PEPPERS—Continued 
HARRIS’ IMPROVED SQUASH. Also known 
-- —- as Cheese and 
Sunnybrook Pepper. Our strain is early, very prolific and thick ineated 
and it is the only strain we know of this type that has all these good 
points. This is the pepper which is so popular for “Pimentos” because 
of its extremely thick flesh and fine quality. 
Hitherto it has been almost impossible to get a pepper of this type 
that would bear enough here in the North to make it worth while to 
grow them, but with this early prolific strain you can get an abundance 
of fine ripe fruit before the plants are killed by frost. Very prolific. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 55c; M Lb. $1.60; Lb. $5.50. 
PIMIENTO. Fruit of medium size, shaped like a top, smooth and glossy 
with exceptionally thick flesh. The plants are quite tall and productive 
but they mature quite late, so this variety is better south of New 
York State. Deep green changing to red when ripe. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; M Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.35. 
OSHKOSH. The largest and best yellow pepper. Oshkosh, especially 
when ripe, is the finest pepper we know of for “Stuffed Peppers.” 
When stuffed and baked these peppers are so mild and sweet that they 
fairly melt in your mouth. This is also very fine for “green peppers.” 
The plants are strong and compact and under normal conditions 
produce excellent yields of large peppers. The color is deep green 
turning to deep orange yellow when ripe. The flesh is very thick. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 65c; Lt Lb. $1.90; Lb. $6.50. 
RUBY KING. The fruit is 5 to 6 in. long, and to 3 in. across, bright 
deep green when young, and red when ripe, thick flesh and very mild. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 35c; % Lb. $1.00; Lb. $3.35. 
LARGE BELL or Bull Nose. A very hardy and early variety. The pep¬ 
pers are bright red when ripe. The flesh is fairly thick and decidedly 
pungent. Vines grow 18 in. to 2 ft. tall and produce a large number of 
peppers of good size bloeky shaped fruit. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 50c; M Lb. $1.35; Lb. $1,50. 
HOT PEPPERS 
HOT PORTUGAL. (New.) This is the best large hot red

be sure to grow some “Hot Portugal.” It is the largest pepper of this 
type we have seen and is very hot. The fruit averages 6 inches or 
more in length, is bright red when ripe, and is very freely borne on 
sturdy upright plants. See photo on page 33.

A packet will plant 5 or 6 hills: an ounce 20 hills. 
A few hills of pumpkins in the garden will give you the “makins” of many delicious pies in 
tin' fall and winter. If you grow your own you can get pumpkins of a quality that is impossible 
to match in the commercial canned product, and at very small cost. 
If your garden is small, a few hills among the sweet corn will take up no extra ground. 
ORANGE WINTER LUXURY. Fi " e p *«-; This improved strain produces 
- - pumpkins which are of a deep orange color and 
beautifully netted. The flesh is very thick, deep orange yellow and of the very finest quality 
for pies. The fruit is of good size, being nearly twice as large as the Small Sugar. Keeps all 
winter if put in a dry moderately warm place. This seed is grown on our own farm and will 
produce pumpkins of very uniform size, shape and color. 
Pkt. 10c; Oz. 15c; M Lb. 40c; Lb. $1.25. 
SMALL SUGAR. The Favorite Pic Pumpkin. Small, deep yellow pumpkins, ribbed and 
slightly flattened at the ends. They have good thick, sweet flesh that is excellent for pies.
