CULTURE. Peppers are ind'-pensable 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. 



14. 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. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 

 40 cts.; '4 lb. $1.25: lb. $4.50. 



World Beater, a cross between Chinese Giant and Ruby 

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

 pointed end and almost the size of Chinese Giant. Far more 

 prolific than Chinese Giant and fully as early as Ruby King. 

 An exceptional aH-around pepper. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 

 35 cts.; '/4 lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50. 



25. Bell, or Bull Nose. Produces a very large-sized 

 pepper, which is highly esteemed for pickling. Flesh is 

 sometimes quite hot in flavor. Pkt. 5 and 10 cts.; oz. 35 cts.; 

 •i lb. 85 cts.; lb. $3.00. 



"Scarlet Mammoth" Pepper, rhe largest, earliest ma- 

 turing and most productive, very large, sweet Pepper. The 

 plant is vigorous and upright, growing larger than that of 

 the Chinese Giant and produces much more fruit. The fruits 

 ripen earlier than any of the very large sorts on the market, 

 and average heavier, as the flesh is unusually thick. Color 

 deep crimson when matured; flavor very mild. Pkt. 5 and 

 10 cts.; oz. 40 cts.; Vt lb. $1.25; lb. $4.50.
