WHAT TO GROW (Continued) 



PEPPER 



THIS vegetable is considered by the house- 

 wife as one of the most important of all garden 

 vegetables, because of its usefulness in season- 

 ing soups and salads, and as a basis for pickles, 

 chow-chow, piccalilli, and various other appe- 

 tizing condiments which the good cook takes 

 delight in making. 



The larger sorts are mainly used for pick- 

 ling, because of their thicker flesh and milder 

 flavor. The smaller kinds are favorites for 

 flavoring soups and sauces. 



Ruby Giant is a large-growing sort much 

 used in making mangoes and for pickling. 



Long Red Cayenne has a very pungent 

 flavor, and is the standard variety used in 

 soups and sauces. 



Other desirable sorts are Golden Dawn, for 

 mango-making and chow-chow, and Sweet 

 Spanish, for use in salads.
