D. M. FERRY & CO’S DESCRIPTIVE CATALOGUE, 49 
PEPPER 
The culture of pepper is the same as for egg plant; the 
plants need quite as much heat to perfect them, but ma- 
turé sooner and may be sown later, or even planted out of 
doors after warm weather has fairly set in. Guano, hen 
dung, or any other bird manure, hoed into the surface 
soil when the plants are about six inches high, will 
wonderfully increase the product and also improve the 
quality of the fruit.

PUMPKIN. 
The pumpkin more properly belongs to the farm than the 
garden, especially as it readily mixes with and injures the 
quality of the squash. Pumpkins are not so particular in 
regard to soil as melons or cucumbers, but in other respects 
are cultivated the same, though on a larger scale. They are 
generally raised between hills of corn, but may be planted 
“with success in fields by themselves.

for cooking purposes and feeding stock. The shape is irregu- [2
