Peppers 
1 oz. to 1,500 plants 
6 to 8 weeks to produce 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 pro- 
duction of a big crop.

Long Red Cayenne long and slender; bright 
red color and very pungent. This is an old-time favorite
