See this fine Pepper on the inside back 
cover. This may be described as in a 
class by itself for it is different in shape, structure, and manner of growth. It surely is a 
beautiful Pepper and this, with its other good qualities, has created a great demand for 
it. The walls of flesh or meat of it are very thick (from IT to Kinch), much thicker 
than any other Pepper. Color green turning to a very rich crimson. It is a sweet 
Pepper. Pkt. 10 cts.; 3 pkts. 25 cts.; Vioz. 35 cts.; oz. 55 cts.; Vilb. $1.85; lb. $5.50. 
“ It-. » Marvelous in size, in yield, in thickness 
of flesh. See it in natural color on the 
inside back cover. Here is a Pepper that will win your highest praise whether you grow 
acres of it or grow it in your home-garden, 
because I know you will agree with me, after 
you grow it, that it is all that anyone could 
wish for in Peppers. Enormous size, and 
abundant yield, rich scarlet, mild-flavored.

HERBS Have a “Medicine Garden” 
Everybody should have their own “Medicine Garden’’—a plot of ground somewhere 
within their vegetable or flower-garden devoted to the growing of the various Herbs so 
often needed in the home for medicinal purposes. 
HOW TO GROW THEM.—Sow the seed in the spring after the soil has become 
warm—usually about May 1. Sow in rows 12 inches apart, cultivating the plants often, 
and when the plants have three or four leaves transplant to stand about 12 inches 
apart in the rows. Pk t q 2

Florence Fennel 
Used extensively as a salad but it is 
particularly delicious when served boiled 
with a cream dressing. The bases of the 
leaf-stalks are much thickened, bulb-like, 
and after boiling are of a mild, aromatic, 
sweet flavor, somewhat like celery yet sweet 
and with a delicate odor. When the en¬ 
largement of the leaf stalk at the base of the 
stem is about half as large as an egg, then 
earth it up until about half is covered. In 
about ten days, you may begin to cut and 
continue as the plants increase in growth.
