SWEET SPANISH (Riverside Strain) 
ONIONS 
One ounce of seed will sow 100 feet of drill; 
5 pounds an acre. 
It is probable that no other garden vege- 
table is used in so many ways as the onion. 
Raw or cooked, alone or in combination with 
other vegetable, it is equally desirable. As 
an appetizer it has no superior and many of 
the housewife’s’ cherished recipes would be 
incomplete without it. 
A row or two of onions in the home gar- 
den will furnish a supply which will continue 
from midsummer to the following spring. 
Onions are very hardy and the seed will ger- 
minate in cool weather. It can be planted 
safely Just as soon as the soil can be pre- 
pared. Shallow planting is advisable, % to 
¥% inch being about right. When 2 or 3 inches 
tall the young plants can be thinned enough 
to prevent crowding. They may be thinned 
when 6 or 8 inches in height and the plants 
which are removed will be ready for use as 
green onions. From then on they can be 
used as needed and when fully ripened the 
unused bulbs can be stored for winter.

PEPPERS 
The garden varieties of pepper are divided 
into two classes, each of which has its special 
culinary uses. They generally are classified 
as “hot” and “sweet’’ peppers. The hot va- 
rieties are nearly all much smaller than the 
sweet ones and the smallest fruited varieties 
are usually the hottest. They are mostly 
used as condiments in various forms. The 
sweet peppers have thicker flesh, are larger 
and do not possess the pungent quality of the 
hot ones. They are becoming more popular 
for garnishing and in relishes, etc. 
The culture is practically the same as that 
for egg plant and the soil and temperature 
requirements are about the same. A moderate 
dressing of guano, poultry manure or com- 
plete commercial fertilizer, hoed into the soil 
after the plants are 6 to 8 inches tall will be 
very beneficial. If fruits are kept picked, 
pepper plants will continue to bear all along 
as the weather is favorable. 
NEW 
ABEL’S TAXPAYER PEPPER. Very 
large in size, very good yielder, thick- 
ness of flesh. Tried at Abel’s Acres 
for the past several years and found 
it the finest pepper on the market 
today. It is a handsome pepper, at- 
tractive in size and bright crimson in 
color. It is very prolific, yielding 
many peppers on every plant, and 
they average 6 to 7 in. long and 3 to 
4 in. wide. First green, then intensely 
rich crimson, mild flavored, thick flesh. 
Matures in about 65 days. Don’t fail 
to try it this season.

SWEET 
CALIFORNIA WONDER. This is unquestion- 
ably the leader of the sweet peppers. - Vig- 
orous ‘growing plants bear a heavy’ yield 
of handsome blocky fruits which reach a 
size of 5 inches in length and 4 inches 
across. The thickness of flesh alone, which 
is often 3% of an inch, places it above all 
other peppers. There is not the least trace 
of pungency in the flesh, and it is crisp and 
juicy. In the home garden these are always 
an object of admiration, and they are 
equally pleasing when served on the table,
