PEPPER 
CULTURE.—Sow early in hot bed, or in open 
ground about the middle of spring. Transplant 
when three inches high, to one foot apart, in drills 
twenty inches apart, and earth up a little in hoe¬ 
ing, which can be continued until the plants are in 
full bloom. 
FIUENTO. A new introduction of the 
pimento type, very smooth and uniform in shape. 
The flesh is much thicker than in the various 
“bell” peppers, yielding a half more edible por¬ 
tion and also making the fruits easily peeled. 
The flesh is sweet and delicious being entirely 
free from pungency. The plants are very prolific, 
producing heavy crops until killed by frost. In 
view of its many superior qualities we expect to 
see Pimento become the leading variety of 
Pepper. 
RUBY GIANT PEPPER. This beautiful 
Pepper is a cross between the Ruby King and the 
Chinese Giant. The Chinese Giant is the largest 
of all Peppers, but is rough and ungainly in 
shape; whereas the New Ruby Giant, while quite 
as large round as the Chinese Giant, has the ideal 
shape of the Ruby King, being longer than the 
Chinese Giant, and much larger round than the 
Ruby King. Plants vigorous in growth. The 
flesh is mild, sweet as an apple, making a gooo 
salad sliced and served with Tomatoes. 
RUBY KING. The fruits are about 5 to 6 inches 
long by about 3V 2 inches through. They are bright 
red, remarkably mild and pleasant in flavor, hav¬ 
ing no fiery taste. The most popular red pepper 
SWEET MOUNTAIN. Larger, milder and more 
productive than Bull Nose. Color deep green, 
turning to red when ripe. 
NEAPOLITAN. The earliest of all Peppers, 
coming in fully two weeks earlier than Ruby 
King and Bull Nose. Flesh thick and mild 
Fruit of medium size; very prolific. 
LARGE BELL OR BULL NOSE. A large, thick 
fleshed, mild variety, used for stuffing and foi 
mixed pickles. 
CAYENNE. Long red hot and pungent. 
CHIXiI. Like Cayenne, but smaller and later, 
used for pepper nauce. 
SPINACH 
Spinat. Epinard. 
CULTURE—This is one of the most important of our market garden crops and one that re 
quires very little care. For summer use sow at intervals of two or three weeks from April to 
iugust, and for early spring crop sow in September, covering it in exposed places with straw to 
protect it from severe frost. 
BLOOMSDALE CURLED SAVOY- LEAVED.

whence the name; it is a very valuable variety 
particularly for market gardeners.

lent market sort; equally good for spring and fall 
sowing; leaves large, thick and fleshy; in genera^ 
use for early spring planting; also for fall sowing
