128 THE SEED-GROWER. 



brush, or what is a nice way, by wire netting fastened 

 to 2x4 stakes driven into the ground. When the vines 

 are to be supported, the rows should be made double, 6 

 inches apart. 



Pepper Transplant from nursery or hotbed into rows 

 3 feet apart, 18 inches between the plants. 



One ounce will sow 300 feet of drill or produce 1,500 

 plants. 



Hot varieties should not be grown near mild kinds, 

 to prevent the former imparting their more pungent 

 nature to the latter. 



Pumpkin Make hills 8 feet apart each way. Plant 

 8 to 10 seeds to a hill, thinning out to two of the strong- 

 est plants to a hill, when danger from bugs is over. 



One ounce will plant 15 hills; one pound, one acre. 



When grown with corn every fourth hill of every 

 fourth row may be sown with pumpkin seed. The 

 pumpkin plants will stand cultivation of the corn with- 

 out injury, and after corn-culture stops, will cover the 

 field. 



Radish Sow -J-inch deep in drills 10 to 12 inches 

 apart. Thin to 2 inches apart for the small varieties; 

 3 to 4 inches for the large sorts. They mature more 

 rapidly when standing well apart. 



One ounce will sow 100 feet of drill; 8 pounds, one 

 acre. 



Tc have radishes in perfection, they should be grown 

 in a light, warm soil, and the richer and more friable 

 it can be made the better. Quality depends on quick- 

 ness of growth; the roots delight in a temperature of 

 45 to 65. 



Rhubarb Sow in drills 1 foot apart, thinning to 10 

 inches apart. Transplant in autumn or following 

 spring into rows 3 feet each way.
