Grow Goliath Peppers For Market 
We assure you that there will be no time when you will 
have to take unsold peppers back home. GOLIATH PEPPER 
will sell itself and you will not have enough to supply the 
demand. That is our experience. GOLIATH PEPPER is 
unlike all other peppers, it is a real wonder, it is immense, 
a great suiprise. We grow GOLIATH PEPPER on our seed 
farm and many market gardeners from our city and Omaha 
went through our field of GOLIATH PEPPERS. Were they 
surprised by the sight? Judge yourself. One said: “This is 
the most wonderful and largest pepper I have ever seen.” 
Said another: “I have never seen so many big peppers on 
a plant,’ Says a third: “DeGiorgi, you have a most wonder- 
ful pepper, something that will make money for all gardeners 
that will plant it.” 
GOLIATH PEPPER will give at least double the returns 
from an acre over other varieties, because it yields more 
than twice as heavy a crop and because it brings double the 
price common peppers do. 
So very valuable is GOLIATH PEPPER that many of 
our customers who have been growing it before are saving 
their own seed, as they do not want to take the chances of 
us having a crop failure. They know that if they should be 
unable to procure the seed of GOLIATH PEPPER it would 
mean a big loss to them. 
All gardeners that have seen our crop of Peppers for 
seed were surprised by the sight and all asked us to save 
some seed for them. We showed GOLIATH PEPPERS to 
the owner of the largest and finest grocery store in our city. 
He did not believe his eyes and when told we grew those 
peppers right here on our farm he showed signs that he did 
not believe us. “No,” says he, “these peppers were shipped to 
you from somewhere, do not tell me that peppers like that 
can be grown here in Iowa.” Well, we showed him our field 
and he now believes. We say about our GOLIATH PEPPER: 
At a single picking you will get from a single plant 10 or 
more most beautiful and largest peppers you have ever seen. 
The peppers are so large that it is impossible to put more 
than 20 peppers in a market basket of one-third bushel <a-

COUNCIL BLUFFS, IOWA 
GOLIATH PEPPER makes large sturdy plants and should 
be allowed more space than common varieties. We plant 30 
inches apart each way. To get fruit of exceptionally large 
size grow on rich ground where no peppers were grown the 
year before and do not let your plants suffer for lack of 
moisture. 
WHICH IS THE BEST PEPPER? 
The best paying large sweet bell pepper is still the variety 
Goliath. It does well in every part of the country, especially so in 
Florida. Harris’ Early Giant is another real good early pepper but 
we do not recommend it for the South where it proved to be a shy 
cropper. Much is heard about Ozark Giant and Calwonder pepper. 
Both these varieties are high class and every market gardener should 
give these two peppers a trial. The most popular hot pepper is the 
variety Improved Thick Long Red. 
CULTURE—1 oz. of seed will produce about 2,000 plants; 6 ozs, 
plants an acre. The culture of the peppers is similar to Hgg Plant. 
Have the plants in hot beds 3x3 inches and in the fleld in rows 3 
feet apart and 18 inches apart in the rows. Pepper requires very 
rich soil in order to develop fruit of large size. 
Rhubarb 
CULTURE—1 oz. for 100 feet of row. Sow in rows 18 inches 
apart and thin to 6 inches apart in the row. The following spring 
set out your roots in rows 4 feet apart and 3 feet apart in the rows. 
Rhubarb requires very rich soil. To get a full stand press the seeds 
into the ground @rmly, cover the seed inch deep. 
SHOULD THE SEED STALKS BE CUT OUT—They should to 
encourage,.the leaf growth and the development of the roots. 
FORCING RHUBARB—This is profitable. If you have room 
under benches, plant the rhubarb. No attention necessary except 
watering. Only heavy roots full of life are suited for forcing. Dig 
up in the fall, pile up, cover lightly with soil and allow to freeze 
before planting under the benches. THarly in spring dig the roots 
and plant back in the field.
