Culture. The pods of the pepper are used in sauces, salads, 
soups or as a seasoning and the large mild varieties called 
mangoes are eaten from the hand or variously stuffed and pre¬ 
pared with cabbage, tomatoes or meat. The pods of green 
peppers are green until in ripening they turn red or yellow, 
according to the variety. Start pepper in hotbeds, maintaining a 
temperature of 70 degrees and in other ways treat like a tomato. 
Set out of doors after frosts in 30 inch rows, giving each plant 
18 inches in a row. One ounce of seed gives 2,000 plants and 
one-quarter pound plants an acre.
