Early Giant Pepper (Harris) (See colored plate opposite.) 723 Our many customers in the more northerly parts of the Country will surely be gratified to learn of this recent introduction into the list of large sweet Peppers. Where formerly only one or two of the smaller early types could be grown with any certainty of securing a crop, this new variety will produce strong stocky plants covered with large fruits, 4^ to 5 inches high and 4 inches thick, with very thick flesh, and not a trace of fieriness.

Color when matured is a bright red, and we consider this introduction of great value, both to the amateur and the commercial grower, and particularly so north of Pennsylvania.

The shape is that of the true red turnip Radish, color crimson and flesh is of a mild and pleasant flavor. It is a splendid variety for home use, as it grows rapidly and is very uniform in size and shape. "Crimson Ball" has been a favorite with many of our customers ever since its introduc- tion, and may be used for forcing under glass as well as for growing outside in the garden, and will make fine Radishes even during the hot summer months.

The plant forms compact thick tufts, with numer- ous leaves of a rich dark green, broad and pointed, and much crumpled. The leaf stalks are very short, being another important point in favor of this sort. A sowing of this variety every 3 or 4 weeks will insure a constant supply of this healthful vege- table.
