PEPPER 



Uses in cooking have divided garden peppers into two classes, 

 "Hot" and "Sweet." Hot peppers are used principally in con- 

 diments, in pickles, and in relishes. They are smaller than the 

 sweet ones, and the smallest varieties are usually the hottest. 

 Sweet peppers are larger and have thick flesh. Their flavor is 

 pleasantly mild, and they are becoming more and more popular 

 for stuff ng, for use in salads, and for combining with other vege- 

 tables and with meats. 



Their culture and soil and temperature requirements are about 

 the same as that for egg plant. A moderate dressing of guano, 

 poultry manure, or complete commercial f ertihzer, hoed into the 

 soil after the plknts are 6 or 8 inches tall, will be very beneficial. 



"SWEET" VARIETIES 



CALIFORNIA WONDER Thickness of flesh alone, which 



is often f g of an inch, places this sweet pepper above 



aU others. It is crisp and juicy, too, without a trace 



of pungency. Vigorous growing plants bear 



a heavy yield of blocky fruits that become 



as much as 5 inches long and 4 inches wide. 



They are unusually good for serving whole.
