GARDEN STEPS 



Varieties 



There are several types of pepper which may be 

 grown successfully in any good garden land. The 

 Large Bell, or Bull Nose pepper, is seen very often 

 in the market. The fruit is large, and the flesh is 



thick, being rather 

 less pungent than 

 most varieties. The 

 Squash pepper, 

 which is much used 

 for pickling, is very 

 hardy and matures 

 quickly. It is shaped 

 much like a tomato, 

 growing on short, 

 dwarfed plants. The 

 Italian and Chinese 

 Giant are both much 

 grown in warm states. They are very large and 

 have the ,mild flavor required in sweet peppers. 



Growing from Seed 



Pepper plants, as well as seed, are for sale in most 

 large towns. The plants, though slow in starting, 

 are very hardy and easy to grow in the window 

 box. A very small box allows room enough. Put 

 into a small, shallow box three inches of rich, light 

 soil and make it level and firm. Then punch holes
