Maule's 

 Tomato Pepper 



The illustration herewith, taken from a 

 photograph, is an excellent representation 

 )f this new red pepper. As Implied by its 

 lame, in shape and general appearance 

 t very much resembles a tomato, so much 

 io that nine persons out of ten, seeing it 

 jreen or ripe, would at first glance say it 

 ,vas a tomato. I secured the seed from a 

 lepper specialist, who has been shipping 

 t for a number of years past with great 

 uiccess to the New York and Boston mar- 

 kets, where he has Invariably secured the 

 ilghest market prices. It is of upriglit 

 jrowth and must not be confused with the 

 Ited Squash; it is a iuuch better pepper 

 nery way, enormously productive, and 

 :an be eaten out of the hand like an 

 ipple, being of mild and delicate flavor. 

 [ have grown it at Pan mure for 8 years, 

 ivhere it has excited the admiration of all 

 visitors. As soon as its merits become 

 known, it is sure to prove a profitable 

 market variety. It stays in bearing right 

 through the season from early June until 

 frost; and bulk for bulk will outyield even 

 such a productive variety as Ruby King 

 two to one, taking the entire season 

 through. If you are raising peppers for 

 profit you should certainly include Maule's 

 Tomato Pepper in your order. 



Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 35 cents; 

 \ pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50.

535 Maule's 

 New Red Hot Pepper 



Also called Ladyfinger Pep- 

 per. Any of my customers 

 who desire a red hot pepper 

 can have it in this variety; it 

 is absolutely the hottest pep- 

 per I know of, except the 

 Little Cayenne. Its shape is 

 very attractive, and will com- 

 mand general attention. The 

 handsome long peppers grow 

 about 5 to 7 inches long. It 

 produces its fruit upright on 



the plant in wonderful pro- ' ' 



fusion. This Is a strong feature, as none of the pep- 

 pers are apt to rot at the ends. Maule's New Red 

 Hot Peppers are in great demand in all oui Ea«tein 

 cities, and are frequently shipped in car lots by 

 many of my market gardener customers in South 

 Jersey to both the New York and Boston markets.
