Vegetable -

4,500 S. Heirloom. 70 days. This sweet Italian variety is named after the neighborhoods in Melrose Park, Illinois that nurtured it for years. The 4 in. fruits turn brilliant red and start producing very early with flavor that is rich, flavorful and very sweet. They have thin walls, but their skin tends to be a little more leathery which helps them hold their shape as a stuffing pepper even with the thin skin. Great fried or fresh.
