GOLDEN UPRIGHT. — This new Pepper is entirely distinct from 

 all other varieties and is undoubtedly the best yellow Pepper; the

 pleasant ; indeed sd much so that they can be sliced and prepared into 

 a most appetizing salad with vinegar and pepper, while for stuffing or 

 Pepper hash they are the best. Pkt., 10 cts.; ^oz.,2octs.; oz., 35
