PEPPERS OR CAPSICUMS. 



These are generally grown in our gardens for the pur- 

 pose of pickling in their green or half ripe state. 



A light sandy soil suits them best, but fair crops can be 

 obtained upon almost any soil, if it is well manured and 

 kept well stirred with the hoe. The seeds may be sown in 

 drills half an inch deep and six inches apart, in a hot-bed, 

 about the first week in April, or in pots or boxes in a 

 kitchen window, as directed for egg-plants ; or they may 

 be sown in a warm border early in May. When the plants 

 are two inches high, they should be planted out in rows two 

 feet apart, and from fifteen to eighteen inches apart on the 

 row. If the fruit is not wanted early in the season, the 

 seed may be sown in the open ground where they are to 

 remain, towards the end of May, in drills two feet apart and 

 half an inch deep, dropping three or four seeds at the dis- 

 tance apart the plants are to stand, and when they are an 

 inch or two hi^h pulling up all but one plant. 



The after culture consists in deep hoeings of the ground 

 and keeping it clear of weeds. 



There are five or six sorts generally grown.
