“King of the North” Pepper 
Enormous Fruit, Abundant Yield 
and Extra Early 
This is the earliest of the mammoth-size Peppers. The 
fruits, which, when ripe, are of a brilliant red color,

plants are of a branching growth and literally covered 
with the large fruits, which are borne from the bottom 
right up to the top of the plant. We consider King of the
