PEPPER—Sweet or Hot 
Pfeffer (Ger.) Peperone (It.) 
Peppers are most largely used for seasoning meat 
and vegetable dishes; also for making chow chow and 
chili sauce. The culture is the same as for eggplant 
and the plants need quite as much heat to perfect 
them. Sow seed early in hotbed, or about middle 
of spring in open seed bed, the soil being light and 
warm. When 3 inches high transplant in rows about 
2% feet apart and 2 feet apart in the row. 
WORLD BEATER. This is the finest large pepper 
yet introduced. A cross between Chinese Giant 
and Ruby King, as early as Ruby King and similar 
in shape, but broader at blossom end. Almost the 
size of Chinese Giant and far more prolific, some 
plants producing as many as 24 marketable peppers. 
Exceptionally mild, can be eaten raw without fear 
of burning. Color of fruit green at first, turning 
to a beautiful shade of scarlet. Flesh thick, which 
enables it to hold up a long time and makes it an 
excellent shipper. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; V4 lb., $1.50. 
CRIMSON GIANT. The earliest maturing of the ex¬ 
tremely large, red sweet peppers and surpassed by 
none in evenness of size and shape. The plant is 
vigorous, 2% to 3 feet high. The fruits are of the 
largest size, ripen earlier than any of the other very 
large sorts. Color deep green when young, deep 
crimson when matured; flavor very mild. Oz., 45c; 
V4 lb., $1.50. 
LARGE EARLY NEAPOLITAN. Decidedly the earli¬ 
est of all large, mild, red peppers and the most 
productive of all large peppers. The fruit measures 
4 inches long and 4V6 inches in circumference. 
The strong, vigorous plants grow 2 feet high by 
18 inches across. They are heavily laden with large 
handsome fruit and bear continuously until frost. 
Single plants carry from 35 to 50 marketable fruits 
at one time. Skin and flesh bright red; mild as an 
apple. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; V4 lb., $1.00. 
LONG RED CAYENNE. A well known medium early 
variety having a slender, twisted and pointed pod 
about 4 inches long. Color deep green when fruit 
is young, bright red when ripe. Extremely strong 
and pungent flesh. Pkt, 10c; oz., 40c; Vi lb., $1.25. 
LARGE BELL or BULL NOSE. Our stock of this 
well known variety, sometimes called Sweet Moun¬ 
tain, is very superior. Plant vigorous, about 2 feet 
high, compact and very productive, ripening its 
crop uniformly and early. The fruits are large, 
with thick, mild flesh of excellent quality for use 
in salads and mangoes or stuffed peppers. The 
color is deep green when fruit is young, bright 
crimson when ripe. Slightly pungent. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
40c; % lb., $1.25. 
RUBY KING. An improved American variety, very 
large and attractive. The plant is about 2% feet 
high, vigorous, compact and productive. The fruits 
are often 4 to 4 Vi inches long and of deep green 
color when young, bright red when ripe. The flesh 
is thick and mild flavored. One of the best varie¬ 
ties for mangoes or stuffed pepper. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 40c; Vi lb., $1.25. 
CHINESE GIANT. Plant dwarf, fruit of mammoth 
size, very broad, yet rather short. It is very late 
and a rather shy yielder. Popular on account of 
its large size and mild flavor. Our stock is pure 
and is as good as can be obtained. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
50c; Vi lb., $2.00. 
PIMIENTO PEPPER. The sweetest pepper grown, 
as it does not contain the slightest trace of fieriness. 
The plants are productive and peppers medium size 
and of a shape which is desirable for stuffing, pre¬ 
pared in which manner they are delicious. It may 
also be used in salads and for flavoring. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 40c; Vi lb., $1.00. 
GOLDEN QUEEN. Of all the yellow-fruited peppers, 
Golden Queen is the largest, most productive and 
finest. The fruit is quite large, unusually meaty, 
and strictly mild. Rich and glossy golden yellow 
skin. Our strain of this fine yellow pepper is par¬ 
ticularly fine. Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; Vi lb., $1.35.
