PEPPERS 
Culture—Peppers should be started in a hotbed or cold frame and transplanted about the 
end of May into a sunny corner of the garden, in rows about 2 feet apart, with the plants 
ateut 20 inches between them in the rows. In warmer sections they can also be sown in open 
ground in a prepared seedbed when all danger from frost has passed. When the little plants 
are about 3 inches in height, transplant as above into the rows where they are to remain. 
Some very rich fertilizer stirred into the soil when the plants are about 6 inches high, will be 
found very beneficial to the crop. 
All the following prices are postpaid.

Certified IRISH POTATOES 
We ship only Certified Seed Potatoes which is the only kind it 
pays to plant. They come up better and will make a larger yield. 
Culture^— Potatoes can be grown in any soil provided it is 
fairly rich, but Potatoes usually do best on loose, sandy loam and 
are of better quality than if planted on heavy clay soil. Cut the 
Potatoes in 4 or 6 pieces, so there is at least one eye on each 
piece. About 3 pieces should be planted in each hill, 3 to 4 inches 
deep, according to the time of planting, in rows 3 feet apart and 
16 to 18 inches apart in the rows. Potatoes require 90 days to 
be ready to harvest. 
Use 8-8-6 Commercial Fertilizer in drills before planting, cover 
it with soil and then plant as instructed above. Don’t use barn¬ 
yard manure. 
CERTIFIED RED TRIUMPH. A popular early variety. 
Tubers are nearly round, with red, smooth skin, small, shal¬ 
low eyes, very uniform in size and shape. One of the prettiest 
Potatoes grown. 
CERTIFIED IRISH COBBBER. An early variety. The eyes 
are strong,^ well developed, and slightly indented. The flesh is 
creamy white and of fine quality and flavor. 
On account of market fluctuations, we are unable to name 
prices on Irish Potatoes. Will be pleased to have you write 
during the month of February or later. Will then quote prices 
for prompt or future shipments.
