Pepper is highly valued for the pungent flavor 

 and is used in seasoning soups, meats, etc., also 

 used for pickles and mangoes. Early in the 

 spring sow the seed on a gentle hotbed, or in a 

 box placed near a 'window, in a warm room, and

 spot of the garden about the middle of May and 

 transplant them when about two inches high, in 

 rows 18 inches apart and 18 inches in the row.
