Peppers should be sown either indoors or in hotbeds early in April
and transplanted to the permanent beds when about 3 inches high in
two foot drills and two feet apart in the drills. The seed can also be
sown in open ground when danger from frost is past but the crop will
naturally be much later. A top dressing of fertilizer or poultry manure
well mixed with the soil when the plants are about 6 inches high will
materially aid in the production of a big crop.
RoUal Kino P'^^*-^ grow about 2% feet high, and are vigorous;
"4/** y compact and very productive, commencing to bear
very early and continuing until killed by frost. The fruit is very large,
bright and glossy and the extremely thick flesh is sweet and mild. They
will stand distant shipping and hold up well for market as they do not
wilt nor become ripe near so quickly as other large varieties. This
strain is extensively grown in the South by large shippers and deserves
the attention of every trucker and home gardener.
