Matures in 70 Days from Setting Out Transplants

Very hot, thick-walled peppers, three inches long by one to one-and-a-half inches wide. Good used fresh, cooked, pickled, and dried.

SOWING:
Plant seed indoors 6 to 8 weeks before danger of frost is past. May also be planted directly outdoors after last frost. Plant seed 1 inch apart and cover with ¼ inch of fine soil, well pressed down. Place seed starting tray in a very warm spot (both night and day) and cover with a frame of glass or polyethylene to preserve moisture until seeds start to grow.

THINNING:
When plants are 2 to 3 inches tall, thin or transplant 2 inches apart in another tray. After danger of frost has passed, transplant outdoors into rows 2 to 3 feet apart, spacing plants 18 to 24 inches apart in the row.
