THE NEW CELESTIAL PEPPER. 
This new and wonderful productive 
pepper is an introduction from China 
only two years ago, and c/ortainly is 
one of the most beautiful, interesting 
and useful plants ever brought to this 
country. They are extremely hardy, 
grow on a strong, upright bush, 
to 2 feet high, branch in a perfect 
pyramidal form and studded with 
peppers from the base up. They com¬ 
mence to bear early in the season and 
continue to bloom and bear peppers 
until killed by hard freezing. The 
splendid peppers are lbs to 2 inches 
long, uniform aDd perfect in shape, 
and so thickly cover the hush as to 
almost hide the foliage. No words 
can describe the splendor of a bush 
of these beautiful peppers when com¬ 
mencing to ripen. Up to the time 
they are fully grown they are a rich 
creamy yellow. When beginning to 
ripen they turn an intense scarlet red, 
frequently being a rich golden yellow 
on one side and a deep polished red 
on the other, making the plant an 
object of the most striking beauty 
imaginable. They are all carried up¬ 
right, as seen in the engraving, and 
are highly ornamental either for the 
garden or flower-bed. They are also 
desirable and splendid for pot plants, as they keep their bright, vivid red and deep golden color, and will 
continue to bloom and bear peppers all Winter if potted and'taken in the house. They are of superior 
■ quality used as hot peppers, having a clear, sharp flavor. PI-'... 10c.; 3 pkts., 25c.
