Peppers 
There are varied uses for the peppers, and 
while they are more popular in the South 
among the Spanish and Mexican people, they 
are used very largely by all. who like strong, 
hot condiments. The several varieties are 
used for stuffing, when green for pickles, for 
pulverizing when dry, and for soups, etc. 
There are two distinct flavors, according to 
the variety, one hot and one sweet. 
Peppers do best in hot climates, but can be 
grown quite successfully in most places of 
any ordinary soil. The seed germinates slow¬ 
ly and should be started in boxes, and the 
young plants transplanted after all danger of 
frost is over. Set in 18 inch rows.

THE WORLD’S NEWEST 
VEGETABLE 
TOPEPO 
(Tomato-Pepper) 
A CROSS BETWEEN THE STONE 
TOMATO AND BELL PEPPER 
(Original strain of J. F. O’Keefe) 
The TOPEPO is superior to the pep¬ 
per for stuffing, baking, salads, gravies, 
etc. Fruit shaped like tomato—large 
in size, beautiful in colors—red, yel¬ 
low, green, and orange. 
Firm, thick walls, giving exceptional 
keeping qualities. 
Plant seed in hot beds, covering with 
very little soil; after sixty days and 
danger of frost is over, transplant in 
rich soil about three to four feet apart; 
the plants bear heavily and for a com¬ 
paratively long season, although rather 
slow to start. 
It is advisable to use well rotted 
manure after plants have been trans¬ 
planted and have been growing about 
thirty days; this will develop and pro¬ 
duce large Topepos.
