20 McCULLOUGH’S SEEDS 
PEPPERS PUMPKIN 
A few hills of Pumpkins should be in every 
garden. The quality of home-grown Pump- 
kims 1s far superior to the canned product. 
Sweet or Mild 
Culture. 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, the plants will 
produce great numbers during the season. 
Culture. Generally planted in corn after the 
last working and gathered after corn has been 
shocked. For field crop, plant in May or June in 
hills 8 feet apart, about 5 to 10 seeds to the hill, and 
cultivate until the vines get strong; then thin out, 
lowing two or three of the strongest plants in each 
ull. 
A packet plants 5 hills, an ounce 20 hills, 
4 pounds an acre.
