Chinese 

 Giant 



The Finest, Largest and 



Handsomest 



Pepper of Them All 



Chinese Giant is certainly a wondei 

 The plants are of strong, stocky growth, 

 of bushy, erect habit, growing 18 iuche= 

 to 2 feet in height, with abundant foliage 

 The compact plants are very prolific, set 

 ting 3 to 4 extra large fruits at the bas 

 quite early in the season, which ripei 

 while a second crop is setting on th 

 branches. The fruit is quite square it 

 appearance, while the flesh is thick and 

 very mild, being entirely free from an} 

 fiery flavor. 



Without exception every one of my 

 customers who has ever grown the Chinese 

 Giant has pronounced it the finest and 

 largest pepper he has ever seen.

Mauk's Improvet 

 Ruby King 



This pepper was introduced to the Ameil 

 I public more than a decade ago, and it 



^e took conspicuous place and became tl 



leader of the sweet red sorts. I have eve- 

 year sought to improve this already good pe 

 per. I can truthfully claim that every ye 

 ray strain of Euby Kiug is better than t^ 

 year before. I have furnished this seed 

 teus of thousands of gardeners with the mii 

 satisfactory results, and my strain of tl 

 splendid stock is now noted for perfection 

 form, large size, brilliance of color, and swe^ 

 mild flavor. So prominent are these desiral: 

 features that the words "Maule's Improve^ 

 are properly attached to the name. T 

 Ruby King pepper attains a larger size th 

 Sweet Mountain or anj^ other sort excepti' 

 Chinese Giant, and is excellent in every ws
