PEPPER 
Peppers require a moderately rich and light soil, a long growing 
season, and plenty of warmth at all stages. Grow them like egg- 
plants, starting the seed indoors or in the hotbed in March, trans- 
planting to pots or dirt-bands when the second or third leaf has 
developed, and resetting in the garden about June 1. Space the 
plants 2 to 21% feet apart. 
An ounce of seed will produce about 1,500 plants
