Peppers 
One Ounce of Seed Will Produce 2,000 Plants. 
Culture. Sow seed in flats under glass in March; transplant seedlings, when 
2 to 3 inches high, into other flats, 4 inches apart each way or into indi¬ 
vidual pots, to encourage good root systems. When the weather has 
become thoroughly settled and danger from belated freezes is over (about 
corn planting time), transplant to open ground in warm, rich and well- 
prepared soil, placing rows 3 feet apart, with plants 2 feet apart in the 
rows. 
Sweet Varieties 
HARRIS' EARLIEST GIANT. (90 days). Really a novelty in Peppers 
and yet a real acquisition. The plant is of very dwarf, compact growth 
and is usually so loaded with fruit that it is a marvel the plant can 
support it. We have counted as high as eighteen fruits on a plant growing 
but 18 inches in height. The Peppers are of good form, about 4 inches 
long, 2 to 2% inches in diameter, and very mild and sweet. Pkt., 10c;
