UlsChristmas Pepper, 



For several years wc have 

 made a specialty of this Pep- 

 per at our greenhouses, where 

 we have grown several thou- 

 sands in a season. They are 

 ready for the market in Oc- 

 tober and November, lasting 

 until Christmas.and the 

 plants have sold like the pro- 

 \erbial "hot cakes." The 

 plants grow about 12 to 15 in. 

 high and are covered with 

 their scarlet fruit which stays 

 on for months. It is a selec- 

 tion from the Celestial Pepper, 

 but is now entirely distinct 

 irom it; the fruit is smaller, 

 more chunky and the plants 

 t;row more compact, while 

 the fruit is borne right above 

 the foliage as shown in our 

 illustration, and therefore pre- 

 sent themselves to best ad- 

 vantage. This Pepper is of 

 easiest culture. It is one of 

 the prettiest pot plants and 

 everybody can be successful 

 with it. Complete cultural 

 directions are printed on each 

 package. 250 seeds, 25c.; 

 lOOO seeds, 75c. The seed 

 we offer is of our own saving.

 produce grand flowers. Of course, evervone knows that only a certain percentage 

 of double flowers may be expected from seed; but our mixture will produce 

 from 20 to 30 per cent of doubles; remainder will be choice, large, single flowers.
