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, aie plants will produce great numbers during the season. 
One ounce produces about 1000 plants. 
263 King of the North l oe 
(64 days.) Makes a tremendous 
yield of large, sweet Peppers. The 
plants are medium size, covered : 
with large fruit similar in shan

ering; flesh is thick, mild and 
sweet; dark green turning to rich 
deep red when ripe. If you have 
not grown King of the North Pep- 
per be sure to plant it this season.
