Dreer’s WEGETABLE SEEDS 
Piment, FR. Pimiento, Sp. 
Peperone, ITAL. Pepper Pfeffer, GER. 
One ounce of seed will produce about 1000 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 plant- 
ing 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.
