Hou to Grou Penpers 
Seed should be sown in a hot-bed or in a shallow box ina 
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 24in. 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 descrip- 
tions are from the time the plants are set in the garden.
