Risser Sickle (1700s) - Known in England centuries ago and mentioned by Mawe and Abercrombie in 1779. The sickle pea was also well known since colonial times and grown by the Pennsylvania Germans for many years. This strain was grown by several generations of the Risser family in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. The name comes from the shape of the pod that curves like a blade of a sickle. The pods can be eaten as snap peas or shelled. EXTREMELY RARE. Low quantity. (20 seeds/pkt.) Not available this year.

Black Hungarian - The most dependable hot pepper that I grow. Two summers ago, we not only had a very wet summer, but a very cold summer. This was the only pepper to produce in those conditions. This pepper is not only very early and productive but is also very ornamental. The green foliage has purple veins and beautiful purple flowers. The jalapeno shaped fruit is also a deep purple, almost black, and it ripens to red. An excellent patio plant. The flavor of this pepper outstanding and I use it in salsa or spicy casseroles. This pepper is about as hot as a chili pepper, perhaps slightly milder. Great for short season areas. (70 days)
