bush at one time. All other Cayenne 
Peppers are borne in clusters, but this 
kind puts out just one flower stem in a 
place and the pod has one to itself. An¬ 
other peculiarity is that there is always 
a leaf just over each little pod, to shield 
it from the sun, which in the section where 
chili patin grows is fierce. The cap over 
each pepper is like a little parasol, pro¬ 
tecting the green pod, which is four 
months turning red. 
When red and ripe, the pods hang on 
the bushes until the flowers come again. 
When in this dry mature state, they give 
off an impalpable powder that gets into 
the air and protects the plants from all 
kinds of insects. The plants are perennial 
and gregarious on this strip of land. 
They are about five feet high, and of neat, 
symmetrical tree form. The foliage is 
small, luxuriant, dark rich green and 
glistening as if it were varnished. The 
plantations are beautiful to gaze upon; 
the picture of luxuriance. 
On the Rio Grande wild turkeys feed 
upon the ripe Peppers, and it is said the 
pungency penetrates to the flesh and im¬ 
parts delicious flavor. Partridges and 
wild turkeys frequent the Pepper planta¬ 
tions so that hunters know where to find 
them. 
The Piment of the French and the 
Cayenne or Bird’sEye of Americans is 
less fiery than the foregoing and more 
ornamental. It bears starry white blos¬ 
soms, in clusters, which are succeeded by 
pods an inch long in one variety and 
round pods the size of a Sweet Pea in the 
Bird’s-Eye. The plants are useful and 
ornamental. In New Orleans they are 
more frequently seen in the flower gar¬ 
den than among herbs and vegetables. 
They are grown in pots and windows, and 
piazzas are decorated with them. Being 
deciduous, the outdoor plants drop their 
foliage and stand for two or three 
months in Louisiana, denuded, except of 
the bright red pods. These persist all 
winter unless the English sparrow takes 
a notion to feed upon them. Other birds 
too are fond of the Bird’s-Eye Pepper. 
Indoors few plants are more satisfac¬ 
tory. They make perfect little trees, full of 
delicate, rich green, shining leaves, sprin¬ 
kled with numerous pure white blossoms, 
green peppers and dazzling red pods in 
clusters. The temperature needs to be 
just above freezing point. They are not 
sensitive to cold, except it be below the 
freezing point. 
The Tabasco sauce of commerce is 
made of chili patin and Cayenne Pepper 
or piment. Domestic sauce is made by 
filling a bottle one-third full of the little 
red pepper pods and the balance with 
vinegar. Both red and green pods are 
used thus to make pepper sauce at home. 
The potted plants are entirely free 
from insects. Branches are cut, full of 
flowers and red peppers and used as bou¬ 
quets for the table. The red pods are 
placed on the table and eaten with meats. 
One is able to make much of little with 
the Bird’s-Eye Pepper—in the flower bor-
