Culture. The pods of the Pepper are used in sauces, salads, soups 
or as a seasoning and the large mild varieties called mangoes are 
eaten from the hand or variously stuffed and prepared with cabbages, 
tomatoes or meat. The pods of green peppers are green until in 
ripening they turn red or yellow, according to the variety. Start 
pepper in hotbeds, maintaining 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 gives 2,000 plants and one-quarter pound plants an acre. 
Number of days given are from setting plants to ripe fruit.
