PEPPER 
CULTURE: Start seeds in hotbeds in the Spring and 
transplant after weather has warmed up. Plants 
take about 8 weeks to reach transplanting size. Set 
plants out in 24 to 30 inch rows, and 18 inches apart 
in the row. Peppers require warmer soil than cab- 
bage and temato plants. Good rich soil is necessary 
for best production. Days to maturity below are 
figured from date of transplanting.
