Culture Sow seed one-half inch deep in the 
hotbed in March. After danger of frost is 
past, transplant into open ground, in rows two 
to three feet apart and 18 inches apart in the 
rows. An ounce will produce about 1500 plants; 
One-quarter pound will set an acre. 
SWEET VARIETIES 
WOODRUFF'S COLOSSAL This is the 
finest stock of Colossal we have ever offer¬ 
ed. The pepper is of the Ruby King type, 
but vastly superior to that variety. The 
fruit is very large, thick, sweet,and almost 
100% four-pronged. We sell hundreds 
of pounds of this pepper annually in the 
pepper growing sections of Florida and 
New Jersey. Do not fail to include some 
of this variety in your order. Pkt., 15c; 
oz., 60c; 34 lb., $2.00; lb., $6.00. 
PEERLESS A new pepper that is selling Woodruffs Colossal 
like wildfire in the markets. It is large 
and more solid than any pepper we have 
yet seen. The specimen whose picture is on Page 47 weighed 934 ounces, and the meat was more than 34 inch 
thick. It makes an ideal shipper owing to its thick walls and great solidity. The flesh is very sweet without 
any “bite”. Pkt., 15c; oz., 60c; 34 lb-, $2.00; lb., $6.00 
HARRIS' EARLY GIANT The earliest and most prolific of all the giant peppers; ten days to two weeks 
earlier than the other large fruited peppers, such as Ruby King, Chinese Giant, and Ohio Crimson 
Giant. The quality is very fine, making this a most desirable variety for any use. Pkt., 15c; oz., 50c; 34 lb., 
$1.50; lb., $5.00. 
CALIFORNIA WONDER Originated in California, this is a large, thick meated, sweet pepper of great 
quality. The peppers are unusually solid and heavy, regular in shape and uniform in size. The yield is very 
heavy. Pkt., 15c; oz., 60c; 34 lb., $2.00; lb., $6.00. 
CHINESE GIANT A large fruited mild pepper, 
but inclined to be a light bearer. Quite late 
in maturity, being two or three weeks later 
than Harris’ Early Giant. Pkt., 15c; oz., 60c; 
Va, lb., $2.00; lb., $6.00. 
OHIO CRIMSON GIANT One of the best large 
peppers, as large as Chinese Giant and about 
ten days earlier. It is also somewhat more 
prolific. Popular for stuffing. Pkt., 15c; oz., 
60c; >4 lb., $2.00; lb., $6.00. 
WORLD BEATER A very large, thick meated 
pepper of mild flavor, much grown in the 
South. Its quality is of the best. It matures 
in about 130 days, or about ten days before 
Chinese Giant. Pkt., 10c; oz., 50c; lb., 
$1.50; lb., $5.00. 
RUBY KING One of the old standard sorts, 
sweet, of good size and color, with fine flavor.
