MAULE'S NEAPOLITAN PEPPER, 



531 



Maule s Neapolitan Pepper 



The earliest of all peppers by a week 

 to ten days. I originally named 

 and first offered Neapolitan in 1903. 



If I had not purchased my Panmure Seed Farms this 

 pepper would still be unknown. Nine years ago my atten- 

 tion was attracted to the fact that a few Italian gardeners 

 located near Panmure, were shipping peppers by the carload 

 one to three weeks earlier than, any other peppers could be 

 shipped ; and on investigation I found that for years a small 

 settlement of Italians situated a few miles from my farm had 

 been shipping these peppers to market and realizing thou- 

 sands of dollars. With our trials of other peppers, Neapoli- 

 tan proved itself to be two weeks earlier than any other. 

 When, in addition to this fact, we had good size and mild, 

 piquant flavor, I decided I had secured a money maker. 

 Plants are of strong growth, very stocky, and peppers are 

 borne erect, averaging the size of the illustration. Flesh 

 is very thick and fruit is pale green turning to a brilliant 

 red color. If my customers want peppers from one to three 

 weeks ahead of their neighbors, they must plant Neapolitan. 



Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 45 cts.; quarter lb., $1.25; lb., $4.50.
