sow NOW -SPANISH PIMENTO SEED 



or SWEET PEPPER, like we import from Spain— 

 the beet money-maker on the market as a plant or 

 producer. I have grown plants that produced 94 

 ripe peppers to the plant. They are the most beau- 

 tiful peppers grown, sweet as an apple and thick 

 meat ; weigh 38 lbs. to the bu. Sold on the open 

 market in Columbus for $3.00 per bu. Will yield 

 500 bu. per acre. The Pimento Cheese is made 

 from them in a fresh state, as you see from refer- 



L. C. ADSIT, - 



ence. I have a limited supply at $1.00 per trade 

 packet or $2.00 per oz. Every greenhouse or gar- 

 dener should have it. Sow early in March in tem- 

 perature of 65 and treat as ma ngoes.

My Dear Mr. Ads it: Your letter of February 8 at band, and in 

 reply will say that the pimento seed which we bought of jou last 

 spring germinated in the greenhouse and the plants bore an abundant 

 supply of pimentos. 



We used the pimentos for makirg our pimento cheese, and the 

 quality was just as good as those that were imported from Spain. 

 Yours very truly. R. B. Stoi tz.

FEBTILIZEBS FOB CABBAGE. 



I want to grow an acre of Early 

 Jersey Wakefield cabbage. Please tell 

 me what is the best fertilizer to use, 

 the quantity per acre and the cost. I 

 am going to plant frost-proof cabbage 

 plants. E. W. P.— 111. 



Cabbages prefer a rich, heavy loam. 

 They succeed best where the ground 

 has been given twenty to thirty tons 

 of barnyard manure in the fall and has 

 been deeply plowed. If the land is at 

 all sour and has not been recently limed, 

 apply 1,000 pounds per acre in early 

 spring and harrow it in well. The fall 

 manuring can be supplemented by com- 

 mercial fertilizer in spring. As you 

 probably wish to apply commercial fer- 

 tilizer only, I would apply 600 pounds 

 of acid phosphate, or its equivalent. 

 This furnishes the phosphoric acid 

 which is necessary to successful cab- 

 bage culture. Also ' use 200 pounds 

 muriate of potash and 100 pounds ni- 

 trate of soda, harrowing these in well. 

 I would also give a couple of applica- 

 tions of nitrate of soda after the plants 

 are started; the first when the plants 

 are five to six inches high, the second 

 fourteen days later. This will greatly 

 stimulate the growth. Do not use over
