 cessful grower. It is fully as prolific as Ruby King, 

 much stronger in growth and foliage as well as larger 

 in fruit. The flesh runs from ^ to f inch in thickness, 

 and is exceptionally mild and pleasant in flavor.

° ^ ductive. The peppers when young 



are of a bright deep green color, without any shade of purple; when ripe they are of a very

fe bright ruby red ; one of the best for stuffed pickles. The meat or walls 



are quite thick, crisp and tender. Lb., S2.00; li lb., 50c.; oz., 20c.; }i oz., 13c. 

 Chinese Giant DoulJle the size of "Ruby King." Not only is it early in ripen- 



^1 ing and productive for so large a pepper, but its size wiU cause it to 



sell most readily. The fruits are of thick blocky form and of glossy scarlet. They grow 

 four or five inches broad at the top, and are of equal length. All uniformly large. The 

 flesh is mild and unusually thick; it makes an excellent salad sliced and served like tomatoes.
