  "A 
  medium-sized, 
  somewhat 
  elongated, 
  nonpungent, 
  sweet 
  

   form 
  of 
  red 
  pepper, 
  having 
  a 
  highly 
  developed 
  red 
  color 
  and 
  characteristic 
  

   aroma. 
  It 
  is 
  grown 
  especially 
  in 
  Spain 
  and 
  is 
  ground 
  to 
  form 
  a 
  sort 
  of 
  paprika

  by 
  high 
  color, 
  sweet 
  taste,

   this 
  pepper 
  will 
  do 
  well 
  in 
  this

  that 
  its

  become 
  

   a 
  small

  "This

  to 
  the

  of 
  medium-sized,

  commercial 
  article 
  known 
  to 
  the 
  spice 
  trade 
  as 
  Hungarian 
  

   or 
  Szegedin 
  paprika. 
  It 
  is 
  prepared 
  for 
  the 
  market 
  in 
  different 
  ways

  with 
  

   different

  "This 
  crop 
  is 
  grown 
  commercially 
  in 
  the 
  neighborhood 
  of 
  Szegedin 
  and 
  

   Kalocsa, 
  in 
  Hungary. 
  It 
  is 
  ground 
  in 
  Hungary 
  or 
  in 
  Austria 
  and 
  enters 
  foreign 
  

   commerce 
  chiefly 
  as 
  a 
  powder. 
  

  

  "It 
  has 
  been 
  introduced 
  into 
  South 
  Carolina, 
  where, 
  under 
  the 
  guidance 
  of 
  

   the 
  Bureau 
  of 
  Plant 
  Industry, 
  U. 
  S. 
  Dept. 
  of 
  Agriculture, 
  a 
  small 
  industry 
  has 
  

   been 
  established. 
  The 
  yield 
  for 
  1909 
  was 
  about 
  45,000 
  pounds 
  of 
  dried 
  pods. 
  

   Owing 
  to 
  the 
  limited 
  demand 
  for 
  the 
  product, 
  this 
  industry 
  is 
  likely 
  to 
  remain 
  

   a 
  small 
  one, 
  limited 
  to 
  the 
  localities 
  most 
  favored 
  in 
  the

  of 
  soil, 
  climatic
