Peppers 
(Por Pepper Plants, see page 44.) 
Peppers add a zest to even the most common 
dishes and will put in that flavor to rouse the lag¬ 
ging appetite of a hot Summer day. Peppers can 
be prepared for the table in so many ways that they 
are always a novelty. A few plants will furnish a 
big yield in the home garden. 
Peppers are one of the best paying market crops. 
The large varieties always command an excellent 
price on the market, although the earlier varieties 
can often be put on a nearby market at very at¬ 
tractive prices. Most varieties are eaten when green 
before they ripen and turn red, but the Sunnybrook 
is equally good red or green. 
Culture. One ounce produces 1,500 plants, 4 to 6 
ounces are required for an acre. The seed requires 
plenty of moisture and warmth to germinate. Pep¬ 
pers should be started in a hotbed, cold frame or 
box and transplanted about the end of May in most 
localities. A light, rich, warm soil is best, although 
they will do well in a sunny corner of the garden. 
Plant in rows about 2 feet apart and about 2 feet 
apart in the rows. Sweet * Peppers should not be 
grown near Hot Peppers or they will take on some 
of the hot flavor.
