PEPPERS

 
     
 

Purple Beauty - Produces a good yield of blocky 3x3" fruits which turn from green to purple to deep red as they mature. Purple fruits taste like other crisp green bells and turn green when cooked.  

Aconcagua - After five years Aconcagua is finally BACK! Originally from near Mt. Aconcagua in Argentina, at 22,831' the highest peak in the Andes, and well adapted to our northern clime. Cranks out a steady supply of long tapered 7x21/4" light green fruit on 21/2' plants. As the peppers turn from yellow to red, the medium-thick flesh sweetens. Crisp, juicy and mild for eating out of hand, frying or roasting.   

King of the North -This green pepper is great for short seasoned areas!  The dark green fruit is blocky shaped and thick walled, having 3 lobes.   A good choice for stuffing or eating!  

California Wonder – A select strain of this popular bell pepper!  This large, thick walled, juicy, sweet pepper is the most popular variety grown in the United States today!  A delicious, 4 inch pepper that starts out green when young, turning a bright red at maturity.  Delicious!  

Orange Sun -The crunchy, sweet taste of this large, blocky, bell variety makes it a great choice for eating raw or using in stir-fry.  The thick-fleshed fruits start out dark green, maturing to a beautiful glossy, orange color.

Keystone Giant - These vigorous 30 inch plants grow plenty of big, blocky 5 inch fruits.  A variety known for its thick, dark green flesh, as well as its heavy yields!   Tasty!

California Wonder Gold - Similar to California Wonder pepper, except the fruits ripen to a bright yellow-gold color.  The beautifully colored 4 inch fruits weigh 6 ounces each, and grow on plants that are 24 to 30 inches tall.  Wonderful in salads or in stir-fry!

California Wonder Purple - Similar to California Wonder pepper, except the fruits mature to an unusual dark purple color. The plants grow 24 to 30 inches tall, and bear fruits that are thick walled and weigh about 6 ounces each.  For something a little different, grow some this year!  A real eye catcher in salads!

Sweet Banana - These banana shaped fruits are wonderful  either in salads or frying! The 6 inch peppers are sweet and mild, growing on plants that average 20 inches high.  Pick early when yellow or let mature to a deep red color. 

Hungarian Sweet Wax – This very prolific 18-24 inch plant produces sweet, mild, pendant-shaped fruits that taper to a blunt end.  The 6x2 inch peppers begin a green color, turning yellow to orange, and mature to a crimson red hue.  A Hungarian heirloom that dates from 1941.
