SUPERIOR VEGETABLE SEEDS 



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. 



RftVdl Kin<5 Plants grow about 2J^ feet high, and are vigorous; 

 IVUy a.1 IVHlg 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 becomeripe near so quickly as other large varieties. This strain
