Pepper, California Wonder 
PEPPERS ... Mild and 
Hot Varieties 
For early peppers sow the seed in hot beds 
in December and January. Transplant as 
soon as weather and soil in your locality 
will permit, 18 inches apart in rows 30 
inches apart. For later crop you may also 
sow seed in February and March. Pepper 
seed germinates slowly and needs a hot 
bed to germinate in winter months.

Pumpkins—Best 
Commercial Varieties 
Pumpkins are frequently planted in con- 
nection with a crop of field corn, and if 
you grow corn you may just as well grow 
pumpkins. They will grow best in soil 

Pumpkin Dickinson 
Used for Commercial Plantings for Canneries. 
Excellent also for home use, stock, etc. 
kept moist by the dry farming method, as 
too much moisture will kill them. Plant 
the seed in open ground, after the danger 
of frost is over, in hills 8 feet apart each 
way. Drop from 8 to 10 seeds per hill and 
when the plants are about 5 inches high 
and danger of insect pests is past, thin to 
3 or 4 of the healthiest plants. If irrigation 
is needed, run the water in diches about 
18 inches from the hill. About 3 pounds of 
seed will plant one acre.
