Here’s a new Pepper of real 
merit. It’s nearly as large 
as, and earlier than, Chinese 
Giant. It will sit upright 
and is ideal to stuff and 
bake, or to serve whole 
with salad. Its walls are 
exceptionally thick, heavier 
and firmer than any other 
sort, and the flesh is deli¬ 
ciously sweet and spicy, 
with no bite to it. The 
specimen pictured at right 
was 4Vk inches across and 
weighed 10 Vk ounces. The 
bright attractive green 
changes to a brilliant light 
crimson. Pkt. 10c, oz. 40c.
