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 stuffing 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, cutting up in salads, and for flavoring. (See en- 

 graving.) Price, 20c. pkt., 90c. oz., $3.00 V± lb. 



Chinese Giant Sweet Pepper 



677. A mammoth scarlet variety, averaging 15 inches in circum- 

 ference. It is early and prolific. The flesh is thick, tender, mild, 

 sweet and unexcelled for use as a salad, or for stuffing for "Mangoes." 

 Price, 15c. pkt., 90c. oz., $3.00 y± lb.

 which are vigorous, grow to a height of about two feet, 

 and are clothed with rich, dark green foliage.

 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. (See engraving.)

Henderson's Baby Bell Sweet Pepper 



675. This variety is well suited to the private garden. 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. 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.
