F. H. WOODRUFF & SONS, MILFORD, CONNECTICUT 
PEPPER 
Culture Sow seed one-half inch deep in the 
hotbed in March. After danger of frost is past, 
transplant into open ground, in rows two to three 
feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. An 
ounce will produce about 1000 plants; one pound 
will set an acre. 
SWEET VARIETIES 
WOODRUFF'S COLOSSAL This is the 
finest stock of Colossal we have ever 
offered. The pepper is of the Ruby King 
type, but vastly superior to that variety. 
The fruit is very large, thick, sweet, and 
almost 100% four-pronged. We sell hun¬ 
dreds of pounds of this pepper annually in 
the pepper growing sections of Florida 
and New Jersey. Do not fail to include 
some of this variety in your order. Pkt., 
15c; oz., 60c; % lb., $2.00; lb., $6.00. 
PEERLESS A new pepper that is selling 
like wildfire in the markets. It is large 
and more solid than any pepper we have 
yet seen. It makes an ideal shiper owing to its thick walls and great solidity. The flesh is very sweet with¬ 
out any “bite.” Pkt., 15c; oz., 60c; % lb., $2.00; lb., $6.00. 
HARRIS' EARLY GIANT The earliest and most prolific 
of all the giant peppers; ten days to two weeks earlier 
than the other large fruited peppers, such as Ruby 
King, Chinese Giant, and Ohio Crimson Giant. The 
quality is very fine, making this a most desirable va¬ 
riety for any use. Pkt., 15c; oz., 50c; 34 lb-, $1.50 : 
lb., $5.00. 
CALIFORNIA WONDER Originated in California, 
this is a large, thick meated, sweet pepper of great 
quality. The peppers are usually solid and heavy, 
regular in shape and uniform in size. The yield is 
very heavy. Pkt., 15c; oz., 60c; 34 lb., $2.; lb., $6. 
CHINESE GIANT A large fruited mild pepper, but inclined to 
be a light bearer. Quite late in maturity, being two or three 
weeks later than Harris’ Early Giant. Pkt., 15c; oz., 60c; 
y A lb., $2.00; lb, $6.00. 
OHIO CRIMSON GIANT One of the best large peppers, as 
large as Chinese Giant and about ten days earlier. It is 
also somewhat more prolific. Popular for stuffing. Pkt, 
15c; oz, 60c; lb, $2.00; lb, $6.00. 
RUBY KING One of the old standard sorts, sweet, of good 
size and color, with fine flavor. Still a large seller. Pkt, 
10c; oz, 50c; lb, $1.50; lb, $5.00.
