Sow the seed in hot-beds about the middle of March, 
and transplant the seedlings to 2 by 2 inches apart as 
soon as they are strong enough. It is an advantage to 
shift the plants again, two or three weeks later, into 
pots of proper size. In the latter part of May, when the 
ground is warm, plant in the garden in rows 2 feet apart, 
leaving 12 or 14 inches between plants in the row. Pep¬ 
pers should be cultivated in the same way as egg-plants, 
and will thrive in any w T ell-drained soil. 
One ounce of seed will produce about 2000 plants.

Radish 
(Raphanus Satlvus) 
German, “Rettig,” “Radieschen.” — French, “Radis,” “Rave,” 
“Petit Rave.”—Spanish, “Rabano” 
Loose, fertile, light loams are to be preferred for 
radishes; in distinctly clayey soils, the crop not only 
matures slowly, but the roots are usually rough, ill¬ 
shaped and of inferior quality. For a constant supply, 
sow at intervals of two or three weeks from early April 
until September. An early crop may be grown in the 
hot-bed in February. For use during the winter, the 
roots may be stored in earth in a cool cellar, but should 
be placed in cold water, for an hour or so, before they 
appear on the table. 
One ounce of seed will sow’ 100 feet of drill; 10 pounds, 
one acre.

Rhubarb 
(Rheum Rhaponticum) 
German, “Rhabarber.” — French, “Rhubarbe.” — Spanish, 
“Rhubarbo Bastardo” 
(For price of Rhubarb Roots see Vegetable Plants.) 
Seed may be sown early in spring in shallow drills one 
foot apart; when the plants are 3 or 4 inches high, thin 
to about a foot apart in the rows. In the fall, or prefer¬ 
ably the following spring, transplant into deep, rich soil, 
setting the plants about 3 by 3 feet apart. If propagated 
by dividing the roots, the work may be done either in 
spring or fall. 
One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill.

Gentlemen: — 
Just a word in appreciation of your seeds which 
are all that can he desired. Your Copenhagen Market 
cabbages were splendid, nice large heads and of the 
finest quality imaginable, extremely early too. I in¬ 
tend to grow them every year. Your grass seed has 
made a lovely sward, the celery is magnificent and I 
cannot say one word too much in appreciation of the 
results obtained from your seeds. Everyone asks me 
how’ I get such an abundance and quality too. I refer 
them to buy Joseph Breck & Sons’ seeds.
