Pepper, Guilds’ Kaleidoscope 
From the time the pretty plum-like peppers form until 
they are full grown they are of a light yellowish cream 
color. As they commence to ripen they change, first to a 
dear, canary color, then deepening to orange, then again 
turning to pink or rose, varying from shade to shade until 
they become a vi vid, shining scarlet. One of these pepper 
pants, with their dark green leaves, and hanging fullof 
cream, pink, yellow rose and red fruits, is exceedingly bean- 
tnul. A very easily grown house plant and an attractive 
one. It is enormously prolific, plants branching freelv and 
weeping to the ground with their load of jewel-like fruit.
