PEPPERS 
Peppers are not difficult to grow. For earliest yields sow in hotbeds 
‘and transplant to the open ground in May. Cover seed very lightly 
and keep the soil moist. Plants should be set about 15 inches apart 
in rows 24% feet apart. If the Peppers are kept picked before they 
turn red, the plants will produce great numbers during the season. 
One ounce produces about 1,000 plants.

A. S. T. A. GARDEN SEED ASSORTMENT FOR EUROPE 
A national program has been organized to enable residents of this 
country to send garden seed to friends abroad, where not only food 
for this winter, but seeds for next spring’s vegetable gardens are 
reported to be scarce because of crop failures. 
Many families in Europe and Great Britain have been relying 
upon vegetables from their own gardens to supplement the scanty 
official rations. Vacant land is available and the people generally 
are skilled gardeners. 
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson, who recently called for twenty 
million Freedom Gardens to be made here next spring, has recom- 
FOR ONLY $3.95,"

mended for export an assortment of seeds sufficient to produce 5 tons 
of vegetables, which will supply an average family with a full year’s 
need in garden vegetables. Experts in the U. S. Department of 
Agriculture have fixed standards of quality and germination which 
the seeds should meet. 
While the program is designed to facilitate gifts by individuals 
to their friends or relatives abroad, arrangements have been made 
whereby Church World Service, Ine., a non-profit organization, or 
any recognized charitable organization of the donor’s own choice, 
will deliver these packages to needy families abroad where the donor 
does not wish to name any particular recipient.
