when showing its fruit 
in various stages of development. 
The flesh is exceedingly thick, sweet and mild. It is a desirable 
and favorite sort for ‘slicing, salads, stuffing, ete. (See engraving.)

World-Beater Sweet Pepper 
697. World-Beater produces fruits in clusters sometimes so close that 
they appear to be a single bunch. The peppers are first dark green 
in color and change to a very brilliant scarlet when ripe. The flesh 
is the thickest probably ever seen and is extremely mild and sweet 
in flavor. The bush is dwarf and vigorous with strong stems and 
branches which carry the fruits well above the soil. World-Beater 
is also an excellent variety for shipping purposes and is quite as early 
as Ruby King. (See engraving.)

Henderson’s Baby Bell Sweet Pepper 
The Earliest Sweet Pepper, Perfect for the Private Garden 
675. This remarkable little Pepper is particularly well suited to the 
private garden, having qualities which are ideal for that purpose. The 
plants are small and compact, so that they may be planted as close 
as one foot apart in the rows. It is the earliest of all the sweet Peppers, 
yet the fruits are of good size, amply large enough for general use. 
The fruits are most attractive in appearance, the color is a brilliant, 
vivid, waxy scarlet, and the flavor is delightfully piquant, and free from 
pungency. It bears continuously so that, if the early fruits are plucked 
and used when green, the plants will continue to yield bountifully, and 
produce a heavy crop of fruits later in the season. It is also more 
rugged than many sorts, and will succeed in a less favorable soil. 
Price, 20c. pkt., 3 pkts. 50¢., oz. $1.00.
