PEPPERS 
Pepper Seed should be planted in the hotbed 8 to 10 weeks before time to transplant 
in the open field. Sow the seed at a depth of about one-half inch in the hotbed. 
Pepper plants require more heat than tomato or cabbage plants, and if possible should 
€ grown in separate beds. When the ground is thoroughly warm in the spring, set the 
plants in rows 2 to 3 feet apart and the plants 2 feet apart in the row. 
California Wonder 
This is an excellent pepper that is very popular because 
of its thick, strong walls which are crisp and juicy. The 
glossy deep green fruits are mostly four-lobed, 3'2 to 
4 inches in diameter and 4 to 4'2 inches long. They have 
a mild flavor. The plants are vigorous and prolific, pro- 
ducing their fruit in about 75 days.

GARDEN PEAS 
Peas are one of the most popular garden vegetables. They should be planted as 
early in the spring as it is at all possible to work the ground, using both early and late 
varieties to give a continuous supply of peas. Make the rows two feet apart and cover 
the seed with one to one and one-half inches of soil, using about a pound of seed to 
the 100 feel of row. 
Little Marvel 
This is one of the finest early varieties, maturing in 
about 63 days. The dark green vines grow about 18 
inches tall, and bear heavily. The pods are dark green, 
averaging thre- inches in length, are straight and 
square ended, containing seven or eight large peas 
of delicious flaver. A big point in its favor is that it 
remains in prime picking condition a week longer 
than other varieties.
