Sweet Peppers 



Culture! Sow Pepper seed in March or April in hotbed, green-

 and keep the soil moist and very warm. After all danger of frost is 

 past, set the plants out in the open ground, in rows 2 to 3 ft. 

 apart and 18 in. apart in the rows. A pacset will produce about 100 

 plants; an ounce about 1,500 plants; M lb. for an acre.
