Peppers are not difficult to grow. For earliest yields sow in hotbeds 
and transplant to the open ground in May. Cover seed very lightly 
and keep the soil moist. Plants should be set about 15 inches apart 
in rows 2% feet apart. If the peppers are kept picked before they 
turn red, the plants will produce great numbers during the season. 
One ounce produces about 1,000 plants.

Culture. Potatoes are planted in rows 36 to 40 inches apart, dropping 
the potatoes 12 to 16 inches apart in the rows. It takes about 1 pound 
of fertilizer to 30 or 40 feet of drill, 400 to 600 pounds per acre. It takes 
9 to 12 bushels to plant an acre according to size of potatoes and distance 
of rows apart. Plant for early crop as soon as the ground can be worked 
into condition. For late crop, in July or 1st of August is best. 
Many potato diseases, particularly the more important ones, such as 
scab, black leg, black rot, stem rot, etc., were formerly treated by the 
old-fashioned methods which required soaking of the seed for long periods 
and creating a disagreeable task. 
The introduction of Improved Semesan Bel has vastly improved 
these conditions by giving the grower a modern, instantaneous and effec¬ 
tive method of disinfection at a reasonable cost and far superior in all 
respects to even the best of those previously employed. See page 61.
