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 cts.; oz. 45 cts.;

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

 more prolific than Chinese Giant and fully as early as Ruby 

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

 30 cts.; V4 lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50.
