This is a yellow Ruby King, and when I say 

 this much about it, Golilen Queen should need 

 no further description, for as Kubv King is the 

 best of all Il«-<| Peppers, Golden Queen 

 is the best of all Yellows. In color 

 they area rich golden yellow. In size simply 

 remarkable, 6 to 10 inches long and -1 to 5 inches 

 through. These are also similar to Kubv King 

 in productiveness, as high as 20 peppers or mi ire 

 growing on a single plant at one time. In flavor 

 they are so mild and pleasant they can be eaten 

 raw like tomatoes. They have frequently sold 

 in market at double the price of other varieties, 

 and Golden Queen can also be recommended 

 especially for stuffing, as Mangoes. Pkt., li

'S^Miniatare Peppers 



TOM THUMB PEPPER.- As a Winter decorative plant 

 this will be found to be a great acquisition. Grown in pots it 

 will prove very useful for the decoration of the dinner table, or 

 in fact in any situation where a bright color is desirable for effect. 

 The plant is of a dwarf branching habit, scarcelv exceeding 9 

 inches in height. The leaves are small and oval" shaped. The 

 berries, which arc of a u lobular form about the size of a red currant, 

 are of a bright color : they are produced in gTeat profusion on short 

 pedicels, which spring from the axils of the leaves and rise above 

 the foliage, literally covering the plant. The plant produces flowers 

 and bears berries all through the season, and should become quite 

 as popular as the Solanum on account of its free habit of growth and 

 its distinct appearance. This tine new pepper was awarded a first- 

 class certificate of merit by the Royal Horticultural Societvof Lon- 

 don, England. It i> sure lo please every customer who" sows it. 

 1'acket, 15 cts.; 2 packets, 25 cts. 



CORAL GEM BOl'ftVET PEPPER.— Its beautiful little pods 

 )f shining red color arc so thickly set as to give it the aprcaranee of a 

 bouquet of corals, hence its name. Being handsome and attractive 

 it delights every lover of the beautiful. As a pot plant it has proven 

 a most rapid selling article, besides its great beautv, it serves the 

 housekeeper in a most convenient way when pods 'are wanted for 

 ' seasoning. In the open ground the plants grow to a height of from 2-1 to 30 

 tn. so densely set with pods as to bend its br anches. With so mart v desirable 

 qualities combined, it will undoubtedly become one of the most popular 

 as well as profitable in the manufacture of pepper sauce. Pkt, 15c; 2 pits, 25c.

 DECOR ATrVE PLANT AS WELL. 



A gentleman traveling itt China, three years ago, collected several new vege- 

 tables, the most important of which being this superb Pepper. That it is the finest 

 1'epper and one of the most beautiful plants in existence cannot be denied : grown 

 for two years in the gardens of the introducer, it has attracted great attention. 

 The plant begins to set its peppers early in the season and continues until frost, 

 branching freely, and bearing profusely: in fact, it is one of, if not the most 

 productive Pepper ever introduced. The peppers, up to the time they are fully- 

 grown, are of a delicate creamy-yellow color, and when fully grown change to an 

 t intense vivid scarlet, making a plant, when loaded with fruit— part of one color 

 the" best I an( ' P art of tnt -' other— an object of the most striking beauty and oddity. The
