Hastings’ New Royal King Pepper 
Ruby Giant Pepper — A Real Giant Sweet Pepper 
Hastings’ Royal King 
/Hn Qi«7\ Introduced by us in 1917. While it is a superb 
^llVi ww I ; sweet pepper for home and market use we "want 
to especially call the attention of the trucker or shipping mar- 
ket gardeners to its regularity of size and shape, making it an 
exceptionally desirable variety for good packing and fine ap- 
pearance 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 has 
taken the place of the popular Ruby King. It is very prolific, 
bright and glossy, of large size (the illustration to the left 
shows the natural size and type of this new variety) ; the flesh 
is mild and thick and the lobes well filled out. It runs remark- 
ably true to type and uniformity of size for a pepper, and the 
plants are of strong, stocky, erect growth. It is a native South- 
ern pepper, originating right here in Georgia, and has made 
good from the start. When we say it is better than our Ruby 
King we are saying a great deal, but we want you to plant a 
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; y. 
oz., 20 cents; oz., 35 cents; % Ib., $1.25; lb., $4.00; postpaid^
