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 varieties like Sweet Mountain, Bull Nose and Ruby King are used for Man- 
goes, while the small fruited sorts are best for sauces. Sow in hot-beds in 
March or April or sheltered border in May, and when the season is favorable, 
transplant in rows two feet apart and 18 inches in the row, in good, rich, mellow 
ground. 
RUBY KING.—An improved American variety, reaching the 
largest size, often 4 to 6 inches in length and 3% to 4 inches thick,

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 
and 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; 4 pound, 60 cents; pound, $2.00. 
BELL, or BULL NOSE.—Produces a very large-sized pepper, 
which is highly esteemed for pickling, the skin being thicker than 
that of any of the other varieties. Packets, 5 and 10 cents; ounce, 
20 cents; 1% pound, 60 cents; pound, $2.00.

long nor so thick, and are exceedingly pungent when ripe. Re- 
quires a long, warm season. ‘The plants should be started quite 
early in a hot bed. Packets, 5 and 10 cents; ounce, 20 cents; % 
pound, 60 cents; pound, $2.00. js

CHINESE GIANT PEPPER.—This monstrous fruiting variety averages 12 to 15 inches in circumference and, notwith- 
standing its immense size, it is very early and prolific.

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.” When ripe the surface is of a brilliant, varnished scarlet. Packets, 5 and 10 cents;
