Peppers 



1 oz. to 1,500 plants. 



Peppers should be sown either indoors or in hotbeds early in April 

 and transplanted to the permanent teds 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. /
