PLANT LANDRETHS’ PENNA. CERTIFIED RED ROCK TOMATO 
PEPPER—Continued 
Neapolitan—90 Days 
Plants about 2 feet tall. Earliest, fair sized. Possibly 
the most productive of all the large Peppers, bearing 
constantly until frost. Mild as an apple. Fruit 
about 4 inches long and 4| inches in circumference, 
standing upright until they get so heavy they some¬ 
times droop. A variety in which the length is over 
twice the diameter. Remarkably early for a large 
fruited Pepper. 
Pimento or Perfection—100 Days 
Very productive, smooth skin, good size, flesh thick, 
very solid, bright red, mild flavor. Very good for 
stuffing. Largely used by canners and is a reliable 
bearer. Plants 2 to 2\ feet high. 
Royal King or Sweet Bull Nose—115 Days 
A large, superb, prolific, bright and glossy sweet 
pepper. Flesh mild. Plants strong and stocky. 
The wonderful color, the unusually thick flesh, and 
the almost perfect regularity in the size of the fruit 
make this an ideal shipping pepper. It is rapidly 
becoming the most popular sort for this purpose. 
Ruby Giant or World Beater—116 Days 
A large variation of Ruby King, with Chinese Giant 
blood. Similar in shape to Ruby King but broader 
at the blossom end. Bright red. Five inches long. 
Unusually productive. Mild in flavor, flesh thick, 
consequently a fine shipper. Is a very desirable 
variety. 
Ruby King (Black’s Strain)—110 Days 
This is a very superior strain of Ruby King selected 
by us for its uniformity of type. Four lobes. All 
raised by us on our Bloomsdale Farm. We con¬ 
sider it unsurpassed in quality. 
Ruby King—110 Days 
A general favorite where known and the most 
generally used of all Peppers. It is the longest of 
the monstrous peppers. A brilliant red, produces 
10 to 15 fruit to the plant, of usually three lobes. 
The fruits are often 6 inches long and inches 
wide across the shoulder. Walls are thick and 
sturdy. Flavor sweet or mild. A sort which resists 
decay longer than any other. Altogether, the most 
used Pepper in the list. 
Ruby King (Black’s Strain) 
Ruby King 
Very Small Cayenne—90 Days 
Height of plant about 2 feet. Length of fruit 1§ 
to 2 inches, § of an inch thick. Being much smaller 
than the old Cayenne and of ideal shape make this 
variety very superior, and it is rapidly becoming 
very popular. Exceedingly productive, bearing 
very hot, upright, bright red fruit all over the 
plant. Used extensively as a pot herb.

THE VALUE OF AN EXPERIMENTAL 
OR TRIAL GROUND 
The success of a seedsman depends upon his Field 
Experience as a worker in a Garden or his familiarity 
with a Trial Ground worthy of the name. A place 
in the open fields is like the laboratory to the chemist; 
where differences can be tested and noted. 
Pictures in this Catalog show sections of Lan- 
dreths’ Experimental Grounds, where hundreds of 
stocks of Seeds from many sources are tested for 
the purpose of showing purity or impurity, earliness 
or lateness, size of plant, color, flavor, texture, and 
in fact a comparison of every quality.
