PEPPERS

One packet will produce enough plants for the home-garden; one ounce will

Culture. Pepper seeds should be sown in a greenhouse or hotbed, because 
they require heat and moisture to germinate. When the seedlings have their 
third pair of leaves, transplant them into individual pots; and as soon as all 
danger of frost is over, set them out in the garden. Prepare the ground well, 
using plenty of well-rotted manure. Space the plants 3 feet apart each way 
and hoe frequently and thoroughly.

for pne acre. 
Culture. On the farm, Pumpkins are usually sown in the cornfield. Drop

vines make such rampant growth they are not suited for small home-gardens. 
Where space permits they may be sown 6 to 8 feet apart and treated like melons.

planted in the East in the cornfields. It grows to excellent size,

flesh, deliciously sweet in pies.

for stock and exhibition. Fruits are bright lemon, mottled with 
orange, and will run from 60 to 100 pounds each. Rind and flesh are 
very hard and firm.
