PLEASE NOTE: The sowing dates as given are for the latitude and vicinity of New York City. If you are located farther north 
it would be well to sow a little earlier. If you are located to the south with more sunshine and a later fall it is suggested 
that you sow a little later. Sowing dates must vary depending on your particular location. 
PEPPERS and SOLANUMS are heavy feeders therefore do not allow the plants to become starved but keep them growing at 
all stages. They must be fed regularly, even when in fruit to maintain good color of foliage and berries.
