PEPPERS 
I oz. 
CULTURE: Peppers require good soil, but the lighter 
type of soil seems to produce the best crops. Seed 
should be started in hotbeds or cold frames and trans- 
planted to the open as early in May as possible but 
only after danger of frost is over. Plants should be 
set out in rows 2 to 21% feet apart and,_20 inches 
apart in the rows. Some rich fertilizer or commercial 
fertilizer worked into the soil when the plants are 
about 9 inches high will be found very beneficial.
