Perfection or Pimiento (Sweet) 



The Sweetest Pepper Ever Grown. Absolutely Without Pungency 

 ftfiO Perfection Pimiento Pepper is the sweetest of sweet peppers; there being 

 000 not a trace of pungency perceptible to the taste. The peppers are of a 

 size very suitable for stuffing purposes and are delicious when prepared for the 

 table in that way. 



It is so smooth that it is quite easy to get the skins off by boiling a few minutes; 

 or the skins can be pared off with a knife. 



The plants are very productive and the peppers, which, when ripe, are a beauti- 

 ful scarlet in color, hold more edible meat than any other sweet variety. Perfection 

 or Pimiento is much sought after for pickles, cutting up in salads, and for flavoring.
