Varieties will mature their crops quickly and the crop has a wide range of climate. Warm Season Crops, Usually Transplanted.—Those crops which we start early indoors, or in protected places because they are easily injured by frost are (1) tomatoes, (Fig. 61) (2) egg- plant, (3) sweet and hot peppers, (Fig. 62), (4) sweet potatoes. These require transplanting. In our temperate zone the season is too short to grow them after hot weather comes unless they be started much earlier than this. 89.
