CULTURE — Pepper seed must be started early in the hot bed or boxes in the house. The plants cannot stand 
cold and so should not be planted out in the open until May 15th, or all frost danger is past. Space the plants 
18 to 24 inches apart each way, and keep well cultivated. Any good garden soil if not too dry will grow peppers. 
Do not plant hot varieties next to sweet ones.

Spinach strains 
CULTURE —Spinach is almost an all year round crop 
because of its hardiness. Very early and several later 
spring plantings should be made to provide leaves for 
late spring and summer. For these plantings use King 
of Denmark, Juliana or Bloomsdale. During the sum¬ 
mer we suggest New Zealand or Tetragonia._ Again in 
the late summer you can plant the other varieties and 
with a slight protection of straw over winter they will 
give leaves soon after snow goes. The Bloomsdale is 
excellent for fall planting. Sow in drills ^ inch deep, 
the rows 12 to 16 inches apart. Thin out to 4 or 5 inches.
