How to Grow Peppers 
Sow seed in a hotbed or indoors in shallow 
boxes, pots or seed-pans of rich soil; cover seed 
with 4 in. of fine soil. Allow 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 50 plants; 1 oz. 1500. 
Days mentioned in descriptions represent the 
average time required from the setting of the 
plants in the garden until the first fruits are 
ready for table use.
