urpee’s PEPPERS 
Peppers are classed in two groups, the sweet or mild and the hot. The 
sweet fleshed peppers are desirable for slicing, salad and stuffing; they come 
in different forms,—some blocky (Burpee’s Fordhook), some heart-shaped 
(Burpee’s Early Pimento), and another like a tomato in shape with a very 
mild flavor (Burpee’s Sunnybrook). All are green at first changing to red 
when ripe, except Oshkosh, which turns to bright yellow. Pepper plants will 
produce more fruits if they are kept picked when green in color. 
Hot fleshed peppers vary in shape from those resembling a cherry to the 
extremely hot little tabascos and the long red cayenne. They are red when 
ripe. Fine for sauces, flavoring and pickling either fresh or dried.
