Perfection. 



PEBFECTION*. — This pepper is of the 

 Pimento type and has been brought up to a 

 degrree of perfection which we have not 

 found in any other strain. This variety 

 is especially desirable for canners. It is 

 also one of the best for the home garden, 

 both green or ripe. It is so smooth and 

 uniform in shape that the skins can be 

 easily slipped off after burning- over a hot 

 nre for a few seconds or by boiling a few 

 minutes in hot water. It can also be pared 

 like an apple by using a sharp knife.
