and remarkably productive, frequently carrying 30 to 40 handsome fruits, and continue

CHINESE GIANT PEPPER 
This monstrous fruiting variety averages 12 to 15 inches 
in circumference, and, notwithstanding its immense size, it is 
very early and prolific; the stocky, well-branched plants, 
about 2 feet high, carry so many peppers that in places they 
seemed bunched together. The nesh is thick, tender, mild, 
sweet, and unexcelled when sliced as salad, or for stuffing 
for “mangoes.” When ripe the surface is of a brilliant 
glossy scarlet. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 60c. oz., $1.75 
i lb.; $6.00 lb. 
RUBY KING PEPPER 
A popular, large-fruiting variety, very prolific and very 
early. The peppers average 5 to 6 inches long by 9 to 10 
inches in girth; color, glossy ruby-crimson when ripe; flesh, 
thick, mild and sweet. Price, 10c. pkt., 30c. oz., $1.00 i lb., 
$3.50 lb. 
HK s ^wn PARSNIP 
This is a highly improved type, producing uniformly large 
and handsome roots of stocky form, heavy at the shoulder, well 
rounded, gradually tapering to the base, so that they are easily 
dug, and if grown in properly pulverized soil, the roots will be 
smooth and free from wrinkles and side roots. The flesh is 
white, of fine texture, free from core and stringiness, and espe¬ 
cially fine-flavored, cooking tender, sweet and rich, rendering 
it one of the finest of table vegetables for winter use. The 
roots may remain in the ground all winter, being hardy, or some 
may be dug late in the fall and stored in sand or soil, so that 
they can be gotten at easily when the ground is frozen. Frost 
improves their quality. This parsnip is the heaviest cropper of 
all and we recommend it for both garden and field culture.
