HOT PEPPERS 
HOT PORTUGAL. The best large hot red pepper. If you 
want large “hot’’ peppers be sure to grow 
some Hot Portugal. The fruit is twice as large as Giant Cayenne and 
just as hot. 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. Seed of 
our own growing.

hot. Ripens very early and is wonderfully prolific.

Hot Portugal PUMPKINS 
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 the 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 not take up any extra ground. 
SMALL SUGAR (also called ‘““New England Pie’’). The Favorite Pie Pumpkin. Small, 
deep yellow pumpkins, ribbed and slightly flattened at the ends. They have

Roots can be raised from seed sown in the spring, and are ready to transplant to the permanent 
bed the next spring. Seedlings cannot be relied upon to reproduce the variety true to type no 
matter how carefully the seed is raised, so only the roots that produce the largest and best stalks 
should be used, the rest being discarded.

MACDONALD. (New.) Roots only. This remarkable variety is the most distinct 
improvement which has been made in rhubarb in a good many years. 
We obtained the original roots a number of years ago from MacDonald College of McGill 
University at Montreal, and have increased our stock by root division. 
The stalks are very large and become a bright crimson color. They are tender, of excellent 
flavor and when cooked they make a beautiful deep pink sauce. The plant is high yielding, 
strong and robust. 
We offer roots only of this variety. Although MacDonald sometimes puts up a seed stalk like
