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. Cultivate 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.

Keu Cherry profusion of round, bright red fruits which 
are very pungent when ripe. A very ornamental plant, when 
in fruit.' Pkt. 5c; Oz. 30c.

they readily mix with and injure the quality of the finer squash. After danger of frost is oyer plant the seed in hil Iseight to ten 
J J J feet apart each way. dropping about a dozen seeds in a hill. The soil 
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.
