Kuby Giant Pepper —\ Beal Giant Sweet Pepper 
Hastings' Royal King 
(No. 357) 
Introducefl by us in 1917. While it is a superb 
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 will, 
we believe, take the place’of the popular Ruby King, It is 
very prolific, bright and glossy, of large size (the illustration to 
the right shows the natural size and 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 Georgia, and has 
made good from the start. When tve 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 ta¬ 
ble; 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; 
Va oz., 20 cents; oz., 35 cents; % lb., ?1.25; lb., .$4.00; postpaid.

Hastings’ Peppers 
In fall, planting one ounce of seed will usually produce about 1000 good 
strong plants. Most gardeners plant one-half pound per acre to be sure 
of sufficient plants. Flori<la and Southwest Texas growers should plant 
Hastings’ Royal King this fall. It is the best of all. 
Pimiontn^Nn mutest flavored of all. its 
r IlllldlCW ^ IIUs wwOy wonderful what popularit.v Pimieuto has 
attained in the short time it has been known. It is absolutely free from 
the pungency of flavor distasteful to so many. Can be eaten raw like an 
apple, can be stuffed with meat and baked ; can be used as a salad or 
canned for winter use. Has very thick, firm flesh which permits of its 
being scalded and peeled. The shape and regularity of size of this splen¬ 
did variety is wonderful. We have had a splendid crop of Pimiento grown 
for seed for this year in Middle Georgia and we are sure you will like it.
