PEPPERS 
Pepper seed should be sown in a hotbed or in a shallow box in a 
warm place in the house, allowing 8 to 10 weeks to produce plants 
large enough to set outdoors when all danger of frost is past. 
Peppers prefer a moderately light, well-fertilized soil. They 
should be set in rows 2 to 3 ft. apart, spaced 18 to 24 in. apart in 
the row. One pkt. of seed will produce about 100 plants; 1 oz., 
1500 plants; 4 to 6 ozs. will produce enough plants for one acre. 
Days to maturity are from field setting of plants. Treat seed with 
Cuprocide or Semesan to prevent damping off. 
816 California Wonder O 
Improved Market Gardeners* Strain 
75 days. A special strain which we have produced at 
Fordhook Farms. Number one quality pepper for the 
country south of the Pennsylvania-New York line. Cali¬ 
fornia Wonder is all that you could ask for in a stuffing 
pepper—good size, blocky form, remarkably thick walls, 
sweetness, tenderness, and good flavor. Because of the 
thickness of its flesh, it will stand packing, shipping and 
. handling without bruising or breaking. Peppers are about 
4 in. long and 3 to in. in diameter, 3 and 4 lobed, very 
smooth, glossy green, turning to bright crimson when ripe, 
tor regions having short seasons, we recommend Windsor A.
