Culture. The pods of the pepper are 
used in sauces, salads, soups or as a sea¬ 
soning and the large mild varieties called 
mangoes are eaten from the hand or vari¬ 
ously stuffed and prepared with cabbage, 
tomatoes or meat. The pods of green 
peppers are green until in ripening they 
turn red or yellow, according to the va¬ 
riety. Start pepper in hotbeds, maintain¬ 
ing a temperature of 70 degrees and in 
other ways treat like a tomato. Set out- 
of-doors after frosts in 30-inch rows, 
giving each plant 18 inches in a row. 
One ounce of seed cives 2,000 plants 
and one-quarter pound plants an acre.
