How to Grow Peppers 
Seed should be sown in a hotbed 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. Days to maturity given in descrip- 
tions are from the time the plants are set in the garden until 
first usable or marketable fruits are ready.
