PIMIENTO-MILDEST FLAVORED OF ALL PEPPERS 
/M|ft This superb, new, milriest flavored of all peppers is becoming' known to the people of the Southeastern States, and it’s the 
\llUi wwoy varietj' for every one desiring mildness of flavor, for it is absolutely free of the pungent flavor that so many consider unde- 
sirable. Pimiento was flrst introduced in Southern California in 1911, and has already become a staple crop in that section not only 
for home and market use, but for canning as well. One Cali- 
fornia cannery last season used the entire crop from 50 acres. 
It has also been grown and canned successfully in Middle Geor- 
gia for two years. Can be eaten raw like an apple; can be 
stuffed with meat and baked ; can be used as a salad and also 
canned for use at any time of year. Has thick. Arm flesh which 
permits its being scalded and peeled. Should be in every family 
garden in the South because it is delicious stuffed with salads. 
We have had a splendid crop of Pimiento grown for seed this 
year in Middle Georgia and we are sure you will like it. Our 
illustration from a photograph shows its shape and appearance 
and is a little over half its natural size. Packet, 10 cents; % 
ounce, 20c; ounce, 35c; % pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50; postpaid.

pers for flavoring. Red Chili is fine. It is small and very bright 
red. Packet, 5 cents; % ounce, 15 cents; ounce, 25 cents; ^/4 
pound, 90 cents; postpaid. 
Long Cayenne (No. 349)

red pepper and this is the true type. Plant some of these for 
dried peppers during the winter. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 15

HASTINGS' ROYAL KING 
/Na Introduced by us in a very limited way in 1917. 
^llUi tfO I ) While it is a superb sweet pepper for home and 
market use we want to especially call the attention of the 
trucker or shipping market gardeners to its regularity of size 
and shape making it an exceptionally desirable variety for good 
packing and fine appearance on arrival in the markets. This 
will insure its being a top price seller at all times. 
This new sweet pepper is a wonderful introduction and will 
in time, we believe, take the place of the popular Ruby King. 
It is a very prolific, bright and glossy, of large size (the illus- 
tration to the right shows the natural size ana type of this new 
variety) ; the flesh is mild and thick and the lobes well filled 
out. It runs remarkably true to type and uniformity of size 
for a pepper, and the plants are of strong, stocky, erect growth. 
It is a native Southern pepper, originating right here in Geor- 
gia, and has made good from the start. When we say it is bet- 
ter than our Ruby King we are saying a great deal, but we 
want you to plant a small quantity of this new variety this 
year. Taste it raw, stuff it with meat and bake it and fill it 
with salads for the table: we believe you will like it and agree 
with us that it is the bell type pepper you have been looking 
for. Packet, 10 cents; Vs ounce, 30 cents; ounce, 50 cents; % 
pound, $1.50; pound, $5.00; postpaid.
