PEPPERS— THE LARGE MILD KINDS OR 
“MANGOES” 
VI/TTHIN 15° days from date seeds are sown Early 
* " Neapolitan (shown to left) produces handsome crops 
of large, elongated, four-lobed fruits averaging four inches 
long by two and a half inches in diameter at the widest 
part. This is the earliest and sweetest of the large pep- 
pers suitable for stuffing. It is so prolific that frequently 
the branches break under the loads of fruits. 
Bell or Bull Nose is a slightly later sort forming more 
blocky fruits and it is apt to be a little more pungent. 
However, it is adaptable to the widest range of soils and 
climates and for this reason is most generally grown. 
Chinese Giant (shown to right) is the largest and latest 
of the mangoes. It does not reach maturity north of 
Ohio, but will yield fair crops of exceptionally large green 
fruits where seeds are started before middle of April. 
Golden Queen is a large yellow sort, mild, of same season 
of maturity as Bell or Bull Nose, but not as prolific.
