duces marketable sized green peppers nearly as early as the 
earliest varieties. This will be found a very desirable sort 
for the home garden and an exceptionally profitable one for 
commercial growers.

% of an inch, places this sweet Pepper above all others. It is 
crisp and juicy, too, without a trace of pungency. Vigorous 
growing plants bear a heavy yield of blocky fruits that become 
as much as 5 inches long and 4 inches \vide.
