A giant 

 among the 



Pi-pper fruits Produces the biggest fruits of 

 all mild, tdibic kinds hitherto known. The 

 fruit has solid flesh of good flavor and of a 

 magnificent 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 grow- 

 ing 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 witli hanging fruits, which come too 

 easily iti contact with the soil. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 60c., ^Ib. $1.50.

WHAT QUALITY 

 MEANS 



Quality means the best 

 and finest types procurable 

 in their respective classes. 

 We go to specialists for our 

 vegetable seeds. Our cus- 

 tomers, the grower, the pri- 

 vate 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 cur 

 customers know it too.
