best known variety, I am offering no other. Pkt. 5c ;

RUBY KING .— I have an extra fine stock of this 
popular market pepper of my own growing that I know 
to be true and uniform. Pepper seed mix easily and 
it is sometimes hard to get strictly pure seed. Those 1 
am offering this season, however, of the Ruby King I 
know to be straight, as we grew only the one variety, 
and that being exceptionally fine, with no other va¬ 
riety on the place, my seed is bound to be straight 
and pure. The plants of the Ruby King grow about 
two feet high and produce fine crops of handsome, 
large, scarlet fruit which ripens somewhat earlier 
than most other varieties. Flesh thick, sweet and 
mild : especially fine for salads, or stuffed for man¬ 
goes. The best market variety. Pkt. 5c; oz 20c; 1-4 
lb. 00c; lb. $2.00. 
CHINESE GIANT. -Flesh thick and mild; re¬ 
quires a long growing season, so plants should be set 
early. The peppers grow much larger than Ruby 
King, and of a bright scarlet color when ripe. The 
plant is strong and vigorous. The extreme size of the 
peppers usually surprise all who grow them. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 40c: 1-4 Ib. $1.25; Ib. $4.00. 
BULL NOSE. — A standard sweet flavored scarlet 
sort. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c: 1-4 lb. 60c; lb. $2.00.

fine, and while the crop is short, we are
