THE NEWS 



most of the northeast are consid- 

 ered to be entirely infested. 



Plants, crowns, roots, bulbs, etc., 

 that meet certain requirements 

 (free from soil; produced in a 

 tightly-constructed greenhouse and 

 protected from infestation while 

 being stored, packed, or shipped, 

 treated for Japanese beetle in ac- 

 cordance with methods approved 

 by the Utah Dept. of Agriculture) 

 can be shipped. 



Nurseries should verify all re- 

 quirements before shipping to any 

 states with Japanese beetle quar- 

 antines. For information, contact 

 Craig Regelbrugge at AAN (202-789- 

 2900) or your state nursery inspec- 

 tor (in New Hampshire, at 603-271-

A UNIQUE PEPPER 



After ten years, plant pathologist 

 Philip Dukes and plant geneticist 

 Richard Fery of the USDA's Agricul- 

 tural Research Service in Charles- 

 ton, SC, have developed a cayenne 

 pepper that changes color as it de- 

 velops. 'Charleston Hot/developed 

 from 'Carolina Cayenne,' is com- 

 pact, high-yielding, and resistant to 

 nematodes. 



'Charleston Hot' reaches 18 inch- 

 es height at maturity. (Typically, 

 cayenne pepper plants can grow 

 up to three feet tall with a compa- 

 rable spread.) As the peppers 

 ripen, they change from yellow- 

 green to golden yellow, bright or- 



ange and deep red. The fruit is 

 four inches long and quite pun- 

 gent, registering about 70,000 to 

 100,000 Scoville heat units. 



'Charleston Hot' is not commer- 

 cially available, but breeders can 

 obtain limited amounts of seed 

 from the researchers. For more:

THREE DAFFODILS

 able from Dutch breeders: yellow-
