Burpee 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. 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. :
