Fertilize with 700-800 pounds of 8-8-8 per acre (3 qts. per 100 ft. of row I. Set in rows 3^2 feet apart and space plants 18 inches apart. Sidedress 3-4 weeks after field setting with 10-15 pounds of nitrogen per acre (V2 cup of Nitrate of Soda, or its equivalent, per 100 feet of row) and at best twice thereafter at about two week intervals. Six ounces of seed will produce plants for one acre; 1 ounce will produce about 1,500 plants. 591 Yolo Wonder Mosaic Resistant Pepper similar to California Won- der, with thicker flesh.
