PEPPERS Hot Ones 
Fresh Peppers are excellent to have on hand for 
salads, pickles and mangoes—as well as for seasoning 
meats and vegetable dishes. The milder varieties are 
relished by many in sandwiches. Everyone with a 
garden should surely plant Peppers. They add fine 
flavor to relishes, winter sauces and salads. 
FOR DRYING FOR WINTER USE the Large Bell or 
Harris Giant is the best, while for STUFFING PURPOSES 
we recommend Pimiento, Ruby King and Chinese Giant. 
King of the North and Early Giant are best for the 
North. FOR HOT SAUCES use the Red Cayenne sorts. 
CULTURE. —Peppers like a light, rich, warm soil for 
best results. They require about same treatment as 
tomatoes. Sow seed in hotbed early in April and trans¬ 
plant to open ground when weather is settled—or 
start seed outside after all danger of frost is past. 
One ounce is sufficient for about 1,500 plants, V4 pound 
to transplant one acre. Spray with “Ever Green” to de¬ 
stroy cutworms.
