PEPPER 
To indicate the relative earliness of the varieties of pepper, we have stated the number 
of days commonly required under ordinary favorable conditions near Detroit to produce a 
picking of marketable green peppers, calculating from the time well-grown young 
are set in the field late in May or early in June. It requires 6—8 weeks to produce 
plants for the field.
