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 2% 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 1000 plants.

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 vardens 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-
