PEPPERS 
Pepper seed should be sown in February or March in a 
warm hotbed or in a box placed in a sunny window of 
a warm room. The seeds require plenty of heat and mois¬ 
ture to germinate. Transplant the young seedlings as 
soon as they can be handled. 6 to 8 weeks are required 
to raise plants large enough for setting outdoors, and 
the first Peppers will be-ready for picking in 100 to 140 
days, depending upon the variety. One oz. of seed 
produces about 1500 strong plants; spacing the plants 
2x3 feet, 5 ozs. are required to set out one acre. 
823 Bull Nose—Sweet 
This standard variety grows 2 ft. in height. It is prolific 
and ripens quite early. The fruits are rich scarlet, 3 in. in 
length and 2 in. in diameter. They are angular in shape. 
Occasionally a plant will produce hot fruits but usually 
they are sweet. It is a standard early variety and popular 
for pickling. There is also a “hot” variety which we are 
offering as Large Bell (see next page).
