lilsChristmas Pepper. 



For several years we 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- 

 verbial "hot cakes." The 

 plants grow about 12 to 15 in. 

 high and are covered with 

 their scarlet fruit which stays 

 '.n for months. It is a selec- 

 ti n from the Ce'estial Pepper, 

 is now entirely distinct 

 ir.)m it; the fruit is smaller, 

 more chunky and the plants 

 grow 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 

 ever>'body can be successful 

 w;ith it. Complete cultural 

 directions are printed on each 

 package. 250 seeds, 35c.; 

 lOOO seeds, 75c. The seed 

 we offer is of our own saving.
