One ounce of seed for 1000 or 1500 plants. 

 CULTURE — Sow seed in flats under glass in March; transplant seedlings, when 2 to 3 inches high, into other flats, 4 inches apart 

 each way or into individual pots, either clay or paper, to encourage good root systems. When the weather has become thoroughly settled 



and danger from belated freezes is over (about corn planting time), 

 transplant to open ground in warm, very rich and well-prepared 

 soil, placing rows 3 feet apart, with plants 2 feet apart in the rows. 

 The large, sweet sorts have become very popular and are always 

 in demand. PEPPER PLANTS. (See page 212.)

 One ounce of seed to 125 feet of drill. 

 CULTURE — Good plants are easily grown in any good garden 

 soil. Sow seed thinly in shallow drills 1 foot apart, thin to 4 or 

 5 inches. Keep soil loose and free from weeds. The plants are 

 liable to vary considerably. Pick out the strongest and best. 

 In fall or spring following, transplant to the permanent bed, 4 feet 

 apart each way, in deep, warm and very rich soil. The more 

 manure the better stalks. For winter forcing take up two-year 

 roots in fall, leave out to freeze, then bed close together on cellar 

 bottom or under greenhouse bench in the dark.
