70 Potatoes 



A wire fence on which to train the peas, beans, and 

 other climbing vegetables will prove much cheaper 

 in the long run than stakes or especially made 

 trellises, not to mention the greater ease with 

 which it can be erected each spring and taken 

 down and stored away in the fall. 



PEPPERS 



Peppers should be sown in the hotbed in February 

 and transplanted to the open ground as soon as the 

 danger of trost is over. They require a rich soil, 

 but will grow very well in almost any kind of soil. 



Pruning peppers will produce a fine, large variety 

 of fruit. 



Peppers need only an average amount of mois- 

 ture, but they should be well watered when being 

 transplanted. Peppers have a long season and do 

 not need to be planted but once each year. 



Peppers are easily injured and should be gath- 

 ered before frost falls on them. 



POTATOES 



Prom the middle to the last of June is the usual 

 time for planting potatoes in the North.
