Hello All: Below are translations for some varieties I purchased from a gentleman in Hungary. The Hungarian is what I took off the seed packets for him to translate and the English is, well, his English. The seeds were in packets like our Burpee, H&G, etc. The photos on the packet have been very helpful, but I still pretty much grow them by number. Paul, a couple of them on your list are included. Beth in Texas Here goes: Number 1 and 2 was already translated. In our language pepper means those small dried things, black,red or white. We use the paprika word only for these "peppers".
