PEPPER 
Peppers are most largely used for seasoning meat, and vegetable dishes; also for making chow chow and chili sauce The 
culture is the same as for egg plant and the plants need quite as much heat to perfect them. Sow seed early in hotbed or about 
middle of spring in open seed bed, the soil being light and warm. When three inches high transplant in rows about two and one- 
half feet apart and two feet apart in the row. C*ulti\ ate and keep free from weeds. Guano, hen dung, or any other bird manure 
hoed into the surface soil when the plants are about six inches high, will undoubtedly increase the product.

scale. They are raised between hills of corn or in fields by themselves,'

they readily mix with and injure the quality of the finer squash. 
but more properly belong to the farm than the garden as 
After danger of frost is over plant the seed in hills eight to ten 
feet apart each way, dropping about a dozen seeds in a hill. The soil 
a t 
should be made as rich as possible. If planted with corn two or three 
seeds a rod apart each way will be sufficient. When danger from 
bugs is past, thin to three plants to a hill.
