ORNAMENTAL PEPPERS 
Equally as interesting in growing and being varied in types and number as tomatoes 
are peppers or capsicum: family. Coded in the above photo as follows: No. 1 Golden Wax; 
No. 2 Red Hot; No. 3 Purple Leaf; No. 4 Squash; No. 5 Cherry; No. 6 Christmas Tree; 
No. 7 Black Cuban. Each Strain: Pkt. 25c. 
GOLDEN WAX, No. 1: Long Hungarian-type, extremely hot, ripens to a waxy golden 
yellow, never gets red. Medium size plants. 
RED HOT, No. 2: True to its name. one of the hottest peppers that exists. Low grow- 
ing, small flat bush, prolific bearer, ripening most fruits all at once. 
PURPLE LEAF, No. 3: Beautiful dark purple leaves, stems and fruit. The fruit turns 
red on ripening, very hot. Plants grow about 2% feet high and make very con- 
trasting borders for walks or backgrounds. 
SQUASH, No. 4: Compact bushy plants produce squash-shaped yellow fruit. extremely 
hot. Very odd. 
CHERRY, No. 5: Very dwarf bushy plants, excellent for flower pots. Bear profusely 
cherry-size peppers, which look identical to cherries. Beautiful tinged purple and 
white fruit turn to white, then red finally. 
CHRISTMAS TREE, No. 6: Plants about two feet high bear fruit the shape and size 
of Christmas tree light bulbs and having many colors of purple, white, yellow and 
finally red. Very ornamental. 
BLACK CUBAN, No. 7: Borne in clusters and protruding upward above the small bushy 
plants. Fruit at setting is green, turning black and finally red. Stems of red 
ripe clusters may be cut and dried for a fine bouquet. Very fine for flower pot cul- 
ture. While this strain seems not to be entirely fixed, with some variation in length 
and size of pods, one thing is fixed, that is the atomic heat in every pod. In our 
opinion it's the hottest little thing on earth. 
ACONCAGUA (Shown in 1954 catalog): Giant extremely thick fleshy fruit up to 10% 
inches long and weighing up to 12 ounces. Very crisp and mild. Seed very limited 
this year. Pkt. 50c.
