PEPPER 
To indicate the relative earliness of the varieties of pepper, we have stated the number of days 
commonly required under ordinary favorable conditions near Detroit to produce a picking of market¬ 
able green peppers, calculating from the time well-grown young plants are set in the field late in May 
or early in June. It requires 6—8 weeks to produce young plants for the field.
