grown 1 from seed sown outdoors after the ground warms up but it is better to start plants indoors or buy them in the market The plants are very tender and should not be set outdoors until it is safe for tomatoes Space the plants 18 inches apart In the row and give them frequent cultivation They like a rich heavy soil but thrive in lighter soils if given plenty of water The pepper is one plant which likes a bath now and then it can be washed off with the hose and will thrive the better for it They grow rapidly and once they I begin to bear they continue to produce fruit until frost kills the plants in the fall A dozen plants will usually be sufficient for a family of four They have a long season during which they are in good condition the color changes from green to red and the
