Simon's Worldbeater (Special Stock) 
The Finest Introduction in Peppers in Ages 
Introduced by us in 1908 . 
Simon’s Worldbeater (Special Stock). —This is, without doubt 
the finest large pepper yet introduced. It is a cross between Chinese 
Giant and Ruby King, fully as early as Ruby King and similar in 
shape, but broader at blossom end, almost the size of Chinese Giant 
and far more prolific, some plants producing as many as twenty-four 
marketable peppers, exceptionally mild, can be eaten raw without fear 
of burning. Color of fruit green at first, turning to a beautiful shade of 
scarlet. Flesh thick, which enables it to hold up a long time and 
makes it an excellent shipper. For illustration from a photograph, 
see cut opposite.

Cultural Directions. —A good, sandy loam produces the best Potatoes, but they can be grown on all kinds of soil. New or pasture 
land, with the turf freshly turned, produces the finest crop. Make furrows of good depth, 3 feet apart. Scatter a liberal dressing of 
phosphate or decayed stable manure along the drill, and set the seed about 10 inches apart in the rows. Cover with about 2 inches of soil, 
and begin to cultivate when the plants are well up. At each successive hoeing, bring additional soil about the plants.

are of medium size, round and uniform in shape, eyes slightly de- late, large, handsome oval white potato. A prolific yielder, and 
pressed, color a beautiful light red. This variety is grown extensively 
in Bermuda to ship to the northern markets during the early spring 
months.

productiveness and fine quality. 
Gold Coin (Late). —The vines are strong and vigorous, and the 
tubers are deeply set in the ground; well adapted to loose soils and 
muck land; the tubers are large, color white with a slight streak of 
pink; of fine quality; very dry and mealy. 
always of fine eating quality. Is not susceptible to disease, and is 
gradually becoming the standard white potato for late planting. 
Irish Cobbler. —Pure white color and of excellent quality. A 
vigorous grower, early, ripens uniformly, and keeps well. Round 
in shape. 
Jersey Red Skin. —This potato is not planted in the early spring. 
It will do well in most any soil, though light soil is preferable. Since 
this variety sets abundantly it requires plenty of plant food to produce 
potatoes of good size. Plantings are made of this variety from July 
until August. They are good keepers and are most excellent for table 
purposes, especially in the late winter and early spring. It is a most 
valuable addition to the potato crop.
