Penner Culture Send for our hotbed leaflet—it is free. 
One ounce of seed will produce about 3,000 to 4,000 
plants if growing conditions are good. Allow some 
for safety. Sow the seed to a depth of about V 2 inch in hotbed 8 to 10 weeks 
before time to transplant in open field. Pepper requires more heat than tomato 
and we have found it advisable to soak the seed for a few hours in warm water. 
Then spread between damp cloths kept in a warm place until sprouts begin to 
appear. Plant without delay. Spray with solution of Semesan to guard against 
damping off. 
Set out the plants after the ground is thoroughly warm; in this latitude 
during the latter part of May. Rows may be 2 to 3 feet apart and the plants 
15 to 20 inches in the row depending on the variety. 
If you wish information regarding the building and managing of hotbeds, 
let us know and we will send leaflet.

Our Pepper Seed Pepper is one of our special items, and we give it par¬ 
ticular attention. Our stock seeds are saved from indi¬ 
vidual plants, and by line breeding, we have developed 
more uniform plants and fruits than is usual. We wish to call particular atten¬ 
tion to California Wonder and World Beater. California Wonder, because of its 
extremely thick walls, is the best variety to grow for shipping. Southern planters 
will be well pleased with our stock of World Beater. We recommend varieties as 
follows: early mangoes, Harris Early Giant and Ruby King; main crop, World 
Beater and California Wonder; for hot or pungent peppers use Anaheim Chili 
for drying or canning; Long Thick Red for purposes for which ordinary Cayenne 
would be used. Oshkosh is a very desirable golden variety. If you have never 
tried our pepper seed, we suggest that you at least make comparative plantings 
with that you are now using. We believe a trial will convince you.
