24 J. MANNS & CO., Forrest and Hillen Sts., Baltimore, Md. SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 
Peppers 
1 oz. to 1,500 plants. 
Peppers should be sown either indoors er in hotbeds early in April 
and transplanted to the permanent keds 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.

in this country. The type is firmly established, producing frui:
