PEPPERS 



PFEB'FERS 



Ounce to 1,000 plants 

 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 varie- 

 ties like Sweet Mountain, Bull Nose and Ruby King are used for Mangoes, while the 

 small fruited sorts are best for sauces. Sow in hot beds in March or April, or on a 

 warm sheltered border in May, and when the season is favorable, transplant in rows 2 

 feet apart and 18 inches in the row, in good, rich, mellow ground. 



Rutty King-.— An improved American variety, reaching the 

 largest size, often 4 to 6 inches in length and 3^ to 4 inches thick, yet 

 retaining the symmetrical shape of the smaller sorts. It is very bright 

 colored and the flesh is beautiful, sweet and mild-flavored. One of the 

 best for stuffed pickles. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 2 ounces, 35 

 cents; X pound, 60 cents; pound, |2.00.

 in length by 2 inches in diameter; very smooth and handsome, being 

 when unripe of a bright deep green color, entirely free from any purple 

 tinge, and when matured of a rich red. Flesh very sweet, thick and 

 mild flavored. Well suited to use as a stuffed pickle. Packets, 5 cents 

 and 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; % pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.50.

 of any of the other varieties. Packet, 5 cents and 10 cents; ounce, 20 

 cents; % pound, 50 cents; pound, $1.50.

 averages 12 to 15 inches in circumference, and, notwithstanding its im- 

 mense 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."
