VEGETABLE SEEDS 

LATE VARIETIES 
Mature to pick in about 75 days. 
Tall Telephone or Alderman. A handsome, large podded varie- 
ty. Unexcelled for home gardens, for local markets and for 
shipping. Bears immense crops, wilt resistant. Pods single, 
very broad, plump, straight, dark green, pointed, contain 8 to 
10 peas of highest quality. 
Dwarf Telephone. Only about 2 feet tall. Resembles Tele- 
phone, and the pods are well filled with peas of the same 
good quality. It is an excellent variety to follow the early 
peas in the home garden. Seeds large, wrinkled, green. 
Improved Stratagem. A superior late variety. Vines deep 
green, 26 inches tall, stocky and branching. Pods single and 
paired, wide, nearly round, straight, pointed, dark green. Con- 
tain 8 to 10 tender peas. 
PEPPER 
% oz. to 100 ft., 1 to 2 Ibs. per acre. 
Culture and soil and temperature requirements are about 
the same as for eggplant. A moderate dressing of Guano, 
poultry manure, or complete commercial fertilizer, hoed into 
the soil after the plants are 6 to 8 inches tall, will be very 
beneficial. Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 60c. 
California Wonder. Thickness of flesh alone, which is often 
3, of an inch, places this sweet pepper above all others. It is 
erisp 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 wide. 
Chinese Giant. Fruits are often 6 inches across and 4% to 5 
inches deep. The flesh is moderately thick and very mild. 
The fruits are rich bright green when young, and bright 
cherry red at maturity. 
Large Bell or Bullnose. A popular, early, sweet prolific sort, 
with small, erect plants. Fruits blunt; flesh of fine quality 
and mild flavor. Much used for stuffing. 
Long Red Cayenne. This well known, medium early pepper 
is especially good for drying purposes. The fruit is 4 inches 
long and 1 inch thick, twisted and pointed. It is deep green 
when young and bright red when ripe. The flesh is strong 
and pungent. 
Perfection Pimiento. A splendid canning variety, adapted to 
home and market garden culture. Plants large, erect, prolific. 
Fruits heart shaped, very smooth; flesh exceptionally thick, 
sweet and mild. 
PUMPKIN 
4 oz. to 100 ft., 3 to 4 Ibs. per acre. 
Pumpkins are typically American, and pumpkin pie is one 
of our truly American dishes. They are less sensitive to un- 
favorable conditions of soil and weather than melons or cu- 
cumbers, but they are cultivated in about the same way. 
Pkt. 5c; 1 oz. 15e. 
Large Yellow or Connecticut Field. This sort is grown largely 
in the corn field for stock, but the flesh is moderately fine 
grained, highly flavored, and very good for pies. The fruits 
weigh about 20 pounds and are a rich, deep orange yellow. 
Sugar or New England Pie. The earliest and best variety for 
pies. Fruits commonly 6 inches long and 8 to 9 inches in 
diameter: flattened, furrowed. Skin smooth, of a rich, reddish- 
orange color; rind hard. Flesh is thick and orange-yellow. 
Winter Luxury. This variety is very popular for the home 
garden. The fruit matures in 75 to 80 days, weighs 84% pounds, 
and is nearly round. The skin is light yellow with a russet 
tinge and finely netted; the flesh is rich creamy yellow, very 
thick, sweet, and finely flavored.
