CORAL 6EM BOUQUET PEPPER. 



Is the finest of the small-sized varieties. Its beau 

 tiful little pods of shining red color are so thickly set 

 as to give it the appearance of a bouquet of coral. As 

 a pot plant, besides its great beauty, it serves the 

 housel^eeper in a most convenient way when pods are 

 wanted for seasoning. In the open ground the plants 

 grow to a height of from 24 to 30 inches, so densely set 

 with pods as to bend its branches down. So many 

 desirable qualities are combined in this, it will un- 

 doubtedly become popular as well as profitable in the 

 manufacture of pepper sauce.

GOLDEN OBLONG PUMPKiN- 



In the illustration the artist has accurately represented the shape 

 of the pumpkins. They grow very uniform, from fifteen to twenty 

 inches in length; the outer color is a rich golden orange, or old gold; 

 the skin, while thin, is tough, making it almost as good a keeper for 

 winter use as the hard-shell winter squashes. The fruit, when 

 young, is dark green, and changes to a rich, golden yellow as it 

 ripens. The flesh is light yellow in color, of very rich, fine quality, 

 jt is thoroughly established, and distinct from all other varieties in 

 cultivation. As to the prolific character of the Golden Oblong, 

 would state that one customer wrote that he counted fourteen good || 

 pumphim on one vine.

MAMMOTH SANDWIClI ISLAND SALSIFY. 



A new and improved type of this excellent vegetable. It produces roots of nearly double the size 

 and weight of the old variety, and of equally good quality. Although of recent introduction, it has 

 been extensively grown for the markets of many of the largo cities. It is very tender and delicious, 

 and resembles a good-sized Parsnip.
