. Burpee's novelties for 1890. Nursery stock Pennsylvania Philadelphia Catalogs; Flowers Pennsylvania Catalogs; Vegetables Pennsylvania Catalogs; Seeds Pennsylvania Catalogs. ANBXACT ILLUSTRATION OF A NATURAL SIZE SPECIMEN. BURPEFS RUBY KING PEPPER. It is six years since we first introduced this magnificent variety, and so steadily has it gained in popular favor that our sales in a single season have numbered over 36,OOO packages of the seed. We have grown large crops of our ex^ra selected seed, and can unhesitatingly recommend it as the best and most profitable mild red pepper for market or family use. All who have seen our crops were enthu- siastic in praise of the beautiful plants crowded with the large, handsome fruits, of a bright, ruby-red color. The illustration above does not exaggerate their natural size or handsome appearance^ as they ordinarily grow 4y2, to 6 inches long by inches through. Added to their beautiful color, when ripe, is the great desideratum that they are remark- ably mild and pleasant to the taste ; in this respect unequaled by any other Red Peppo", and e only by Burpee's Golden Upright, our grand new yellow pepper. We cannot t^ o strongly recommend t^ie Ruby King—so mild and pleasant is their flavor fRat they can even be sliced and eaten with pepper and vinegar (like tomatoes or cucum- bers), aiitl make a very pleasant and appetizing salad ; while for stuffing, or for pepper hash, i". variety can equal them. The plant is of sturdy, bushy habit, and each plant produces from t rixteen large, handsome fruits. One of our customers ia New Jersey sent us two l>eautiful bearing twenty-two and twenty-five peppers respectively. THE RuBY KlNG is undoubtedly a ereat acquisition, and should be in every garden.
