troduced. Its mammoth size, 
splendid shape, beautiful, rich, 
glossy-red flesh and mild flavor, 
all lead us to speak of it in 
words of commendation. 
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. 
BELL OR BULL NOSE —The plants are vigorous, 
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 
for use in salads and mangoes or in stuffed peppers. 
The color is deep green when fruit is young, bright 
crimson when ripe.

and 3 Vz to 4 inches thick. Color a ruby red at ma¬ 
turity; excellent quality. Among the best sorts for

hot pepper, fruits conical-shaped 3 to 4 inches long of 
bright red color, and are borne in great profusion. 
Very prolific for so large a pepper. Matures in about 
125 days. 
CALIFORNIA WONDER —As large as Chinese 
Giant but much earlier and of the best quality. Heav¬ 
iest meated, an excellent shipper and rapidly re¬ 
placing other varieties of this type of pepper.

the five strongest.

tionally fine quality and flavor. Very extensively grown. A 
favorite variety with canners and home growers.
