similar to Bull Nose in form, 3-lobed, 3% inches long by 234 inches in 
diameter. 
MAMMOTH GOLDEN QUEEN (65 days)—One of the largest of the sweet, 
yellow peppers; resembles Ruby King in size, form and mild flavor; green 
in color, fruit pendent, 3-lobed, 4 inches long by 3^ inches in diameter,

maturity.

crimson variety, much used for salads; fruit pendent, 334 inches long by 
234 inches, greatest diameter. Rather late in season. 
RUBY KING (69 days)—One of the most satisfactory varieties for the home

inches; flesh very thick and mild; exceedingly productive and a good ship¬
