PEPPERS 
HOW TO GROW PEPPERS. 
Start the seed in hotbeds, 
greenhouse, or in boxes indoors 
in March or April. When the plants are about 2 inches high, trans¬ 
plant in other boxes, setting them 2 inches apart. Then, when the 
weather is settled, the soil warm, and all danger of freezing over, 
set the plants out, after first preparing the soil well, working in well- 
rotted manure or some good fertilizer. For the home-garden set 
plants a foot apart in the rows and have rows a foot apart. For large 
plantings make rows 2 feet apart. Do not grow sharp and 
sweet Peppers together; they will mix. One ounce will produce 
1,000 plants; about 10,000 plants to an acre.

FLORENCE FENNEL 
or FINOCCHIO 
Used extensively as a salad but it is 
particularly delicious when served 
boiled with a cream dressing. The bases 
of the leaf-stalks are much thickened, 
bulb-like, and after boiling are of a 
mild, aromatic, sweet flavor, somewhat 
like celery yet sweet and with a delicate 
odor. When the enlargement of the 
leaf-stalk at the base of the stem is 
about half as large as an egg, then earth 
it up until about half is covered. In 
about ten days, you may begin to cut 
and continue as the plants increase in 
growth. Pkt. 10 cts.; oz. 30 cts.; 
Mlb. 75 cts.; lb. $2. 
First on the Market 
Outyields All Others 
It is the favorite early Pepper of gardeners everywhere. 
We have never seen any other Pepper that can compare 
with it in the least degree in the remarkable way it 
yields. It is very early and all the Peppers on the plant color up evenly; then 
the plants continue to yield until stopped by frost or the grower. A beautiful, 
attractive shape, which makes it sell on sight, while its superior quality, sweet as an 
apple, backs up its attractive appearance. It is the most prolific Pepper ever grown 
in this locality. Color green turning to a beautiful scarlet when ripe, it has all the 
qualities required for the most profitable crop, namely, size, yield, quality, 
quick to color. No other variety can claim all these qualities. Picking the Peppers 
as early and as often as possible will induce a heavier yield. Pkt. 10 cts.; 3 pkts.

HERBS 
Everybody should have their own “Medicine Garden” 
—a plot of ground somewhere within their vegetable or 
flower-garden devoted to the growing of the various 
Herbs so often needed in the home for medicinal purposes. 
HOW TO GROW THEM. Sow the seed in the spring after the soil has 
become warm—usually about May 1. Sow in rows 12 inches apart, cultivating 
the plants often; transplant to stand about 12 inches apart in the rows.
