The listing, Sweet Pepper Madness! 4 RARE varieties has ended.

Tired of the same-old-same-old bell peppers? Here's your chance to try some interesting - and rare - heirloom sweet peppers. I bought these seeds from Sandhill Preservation Center (great folks, doing great work to preserve the genetic heritage of our food crops) - and they sent me a LOT of seeds - so here I am: passing the bounty on to you!
What you'll get is 10 each of the following 4 varieties:

* Odessa Market Sweet Pepper (87 days) This pepper comes from the Black Sea city of Odessa in Ukraine. A great tasting, top-shaped pepper that starts out bright lime green, turning orange and then red. Short plants produce fruit all summer, and this variety is dependable even in the north. A good variety for growing in pots. (this one is shown in pic #1 & 2)

* Georgescu Chocolate: 80 days. (Sweet Bell) A fine pepper of Romanian origin. Green fruits mature dark salmon-pink to a rich chocolate-brown in a fairly short season. Compact plants produce an elongated bell-type fruit to 5 inches long, blunt on the blossom end and not quite a bull's-horn shape. Very productive. (pic #3)

* Gozogled: 80 days. (Sweet Paprika) Small to medium size pointy pepper. Ripens to a nice red, heavy yields. An heirloom from Bulgaria. A very good, mild paprika type, shorter and fatter than Hungarian Paprika, excellent for drying for paprika.

* Sirenevyi: 75 days. (Sweet Non-Bell) A superb sweet, non-bell pepper that is very early and high yielding. Starts out a bright purple and eventually turns a deep purple/red. Very thick walled and very mild and sweet. (very rare - no one has a pic of this one!)

That's a total of 40 seeds - plenty peppers! And the seed is all organically grown!

Sorry I don't have more pictures - but these are pretty RARE and nobody seems to have photographed them...I'm looking forward to seeing how they grow - and taste!

I don't know if Listia will let me add a GIN to this auction now that i have bids (never tried that before) but I can put up another one with a GIN if you'd like to bid on that
