New Giant Podded Marrow 
Pepper 
The Hardiest Large Podded Pea. Can he Used at 
all Seasons. 
Since our intro¬ 
duction of this fine, 
newuerni-wrinkled 
green pen, a few 
yearn since, the de¬ 
mand from market 
gardeners ha# been 
mo great that we 
have Mold out be¬ 
fore the Hen non was 
half over. In anti¬ 
cipation of a Mtill 
greater demand, 
we doubled our 
acreage thin season 
and hope to be able 
to supply all late 
d e m a n d s. The 
viriCH grow about 
two feet high and 
bear e n o r in o u h 
handMome pod*, ilh 
mIiowii in photo- 
graph alongside, 
frequently mcvcii to 
eight in ch cm in 
length. The podH 
are co rn t» I e Le 1 y 
filled with large 
d e 1 i ci o it mI y-fl a- 
vored. deep-green 
peiiM. They require 
no Hiipnort, owing 
to their dwarf, 
stocky habit. Ow¬ 
ing to the ImincuHe 
Hi/,o of pod# and 
peas, we know of 
no pea from which 
ho large a bulk of 
produce can be ob¬ 
tained from a given 
number of vines. 
It is much hardier 
than either the Tel¬ 
ephone, Stratagem 
or any other large- 
podded sort, and 
can be planted 
much earlier. It 
nialurcH three to 
five flays later than 
our famous John¬ 
son & Stokes*

New Mammoth Podded Prolific 
Sugar Pea 
The Largest and Best of the Edlhlo Podded Sorts. 
A now and superior edible podded or “snap” pen, and 
the best yet. It excels, by far, any other edible podded pea 
heretofore introduced. In all of our experience wo have 
never seen anything in the line of sugar peas that would 
equal tills variety in enormous pods (see illustration for com¬ 
parison Pod No. 1(1, on preceding page), productiveness and 
finality. The pods are larger, broader and more melting than 
the Melting Sugar, and it is equally as earlv. The peas are 
drab-colored when ripe, extra large and wrinkled. The pods 
wro very llesliy and equal to the host simp beans for cooking, 
nod and all. The vines average about thirty-six inches 
nigh; whoa grown without trellis or brushing they are 
strong and rank. One of tlu* largest and most experienced 
growers of seed peas, who grew it. writes as follows: “I 
believe tills to la* an improvement over the Melting Sugar 
l*ea, because of its great productiveness, as well as its line 
finality and superior size. The fact that it is a bountiful pro¬ 
ducer ought to bring it rapidly in general favor, especially 
as an Improvement in the yielding qualities is not at the 
expenseof eating quality.” Pkt., lfio.; pint, 15c.; qt., 80c..

A SINGLE PLANT OF RUBY KING PEPPER. 
RUBY KING. This fine pepper grows to double the 
size of Hull Nose. The fruits are five to six inches long by 
about three and one-lmlf inches through, of a bright red. 
They are remarkably mild and pleasant in flavor, having no 
fiery taste. Single plants ripen from eight to ten fruits. The 
best red pepper. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 25c.; lb., 75c.; lb., 82.50. 
MAMMOTH GOLDEN QUEEN. Originated on our 
own grounds, where we first found a single plant growing 
in a large field of Ruby King some years ago It grows fully 
as large as Ruby King and to twice the size of Golden Dawn, 
of the most perfect shape and uniform larpc size. They grow' 
from fifteen to twenty perfect fruits on a plant, from eight to 
ten inches long and four to five inches through. In color 
they are bright, waxy, golden yellow, and so mild in flavor 
they can he eaten like tomatoes, with pepper and vinegar. 
They sell in market at double thjc prices of other sorts, and are 
exceedingly valuable for stuffing as mangoes. This pepper, 
which wo first introduced, lias been recently oflered ns a 
novelty under the name of Golden King. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 
80c.; lb., 75c.; lb., 82.75.

mammoth.size, resembling the trunk of an elephant. Fruits

They arc ornamental and useful. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 35c.; li

RED CLUSTER. This new’ pepper is n sport of the 
Cluli, which it slightly resembles. The leaves and fruits arc 
smaller, while it is much more productive, the fruits being 
curiously crowded together. The peppers are very hot, long 
and very thin in shape, and of conspicuous coral red color.
