Sweet Mountain Pepper.
This variety resembles the Large Bell, if it is not identical. The Sweet Mountain may be somewhat larger; but, aside from this, there is no perceptible difference in the varieties.
Sweet Spanish.
Piment monstreux. Vil.
Fruit obtusely conical, often four inches in length, and nearly three inches in diameter,—brilliant glossy scarlet at maturity; stem strong and sturdy, two feet or more in height; leaves large, but narrower than those of the Large Bell; flowers white, and of large size,—usually an inch and a half in diameter; fruit sometimes erect, but generally drooping.
Though one of the largest varieties, the Sweet Spanish is also one of the earliest. The flesh is sweet, mild, and pleasant; and the variety is much esteemed by those to whom the more pungent kinds are objectionable. When prepared in the same form, it makes a pickle equally as fine as the Large Bell.
The Sweet Spanish Pepper succeeds well if sown in the open ground in May. Make the rows sixteen inches apart, and thin the plants to a foot apart in the rows.
Yellow Squash-Pepper. Vil.
Yellow Tomato-formed.
Fruit similar in form to the Squash-pepper, but of smaller size, erect or pendulous; orange-yellow at maturity.
