and vice versa.

up in hills 4 to 6 feet apart in each direction.

RADISH 
Sow the seed very early in the spring, in well 
prepared soil of good fertility. The rows should 
be about 1 foot apart, the seed covered with Y 
inch of soil. Thin the plants to 2 inches apart 
in the row, as soon as they are well up. Main- 
taining rapid growth makes radishes crisp and 
tender. 
Successive sowings can be made at two week in- 
tervals. 
The Winter varteties should be sown in late sum- 
mer or early fall as they make their best growth 
at that time.

PEPPER, KEYSTONE RESISTANT GIANT 
21 
Peppers 
Plant the seed early indoors, or in hot beds, and when the 
plants are about 4 inches tall transplant to the field in rows 
22 feet apart. Set the plants 2 feet apart in the row. 
Peppers respond well to high fertility and to a side-dressing 
when the plants are about 6 to 8 inches tall. Extremely hot 
weather will cause poor fruit set, but the plants will resume 
setting fruit when more moderate weather returns. 
Incidentally, you will find that the sweet types of pepper 
have their best flavor, both for salads and for stuffing, when 
a little red begins to show on the pods.
