STECKIiER'S ROYAL KIWCJ.— This is a 

 cross of Ruby King and Chinese Giant, 

 which has made it a very attractive vari- 

 ety; it grows to a large size, of very hand- 

 some appearance, of a bright scarlet color 

 when fully ripe and is exceedingly mild, 

 thick, sweet and so mild that it can be 

 eaten raw from the hand. Splendid for 

 stuffing. The strain that we grow runs 

 uniform and true, and is pronounced by 

 market gardeners and shippers to be the 

 finest strain on the market. Packet, 10c. ;

Perfection. 



PERFECTION. — This pepper is of the 

 Pimento type and has been brought up to a 

 degree 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 oft after burning over a hot 

 fire for a few seconds or by bailing a few 

 minutes in hot water. It can also be pared 

 like an apple by using a sharp knife.
