The culture of pepper is the same as for 
egg plant; the plants need quite as much 
heat to perfect them, though they mature 
sooner and may be sown a little later. 
Guano, hen dung, or any other bird ma- 
nure, hoed into the surface soil when the 
plants are about six inches high, will wonderfully increase the product and also im- 
prove the quality of the fruit. 
A second early sort. Plant tall, bearing a profusion of bright red, 
Red Cherry round fruit, nich is very pungent when ripe. The plant is very 
handsome and an ornament to the garden. is

- ~ We consider this a true Pumpkin 
ie impkin rather than a Squash, as it is some- 
times called, but under any name 
it is a decided acquisition. It makes a pie which most people 
consider superior to one made from any other variety of either 
squash or pumpkin. The nearly round, comparatively small 
fruit is covered with a fine gray netting over a smooth, yel- 
low skin. Flesh very thick, sweet and fine flavored.
