PEPPERS 
Peppers are one of the most colorful gar- 
den crops. In younger stages all varieties 
are green, later turning brilliant red. With 
a myriad of uses, both raw and cooked, 
every garden should have space for a few 
plants of a favorite variety. 
Seed should be started indoors or in a hotbed so 
that the plants are well started for setting outside 
when the ground is warm after danger of frost. 
A quarter ounce of seed is sufficient for a 50-foot 
row.

POTATOES 
Soil should be well-drained, fibrous loam. On clay 
soils, particularly in certain districts of New Jersey, 
potato growing is not advisable. A generous 
amount of Sawco General Fertilizer should be 
applied along either side of the rows before seed 
potatoes are planted. Potatoes purchased for 
planting should be cut in pieces, allowing at least 
one good eye to each piece. These pieces should be 
soaked m a solution of Semesan Bel, as directed, 
to prevent development of disease. The treated 
pieces are then planted in rows 24 feet apart. 
Proper planting time is from April 10 to May 31 
in the New York area. 
Recommended sprays for blight, scab and potato 
beetle will be found among the insecticides on 
pages 98 and 99. :
