CULTURE. Seed should be planted in hotbed or green¬ 
house about March 10th to 20th. When plants are 3 
inches high they should be transplanted to 2 or 3 inches 
apart until weather and soil conditions permit for out¬ 
door planting. Then plant in rows 2y 2 feet apart and 
18 inches apart in row. Cultivate same as tomatoes. 
Sunnybrook (Pimento Type)* 
This is a bright red tomato shaped pepper with thick 
firm flesh. It is very sweet and exceptionally mild. It 
comes into bearing early and is very productive. 
Sunnybrook Peppers 
California Wonder* 
A new sweet pepper with very thick flesh. Fruit very 
large, smooth and heavy. A good yielder. It is blocky 
in shape, square in cross section, 4 inches wide and 4 M> 
inches long. Some will weigh as much as a pound each. 
Is deep green when small, changing to crimson. Ma¬ 
tures late but has marketable fruits early. 
Large Bell or Bull Nose* 
This is one of the early Bell shaped peppers. It is some¬ 
what hotter than the larger and later varieties. Large 
Bell is very desirable for pickling. 
World Beater* 
One of the finest large peppers yet introduced. It is a 
cross between the Chinese Giant and Ruby King; fully 
as early as Ruby King and similar in shape, almost the 
size of Chinese Giant and far more prolific. Exception¬ 
ally mild, and can be eaten raw without fear of burning. 
Color of fruit is green at first, turning to a beautiful 
shade of scarlet. Flesh thick, which enables it to hold 
up a long time and makes it an excellent shipper.

A very hot pepper growing 5 to 7 inches in length taper¬ 
ing to a blunt point. The color is of canary yellow with 
waxy appearance. A heavy yielder. A favorite with 
many because of its pungency. 
Rotate Your Crops 
If you plant the same crop on the same piece of 
ground each year, the soil becomes exhausted quicker 
than if you plant a different crop on this same soil. 
Also disease and insect pests multiply much faster 
on soil that has had the same crop, year after year. 
If you plant a root crop one year, do not plant another 
root crop on this same ground the next year.

We carry very select Pepper Plants in May. 
Oshkosh 
This is one of the mildest peppers on the market. When 
ripe it has a rich yellow color. It is very desirable as 
a green pepper as it has the size, is thick meated and is 
very prolific. 
Harris Earliest 
Those who have difficulty in raising Sweet Peppers should 
try Harris Earliest as it is an extra early pepper and 
will mature in a very short season. Plants are very 
uniform in growth, dwarf and compact, seldom over 18 
inches in height, and extremely productive. Fruits mild 
and sweet, similar to Bull Nose in form. A very fine 
pepper for the home garden. 
Chinese Giant* 
One of the largest of the mild red varieties, very thick 
and blocky. In spite of its large size, plants carry an 
enormous amount of fruit and mature early. Fruit can 
be sliced and eaten like tomatoes. Has few seeds. 
Harris Early Giant 
Is considered the earliest of the giant peppers. It is 
larger than the Ruby King but not as long and is a very 
good yielder. 
Long Red Cayenne* 
Is about % to 1 inch in diameter and 5 to 7 inches long. 
Although this also is pungent, it is not as sharp as 
the Small Cayenne. For pickling, either green or ripe. 
Small Red Cayenne* 
Is only y 2 inch in diameter and 4 to 4^ inches long. Is 
very hot, and used mostly in sauces. 
Giant Magnum Dulce* 
Is about 4 inches in diameter and 5 or 6 inches long. 
Is very mild, and can be eaten raw. It is replacing the 
Chinese Giant with the market gardeners on account 
of its heavy yielding qualities. 
Neapolitan 
A very early and productive large variety. The fruit is 
oblong and has a light green color gradually changing 
to golden and finally to a bright red. Very mild and 
sweet. 
FERTILIZER FOR PEPPERS 
As a side-dressing, use 6-15-9 three times during the 
growing season, until peppers are well set. 
PEAS 
CULTURE FOR GARDEN PEAS 
Sow seed 2 inches deep in rich soil very early in the 
spring and for a succession put in varieties that mature 
at different periods or if dwarfs only are desired, sow 
a few rows every 10 days throughout the season. For 
hand cultivation sow in rows 15 inches apart, but if 
grown on a large scale it is best to sow in rows from 
2 to 3 feet apart and cultivate them with a horse or trac¬ 
tor. One pound of seed will plant 100 ft. of row; 75 to 100 
lbs. of seed required to an acre. 
FERTILIZER FOR PEAS 
Use about 300 pounds to the acre of 4-16-4, in drills, 
to get the best returns from your Pea crop. Fertilizer 
will improvb the quality and increase the crop greatly.

American Wonder, but slightly larger and will bear for 
a longer period than other varieties. The Peas are 
green, wrinkled, of sweet, delicious flavor, and excellent 
quality.

very sweet and tender. Especially suited for home gar¬ 
dens and early market gardening.

is stout and heavy, about 12 inches high with an abun¬ 
dance of pods containing 6 light green wrinkled Peas 
each. The Peas are unsurpassed in sweetness and qual¬ 
ity and are very desirable for the home gardener. 
Inoculate peas with Nitragin. Increase the quality 
and yield greatly.
