SEED GROWERS 
PEPPER 
Cu.LturE. The pods of the pepper are used in sauces, salads, soups 
or as a seasoning and the large mild varieties called mangoes are eaten 
from the hand or variously stuffed and prepared with cabbage, tomatoes 
-or meat. The pods of green peppers are green until in ripening they 
turn red or yellow, according to the variety. Start pepper in hotbeds, 
maintaining a temperature of 70 degrees and in other ways treat like a 
tomato. Set out-of-doors after frosts in 30-inch rows, giving each plant 
18 inches in a row. One ounce of seed gives 2,000 plants and one-quarter 
pound plants an acre. Number of days given is from setting plants to 
ripe fruit.
