Sweet Pepper 

 Worldbeater 



One of the Best Large 

 Peppers Yet Introduced 



Because of its extra thick 

 flesh World Beater is the best 

 shipping variety known, and it 

 cannot be beaten for Market 

 Gardeners' purposes. This 



variety was obtained by crossing 

 two other well known varieties, 

 viz., Chinese Giant and Ruby 

 King. 



It is just as early as the last 

 named variety and about as 

 large as the former. The flavor 

 is extremely mild and can be 

 eaten raw without burning. 

 The fruits are well colored when 

 fully ripe; being at first green 

 and then turning to a rich 

 scarlet red. Worldbeater is very 

 prolific, as many as twenty- 

 four peppers being produced by 

 a single plant. The bushes 



are dwarf and vigorous with 

 strong stems which carry the 

 fruits well above the soil. (See 

 engraving.) Price, 55c. oz., 

 S1.75 h lb., $6.00 lb. 



Sweet Pepper Early Neapolitan 



Valuable on account of its extreme earliness. 

 It can be marketed away ahead of any of its 

 class. It is continuously prolific. Fruits 2 inches 

 in diameter, and about 4 inches long, tapering 

 from the shoulder. The flesh is solid and 

 extremely mild in flavor. Xeapolitan is an 

 upright variety meaning that the fruits are 

 borne in an upright position instead of 

 hanging down like most other sorts. Price, 

 55c. oz., $1.75 H lb., $6.00 lb. 



Sweet Pepper Ruby King 



The Most Popular large Fruited Pepper, Thick 

 Fleshed, Sweet. Mild and Attractive 



Ruby King is one of the most popular 

 large-fruited sweet peppers grown. It is 

 held in high estimation by the market gar- 

 deners and is equally valuable for the home 

 gardeners. The plants, which are vigorous, 

 grow to a height of about two feet, and 

 are clothed with rich, dark green foliage. 



The fruits average about five inches long by 

 three inches in diameter and are usually three 

 lobed. The color is a pleasing deep green, Hamburg or turnip-rooted parsley 



which turns to a glowing ruby red when ripe 

 and the plant is a prolific bearer presenting a 

 most attractive appearance when showing its 

 fruit in various stages of development. 



The flesh is exceedingly thick, sweet and 

 mild making it a desirable and favorite sort 

 for slicing, salads, stuffing, etc. Price, 55c. 

 oz.,$1.75 1 4 lb.,S6.00ib. 



Hamburg or Turnip 

 Rooted Parsley 



Henderson's Select Strain 



Hamburg or turnip-rooted parsley has r 

 very much resembling a small parsnip with a 

 flavor not unlike celeriac. The loaves are 

 nearly the same in appearance as plain par 

 but it is grown for its roots; which mature 

 quickly. The flesh is white, tender when 

 cooked, and it is greatly in demand in many 

 sections of the country. We offer a special 

 strain for Market Gardeners. [See en- 

 graving.) Price, 10c. oz., 30c. ' 4 lb., SI. 00 

 lb. (10 lbs. and upwards 90c. lb.)
