HOT PEPPERS 
HOT PORTUGAL. (New.) If you want large “hot” peppers you 
should try the new “Hot Portugal.” It is the largest pepper of 
this type we have seen and is very “hot.” The fruit averages 6 in. 
long or more, bright red when ripe, and is very freely borne on sturdy 
plants. This is the best large “hot" red pepper we know.

GIANT CAYENNE. (Hot.) Fruit is 3 inches long and I inch through. It 
is much larger than the old Cayenne pepper and the fruit is just as 
“hot.” Ripens very early and is wonderfully prolific. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 55c; l / 4 Lb. $1.60; Lb. $5.50. 
HEIFER HORN. (Hot.) Similar to Giant Cayenne but somewhat larger 
and not quite so early. The peppers are 1in. across at the top tapering 
to a point and 3J^ to 4 in. long. The plants are very productive and the 
fruit very “hot.”

PUMPKINS 
A packet will plant 5 or 6 hills, an ounce 20 hills. 
A few hills of pumpkins in the garden will give 
you the “makins” of many delicious pies in the fall 
and winter. If you grow your own you can get 
pumpkins of a quality that is impossible to match 
in the commercial canned product, and at very 
small cost. 
If your garden is small, plant a few hills among 
the sweet corn. It will not take any extra ground. 
SMALL SUGAR. The Favorite Pie Pumpkin. 
Small, deep yellow pumpkins, ribbed and flat¬ 
tened at the ends. They have good thick, sweet 
flesh that is excellent for pies. There is always a 
good demand for these pumpkins in market and 
this is one of the best varieties to grow for the 
roadside trade. They ripen early and the vines 
are very prolific.

kind. The pumpkins are of a deep orange color, beautifully netted and 
the flesh is very thick, deep orange yellow and of the very finest quality

Sugar pumpkin. They will keep all winter if put in a dry moderately 
warm place.

seed is raised, so the roots that produce the largest and best stalks should 
be used, the rest being discarded.
