ANNUALS—Continued 
_ SOLANUM _ 
To insure an even, first-class strain of this valuable pot plant 
we grow our own seed crop of these varieties at West Chicago 
where we can personally supervise selection and rogueing. 
For well grown 4 in. specimens, sow seed in June, carry along 
indoors. Larger plants must be started earlier, of course. 
Some growers summer plants outdoors in frames, lifting and 
shifting into 5’s and 6’s in Sept.; a 50 deg. house should then 
set them up well for the holidays. 
*Variegated Pepper. (New). A Japanese strain that we be¬ 
lieve will make an attractive novelty pot plant item. Growth 
upright and compact, leaves attractively variegated with white; 
fruit elongated and narrow, purple at first and turning a bril¬ 
liant red. For large specimens put three plants in a 5 in. pot.
