PEPPER 
Peppers are usually started indoors or in a protected seed bed. Transplant when 4” 
high to rows 2 ft. apart with 2-21 ft. between plants. Cultivate regularly to keep 
down weeds, drawing the soil up around the stems, and hoe in a light dressing of 
pulverized manure or fertilizer when the plants are 7-8" high.

RADISH 
For well-shaped radishes the ground should be thoroughly pulverized and enriched 
with some well-rotted manure and fertilizer. Fresh manure must not be used. First 
sowimgs are made very early, as the radish is hardy, and successive sowings up to hot 
weather. To avoid pithiness the crop should be grown quickly and pulled promptly 
when mature. One of the easiest vegetables to grow.

deep red, long, cylindrical with tapering end.
