EARLY MATURITY, AND PURITY 
is usua 
Culture. A high temperature is required to germinate Pepper see 
.j usually difficult to get a stand when the ground is wet and cold. Sow the 
seed early in hotbeds or in protected boxes (see Dirt-Bands described on page 
63), or delay planting until the ground has become well warmed. When plants 
have 6 to 8 leaves, and danger of frost is over, they may be transplanted to 
the open ground in rows 3 feet apart and 1 )4 to 2 feet between plants. A rich 
fertilizer hoed into the soil after the plants are 6 to 8 inches tall will prove very 
beneficial. Cultivate and keep free of weeds. One ounce will produce 1000 
plants; )4 pound will sow an acre.
