SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS

[29] 



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. 



Rounl Kino P'^''** grow about 2% feet high, and are vigorous; 

 Miitfyu* £\.viiy compact and very productive, commencing to bear 

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

 bright and glossy and the extremely thick flesh is sweet and mild. They 

 will stand distant shipping and hold up well for market as they do not 

 wilt nor become ripe near so quickly as other large varieties. This 

 strain is extensively grown in the South by large shippers and deservea 

 the attention of every trucker and home gardener.
