PEPPERS • Mangoes 
HOW TO GROW PEPPERS.—Start the seed in hotbeds, greenhouse, or in 
boxes indoors in March or April. When the plants are about 2 inches high, trans¬ 
plant in other boxes, setting them 2 inches apart. Then, when the weather is 
settled, the soil warm, and all danger of freezing over, set the plants out, after 
first preparing the soil well, working in well-rotted manure or some good fertilizer. 
For the home-garden set plants a foot apart in the rows and have rows a foot apart. 
For large plantings make rows 2 feet apart. Do not grow sharp and sweet Peppers 
together; they will mix. One ounce will produce 1,000 plants. 
SCHELL’S QUALITY 
First on the Market 
Outyields All Others 
It is the favorite early Pepper of market-gardeners and 
private gardeners everywhere it has been grown. 
We have never seen any other Pepper that can compare 
with it in the least degree in the remarkable way it 
yields. It is very early and all the Peppers on the plant color 
up evenly; then the plants continue to yield until stopped by 
frost or the grower. A beautiful, attractive shape, which makes 
it sell on sight, while its superior quality, sweet as an apple, 
backs up its attractive appearance. It is the most prolific 
Pepper ever grown in this locality. Color green turning to a 
beautiful scarlet when ripe, it has all the qualities required for 
the most profitable crop, namely, size, yield, quality, quick 
to color. No other variety can claim all these qualities. Picking 
the Peppers as early and as often as possible will induce a 
heavier yield. Pkt. 10 cts.; 3 pkts. 25 cts.; Vioz. 45 cts.; 
oz. 90 cts.; Xlb. $2.50; lb. $8.

FLORENCE FENNEL 
or FINOCCHIO 
Used extensively as a salad but it is 
particularly delicious when served 
boiled with a cream dressing. The bases 
of the leaf-stalks are much thickened, 
bulb-like, and after boiling are of a 
mild, aromatic, sweet flavor, somewhat 
like celery yet sweet and with a delicate 
odor. When the enlargement of the 
leaf stalk at the base of the stem is 
about half as large as an egg, then earth 
it up until about half is covered. In 
about ten days, you may begin to cut 
and continue as the plants increase in 
growth. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; 
Xlb. 75 cts.; lb. $2.

Very large and almost square in shape. It yields abundantly 
but it is not so prolific as my Quality Pepper and my Mar¬ 
velous. The flesh is thick, very tender and sweet and, being 
so large, makes an excellent Mango for stuffing. The color 
is a brilliant scarlet when ripe. You should grow Chinese 
Giant. Pkt. 10 cts.; V 2 OZ. 35 cts.; oz. 60 cts.; Xlb. $1.75; 
lb. $6.
