How to Grow Peppers 
Sow seed in a hotbed or indoors in shallow 
boxes, pots or seed-pans of rich Soil, allowing 
8 to 10 weeks to produce plants large enough to 
set outdoors when all danger of frost is passed. 
When the soil has become warm, set the young 
plants in the garden, 18 to 24 in. apart in rows 
2 to 3 ft. apart. A pkt. will produce about 100 
plants; 1 oz. 1500. Days mentioned in descrip- 
tions represent the average time required from 
the setting of the plants in the garden until the 
first fruits are ready for table use.

Peppers are classed in two groups, the sweet or mild and the hot. 
The sweet fleshed peppers are desirable for slicing, salad and stuffing; 
they come in different forms—some blocky (Burpee’s Fordhook), 
some heart-shaped (Burpee’s Early Pimento), and another like a 
tomato in shape with a very mild flavor (Burpee’s Sunnybrook). All 
are green at first changing to red when ripe, except Oshkosh, which 
turns to bright yellow. Hot fleshed peppers vary in shape from those 
resembling a cherry to the extremely hot little tabascos and the long 
red cayenne. They are red when ripe. Fine for sauces, flavoring and ‘ 
pickling either fresh or dried. F
