GARDEN SEED ANNUAL 
PEPPER 
Culture —Sow seed one-half inch deep in the 
hotbed in March. After danger of frost is past, 
transplant into open ground, in rows two to 
three feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. 
An ounce will produce about 1000 plants; two 
pounds will set an acre. 
THREE BEST SWEET PEPPERS 
RUBY KING. One of the old standard sorts, sweet, 
of good size and color, with fine flavor. Still 
a large seller. 
SUNNYBROOK OR SWEET CHEESE. Has somewhat 
the shape of a small flattened tomato, being 
about 3 inches through and 2 inches deep. 
Smooth, deep scarlet, thick fleshed and sweet. 
Very prolific. 
WOODRUFF’S COLOSSAL. A pepper of the Ruby 
King type, but superior to that variety. The 
fruit is large, rather long, thick-meated, and 
almost 100% four-pronged. 
CALIFORNIA WONDER. A blocky, almost square 
pepper which has unusually thick flesh. It re¬ 
sembles Chinese Giant, but is more productive. 
WORLD BEATER. A fine variety combining ear¬ 
liness with good size and thick flesh. Exten¬ 
sively grown in the South for shipping. 
SWEET VARIETIES 
BULL NOSE. Prolific and quite early; the fruit 
about three inches long and two inches in dia¬ 
meter. Usually sweet, but occasionally quite 
pungent; a standard early pickling variety. 
CHINESE GIANT. A large fruited mild pepper, 
but inclined to be a light bearer. Quite late in 
maturity. 
HARRIS’ EARLIEST. An extremely early sweet 
pepper of Bull Nose type, but not noted for 
productiveness. 
HARRIS’ EARLY GIANT. The earliest and most 
prolific of all the giant peppers; ten days to 
two weeks earlier than the other large fruited 
peppers, such as Ruby King, Chinese Giant, 
and Ohio Crimson Giant. The quality is very 
fine, making this a most desirable variety for 
any use. 
OHIO CRIMSON GIANT. One of the best large 
peppers, as large as Chinese Giant and about 
ten days earlier. It is also somewhat more pro¬ 
lific. Popular for stuffing. 
OSHKOSH. A large early pepper, without lobes 
or prongs. The fruit is bright green, turning 
yellow at maturity, very mild and sweet. 
California Wonder 
HOT VARIETIES 
CAYENNE, LONG RED. Fruit 5 inches in length, 
pointed, bright red and very hot. 
CAYENNE, LONG THICK. The “Finger Pepper” of 
the Italians. Similar <-o Long Red Cayenne, 
but broader and thicker flesh. Very early and 
prolific. 
HUNGARIAN WAX. A pointed hot sort, 6 to 7 
inches long. Waxy yellow color, turning to 
crimson at maturity. 
RED CHERRY, SMALL. Fruit small, round and 
flattened, bright scarlet and very hot. 
NEAPOLITAN. An exceedingly prolific and early 
sort, producing a continuous crop right up until 
frost. The color is a pale green, turning to 
brilliant red. 
RED CHERRY, LARGE. Similar to Small Red 
Cherry, but double its size. Used mainly by 
picklers. 
PIMIENTO. A small and extremely mild pepper 
which is at the same time very productive. 
Smooth skin, dark green at first, but becoming 
a very dark red. Much used by canners. 
RUBY GIANT. A fine sweet pepper, somewhat 
similar to World Beater, with bright red color, 
superior flavor, and very productive. It stands 
shipping well. 
RED CHILI. Bears a profusion of pointed, very 
hot peppers about to 2 inches long. Gen¬ 
erally ground and used in pepper sauce.
