PEPPER 
Peppers require a moderately rich and light . 
soil, a long growing season, and plenty of 
warmth at all stages. Grow them like egg- 
plants, starting the seed indoors or in the hot- 
bed in March, transplanting to pots or dirt- 
bands when the second or third leaf has de- 
veloped. Set the plants in the garden early in 
June in rows 2/4 to 3 feet apart and spaced 
2 feet apart in the row. Days to maturity are 
figured from the time the plants are set in the 
garden. 
An ounce of seed will produce about 1500 
plants.

PUMPKIN 
The seed should be sown as soon as the 
ground gets warm, in hills 6 to 8 feet apart, 
dropping from four to eight seeds in each 
hill, and thin out to 3 or 4 plants to each hill. 
Since Pumpkins require a lot of space they 
are generally grown with corn. Sow after 
the corn is up. 
One ounce of seed will plant about 25 
hills; 4 to 5 pounds will plant an acre.

Planting Tip: 
The best way to sow small seeds is to take a 
few in the hand, and let them fall through the 
fingers, into the soil which has been prepared. 
Get close to the ground. With a little practice, 
you can quickly acquire control so that the 
seeds will be evenly distributed. It helps to mix 
the very small seeds with dry sand before you 
sow, using two or three times as much sand 
as seed.
