Text Appearing After Image:
Bull Nose. Pkt.. 5 cts. GOLDEN DAWN.—All reports from those who have tested Golden Dawn have been of the most favoratole character. In shape it resembles the Bull Nose, except that it is a little more pointed on the end ; in color, it is a beautiful golden yellow, which, as all will recognize, is a very distinctive feature. It is very sweet, not the slightest suspicion of a fiery flavor about it, and withal, very productive. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 30 cents; y*pound, 81.00. SWEET SPANISH.—The earliest; verv mild and pleasant. Packet, 5 cts; ounce, 25 cts. LARGE BELL, OR BULL NOSE.—It is early; bright red in color; very mild ; thick flesh and of large size, excellent for stuffing. Pkt.: 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; M pound, 75 cts.; pound, 82.50. SWEET MOUNTAIN—Larger and of milder flavor than above. Productive and very desirable. Packet, 5 cents ; ounce, 25 cents; V pound, 75 cents ; pound, 82.50. LONG RED CAYENNE True. Pkt,, 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; % lb., 81.00; lb., 83.00. SPANISH MONSTROUS The largest of all except Rutoy King and Procopp's. Frequently grows six inches long and two inches thick. Pkt., 5 cts.; oz., 25 cts., % 1°- ?5 cts. OXHEART.—A hot Pepper all my customers will like. It is one of the very best for pickles, of medium size and heart-shaped. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 40 cents. PROCOPP'S GIANT A mammoth indeed, for while not as large around as Ruby King they frequently grow 9 inches long. Their shape being well illustrated in the above cut. Flesh is very thick, flavor mild and pleasant. They are of a brilliant red color. It is very sure to please, and I do not hesitate to highly recommend Procopp's Giant to my customers. Pkt., 15e. NEW RED CLUSTER.-This is one of the most distinct and beautiful varieties I have ever seen—in fact, the plants are so ornamental as to deserve a prominent position in the flower gar- den. The illustration shows habit of growth. The small, thin peppers, of a most conspicuous coral-red color, are curiously crowded together in bunches at the top of each branch. A single plant will bear hundreds of these handsome little peppers, which are very hot and pungent in flavor. Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 40 cts. John Harris, Belleville, Ont., Canada. I take pleasure in tendering you my most hearty thanks for the choice garden seeds received from you last year. For the first time in ten years I was able to lead in Early Cabbage, without hot house, from your Etampes, Wakefield and Midsummer; they more than filled the bill. My Celery was also very fine; Tomato Seed, A No. 1. Maule's Earliest Scarlet Radish is choice. Kaule'e Seeds are not sold to dealers, and can only be obtained by ordering them direct from Philadelphia. 60
