house, or in boxes or paper pots indoors in March or April. (We have them.) When 
the plants are about 2 inches high transplant in other boxes, setting them 2 inches apart. 
Start the seed in hotbeds, green- 
; _ Then, when the weather is settled, the soil warm, and all danger of freezing over, set the 
plants out after first preparing the soil well, working in well-rotted manure or some good fertilizer. For the home-garden set 
plants a foot apart in the rows and have rows a foot apart. For large plantings make rows 2 feet apart. Do not grow sharp and sweet 
Peppers together; they will mix. One ounce will produce 1,000 plants; about 10,000 plants to an acre. Seed can be sown outdoors 
in April or May. Peppers are first green, then red, except yellow varieties. These are first green, then yellow. All can be used, 
either green or red or yellow.
