profitable crop, but will enrich the soil at the 
same time. They are valuable as a food for 
cattle and also make ensilage of good quality. 
When sown alone, about 3 bushels of seed are 
required to the acre. Usually sown broadcast 
and harrowed in. Seed smooth, small, white 
or brown. 
PEPPER 
CULTURE —Sow seed early in hot-bed, or 
about middle of spring, in open seed bed, the 
soil being light and warm. When 3 inches 
high transplant in rows about 2 V 2 feet apart 
and 2 feet apart in the rows. Cultivate and 
keep free from weeds. One ounce will pro¬ 
duce 1,500 plants. 
LARGE BELL or BULL NOSE —Sometimes 
called Sweet Mountain. The plants are vigor¬ 
ous, about 2 feet high, compact and very pro¬ 
ductive, ripening their crop uniformly and 
early. The fruits are large, with thick, mild 
flesh of excellent quality. The color is deep 
green when fruit is young, bright crimson 
when ripe. 
RUBY KING —The peppers are of a bright 
ruby red color, from 41^ to 6 inches long, by 
SV 2 to 4 inches in diameter. Flavor mild, and 
can be sliced and eaten with salt and vinegar 
like tomatoes. 
CHINESE GIANT, 80 Days —Not only most 
productive, but matures very early. Before 
the fruits ripen they are rich dark green, turn¬ 
ing to a brilliant scarlet-red when they reach 
maturity. The fruits are 4 to 5 inches broad 
and fully as long. The flesh is the thickest 
ever found in any of the large size peppers, 
being strictly mild and sweet. 
LONG RED CAYENNE — The conical 
shaped fruits are 3 to 4 inches long, of bright 
red color, and borne in great profusion. The 
flesh in character is very hot. A favorite for 
bunching with pot herbs or for winter use. 
Matures in 70 days. 
ANAHEIM CHILI —Fruits are 6 to 8 inches 
long and about 1 inch through, tapered and 
become dark green before turning to a ripe 
scarlet. While this is a hot variety, they are 
mildly pungent. 
RED CHILI —Pods are small and hot. Plants 
grow 18 inches high, fruit usually erect, about 
2 inches long, cone shaped, bright red and very 
hot; exceedingly prolific. Matures in about 
90 days. Used for pepper sauce or pickling or 
dried for winter use. 
PIMIENTO (Sunnybrook) — Fruits are 
heart-shaped, 3 inches long, deep green be¬ 
coming red. Sweet and of fine flavor. 
PUMPKIN 
CULTURE —Sow in the month of May, 
when you plant your corn. Make hills, same 
as you do for squashes, but about 8 to 10 feet 
apart each way. It is preferable to grow 
Pumpkins in the field, and not in the garden, 
as they always mix with the squashes and 
other vines. You can sow some among your 
late corn, putting in a few seeds, say every 
third or fourth hill. This will give you plenty 
for the table, and your stock the coming win¬ 
ter. One ounce of seed will plant 15 hills; 3 to 
4 pounds will plant an acre. 
CONNECTICUT FIELD— Also known as 
Big Tom. A large, round or slightly oval shape 
pumpkin. Skin reddish orange color, with rich

about twenty pounds.
