HOW TO GROW PEPPERS.- Start the seed in hotbeds, greenhouse, 
or in boxes indoors in March or April. When the plants are about 2 inches 
high, transplant in other boxes, setting them 2 inches apart. Then, when 
the weather is settled, the soil warm, and all danger of freezing over, set 
the plants out, after first preparing the soil well, working in well-rotted 
manure or some good fertilizer. For the home-garden set plants a foot 
apart in the rows and have rows a foot apart. For large plantings make 
rows 2 feet apart. Do not grow sharp and sweet Peppers together; 
they will mix. One ounce will produce 1,000 plants. 
Schell’s Quality Pepper 
First on the Market. 
Outyields All Others 
Immense pods containing 9 or 10 big Peas of delicious flavor 
Schell’s Wonderful Pea was introduced by us and has met the 
desires and won the approval of the many thousands who grow it, 
both in large and small quantities. As the name implies, it is 
wonderful for its unusual vigor and hardiness in its plant-growth; 
wonderful for its very large pods, each filled from tip to tip with 
big, sweet, richly flavored Peas; wonderful for its yields, the 
plants being crowded with their big pods from one end of the row 
to the other. Order it on my recommendation and you will have 
one of the best crops of Peas you ever grew. 
You can see the difference in the seed as well as the crop. 
The best proof of the great popularity of Schell’s Wonderful 
Pea is the fact that year after year the demand for it is greater and 
greater. If you have never grown it, do so this year. For your own 
use or for marketing it is unsurpassed, and indeed it is wonderful 
the way it yields. Plants average 20 inches, need no support, and 
are literally loaded with big pods crowded from tip to tip with big 
Peas of delicious flavor, 9 or 10 in a pod. Ready to pick soon after 
first-early varieties if planted at same time. Grow Schell’s Won¬ 
derful this year and you’ll grow it again. The seed is in very short 
supply this year; better order early. Pkt. 10 cts.; V^lb. 25 ets.;

PEPPERS • Mangoes 
It is the favorite Pepper of market-gardeners and private gardeners everywhere it has been grown. 
We have never seen any other Pepper that can compare with it in the least degree in the remarkable way it yields. 
It is very early and all the Peppers on the plant color up evenly; then the plants continue to yield until stopped by frost or the 
grower. A beautiful, attractive shape, which makes it sell on sight, while its superior quality, sweet as an apple, backs up its 
attractive appearance. It is the most prolific Pepper ever grown in this locality. Color green turning to a beautiful scarlet 
when ripe, it has all the qualities required for the most profitable crop, namely, size, yield, quality, quick to color. No other 
variety can claim all these qualities. Picking the Peppers as early and as often as possible will induce a heavier yield. Pkt. 
10 cts.; 3 pkts. 25 cts.; y 2 oz. 45 cts.; oz. 90 cts.; V41b. $2.50; ib. $8.
