108 Growing Flowers 



Pepper Plants 



Pepper plants require rich, well-drained but moist 

 soil and frequent cultivation. They should be 

 given plenty of fresh air and occasionally should 

 be placed in the strong sunlight. The plants 

 should be kept free from dust by sponging with a 

 soapsud solution. 



A pepper plant fo% the house during the winter 

 months will lend a touch of color when all flowering 

 plants refuse to blossom. These plants require 

 sunlight and should be put in the sun for a little 

 while each day. 



Periwinkle 



The periwinkle is a tender little plant but it 

 grows and spreads rapidly and is self -perpetuating. 

 The seed should be sown in a flat or hotbed and the 

 young plants transplanted when about two inches 

 in height. It requires a rich soil and plenty of 

 moisture. 



When planting periwinkles in rows, make double 

 or triple rows and the effect will be very pleasing. 

 The plants should be set from six to eight inches 

 apart.
