CUETURE. —Peppers like a light, rich, warm soil for best 
results. They require about same treatment as toma¬ 
toes. Sow seed in hotbed early^ in April and transplant 
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, *4 pound to transplant 
one acre. Spray with “Ever Green” to destroy cutworms. 
FOR PEPPER PEANTS.—See Page 83.
