doubt one of the very best and 
largest Mango Peppers ever in¬

Ruby King Peppers 
PIMENTO OR PERFECTION— This is the sweet¬ 
est pepper grown, as it does not contain the slightest 
trace of fieryness. The plants are extremely produc¬ 
tive, and peppers are medium in size and of a shape 
which is desirable for filling, and when prepared in 
this manner they are delicious. It may be used in 
preparing salads and for flavoring, in which case it 
will add a fresh and delightful flavor. The flesh is 
quite thick and the pepper may be scalded for peeling 
the skin off. When fully ripe the peppers are of a 
brilliant red color and very attractive.

long by three and one half inches in diameter; flesh 
very thick and mild, exceedingly productive and a

about two feet high, compact and very productive, 
ripening their crop uniformly and early. The fruits 
are large, with thick, mild flesh of excellent quality

crimson when ripe.
