Peppers Are One of the Best Paying Truck Crops and Produce Over a Long Season 
Kilgore’s Colossal Ruby King Peppers groum by Mr. G. D. Wyse at Pompano, Florida 
KILGORE’S COLOSSAL RUBY KING. U10 days.) This 
improved strain of the Ruby King variety possesses all of the 
good characteristics of that standard variety, and produces much 
larger size and somewhat thicker meated fruits. It is rapidly 
gaining in popularity in the large pepper growing sections of 
Florida. It is a long season pepper, and when planted in the 
fall, will bear throughout the winter and spring in south Florida. 
We have not only selected for uniformity and trueness to type, 
but have developed in this stock one of the highest yielding and 
longest producing Ruby Kings available. The plants are very 
early, productive, and of compact, upright growth. The fruits 
are pendant, averaging 5 to 6 inches in length, and 3 to 4 inches 
in width, with very broad shoulders and tapering to three points. 
Flesh is exceptionally thick, sweet and mild. This is one of the 
most profitable varieties to grow for market, it being an ex¬ 
tremely heavy yielder of large size, fancy fruits, which pack and 
ship exceedingly well. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; Alb. $1.15; 1 lb. $4.00. 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED COLOSSAL. (110 days.) This 
is a highly improved stock of Colossal Pepper which has been 
carefully proved and tested, and we are confident there is no 
better on the market. The plant is upright in growth, very hardy 
and produces a heavy crop of large fruits over a much longer 
period than other strains. The fruits are very large, thick 
fleshed, sweet, three and four-pronged, and average slightly 
longer than the World Beater. This is one of the most satisfac¬ 
tory main-crop peppers, and we unhesitatingly recommend it to 
southern growers. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 35c; Alb. $1.00; 1 lb. $3.50. 
We pride ourselves on having developed the finest strains 
of pepper seed for Florida and the South. It has taken years 
of breeding and selection to develop these fine strains. 
KILGORE’S IMPROVED RUBY GIANT. (115 days.) The 
plant grows upright and is of very vigorous growth, it being 
somewhat more disease resistant and withstanding poor growing 
conditions better than most varieties of this type. The fruits are 
similar to World Beater in shape, being large, four lobed, and 
very attractive in appearance. The thick flesh is exceedingly 
sweet, mild, and of excellent quality. Our strain of this variety 
is extremely productive and bears over a long period. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 40c; Alb. $1.15; 1 lb. $4.00. 
CALIFORNIA WONDER. (125 days.) Somewhat similar to 
our Florida Giant, but is a little later in maturing, not quite as 
productive, and the fruits, which are borne upright, are not as 
long and smooth, but have a tendency to be short and blocky, 
averaging 4 to 4% inches in length and about the same diameter. 
Flesh thick and firm, making it an excellent shipping type. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 45c; (41b. $1.40; 1 lb. $5.00. 
NEAPOLITAN (Italian). (105 days.) This is an extremely 
early, medium large, prolific variety, growing in popularity on 
some northern markets where it is in great demand among 
Italian people. The plant is wonderfully productive, carrying 
as many as forty fruits on a single plant. The fruits are upright 
in growth, averaging 4 inches long and 2 inches in diameter. 
Three lobed, yellowish green in color, becoming bright red 
when ripe. The flesh is extremely mild and sweet. 
Pkt. 5c; oz. 35c; (ilb. $1.00; 1 lb. $3.50. 
ANAHEIM CHILI (Hot). (120 days.) A popular, hot, pun¬ 
gent variety. The fruits are very meaty, measuring 6 to 7 inches 
in length and 1 to IV 2 inches in diameter at stem end, and are 
green, ripening to a bright red. Often dried for winter use.
