 a seasoning; for soups and meats. 

 The larj^e varieties are mainly

 ling. The mild, sweet varieties, 

 like Golden Dawn and Ruby King, are usr 

 for mangoes, wliile the small-fruited sorts aro 

 the best for sauces. Sow in hotbeds in .March 

 or April, or in a warm, sheltered border in 

 May, and, when season is favorable, trans- 

 plant in rows 2 feet apart and 18 inches in 

 row, in good, rich ground. 



Boddington's Selected Chinese 



Giant Double the size of Ruby King, this 

 ' is one of the largest and finest mili 

 red Peppers. Not only is it intensely pro 

 ductive, but "it is as sweet as an apple," anc 

 unusually thick-skinned. Pk(. 10 cts., oz. 40 

 cts., %lb. SI. 26, lb. S4.60. 



Boddington's Hercules. 



Pepper fruits. Produces the biggest fruits of all 

 mild, edible kinds hitherto known. The fruit 

 has solid flesh of good flavor and of a magnifi- 

 cent golden yellow color. There are often at 

 the same time a dozen well-shaped fruits on 



one plant. Its value is still increased by the upright growing of the 

 fruits. They are consequently more exposed to the sun, maturing 

 earlier; and even during wet weather they cannot become so easily 

 rotted as the kinds with hanging fruits, which come too easily in 

 contact with the soil. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 40 cts., y^W). $1.50. 



Boddington's Red Apple. This fine new variety is distin- 



~ £_n guished from all others by the 



extraordinary thickness of its flesh. It belongs to the mild-flavored 

 section and is excellent for the table. The ripe fruits are smooth, and 

 of a splendid brilliant dark scarlet. Average about 4 inches in length 

 and 3 inches in width at the top. Pkt. 20 ctg., 3 for 50 cts. 



This variety is nearly two weeks earlier 

 than any other large mild Pepper. Fruit 

 may be gathered, the last of June from seed sown early in spring. 

 The first fruits average 4'/4 inches in circumference by 4 inches long 

 — the latter fruits growing a little larger ; they are thick-meated and 

 unusuallv mild and sweet. The flesh and skin are bright red. Pkt.

Spanish Bull. (Novelty '09. ) The long, brilliant scarlet fruits 



-J- of Spanish Bull Pepper hang elegantly from the 



tall plant, which resembles a small tree, the well-shaped fruits be- 

 ing of an extraordinary length. Besides they distinguish themselves 

 by a thin skin, a great quantity of pulp and the extreme mildness of 

 their flavor, qualities not only very valuable for dinner-tables, but 

 also for the manufacture of preserves. The Spanish Bull Pepper is 

 a variety which excels almost all other known kinds of Pepper as to 

 delicacy and flavor. It will certainly soon become verv popular and 

 get the preference over all other mild kinds. Pkt. 25 cts., 5 pkts. $1.

WHAT QUALITY MLANS 



Quality means the best and finest types procurable in 

 their respective classes. We go to specialists for our 

 vegetable seeds. Our customers, the grower, the private 

 gardener, demand the highest grade. We have no cheap 

 catalogue trade. " Quality " may mean a little higher 

 price. "Quality," in fact, means "quality," and we 

 know that when you buy from us you get it, — and our 

 customers know it too. ARTHUR T. BODDINGTON
