How to Grow Peppers 
Seed should be sown in a hot-bed or in a shallow box in a 
warm place in the house, allowing 8 to 10 weeks to produce 
plants large enough to set outdoors when all danger of frost is 
past. Peppers prefer a moderately light, well-fertilized soil. 
They should be set in rows 2 to 3 ft. apart, spaced 18 to 24 in. 
apart in the row. A pkt. of seed will produce about 100 plants; 
1 oz. 1500 plants; 4 to 6 ozs. will furnish enough plants for 
one acre. Treat seed with Cuprocide or Semesan to prevent 
damping off. Days to maturity given in descriptions are from 
the time the plants are set in the garden.
