e 3 Best Peppers for the Home Garden 

These are divided into two groups, the sweet or mild and the hot. 
The sweet fleshed peppers. are desirable for slicing, salad and 
stuffing; they are of different forms, —some blocky (Burpee’s Ford- 
hook), some heart-shaped (Burpee’s Early Pimento), and another 
like a tomato in shape with a very mild flavor (Burpee’s Sunny- 
brook). All are green at first changing to red when ripe except 
Oshkosh which turns to bright-yellow. 
Hot fleshed peppers vary considerably in shape from those 
resembling a cherry to the extremely hot little tabascos and the 
long red cayenne, They are red when ripe. Fine for sauces, flavor- 
ing and pickling both in the fresh state and when dried.

How to Grow PEPPERS 
Sow seed in a hotbed or indoors in shallow boxes, pots or 
pans of rich soil, allowing 8 to 10 weeks to produce plants 
large enough to set outdoors when all danger of frost is past. 
When the soil has become warm, set the young plants in the 
garden, 18 to 24 in. apart in rows 2 to 3 ft. apart. Peppers do 
best in a light, sandy, moderately rich soil. A pkt. of seed 
will produce about 100 plants; 1 oz. 1500 plants. Days to 
maturity given in descriptions are from the time the plants 
are set in the garden until first usable or marketable fruits 
are ready.
