PEPPERS 
1 oz. to 1,500 plants. 
Peppers should be sown either indoors or in hotbeds early in April 
and transplanted to the permanent beds when about 3 inches high in 
two foot drills and two feet apart in the drills. The seed can also be 
sown in open ground when danger from frost is past but the crop will 
naturally be much later. A top dressing of fertilizer or poultry manure 
well mixed with the soil when the plants are about 6 inches high will 
materially aid in the production of a big crop.

very early and continuing until killed by frost. The fruit is very large.
