PEPPERS 
( Italian — Peperoni) 
Seeds should be sown in heat between March 1 5 
and April 5. The seedlings should be transplanted 
into flats of light rich soil, gradually hardened off 
and planted outdoors about June 1. Avoid too rich a

the flowers will drop instead of setting fruits. Set the 
plants 15 inches apart in rows, allowing about 30 
inches between rows. Cultivate frequently and give 
an application of some high-grade commercial fer¬ 
tilizer after the fruit has set. One ounce of seed

The soil should be thoroughly prepared by deep 
plowing or digging and the seed should be sown very

make their full growth. Sow the seed in drills and 
cover about 1 inch. Allow about 18 inches between 
rows. Thin out the plants to stand 6 inches apart 
and cultivate frequently throughout the season. 
Freezing improves the quality and since Parsnips are

Winter. One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 
5 pounds to the acre.
