My grandfather Joseph Hussli, came to America in 1912.  He brought with him, his pepper seeds, which he apparently raised in Apatin.  He died before I was born, but, my father continued raising the peppers, until his death. Since that time, I have continued, along with other members of our family, in growing these wonderful peppers.  I’ve raised these peppers for over 35 years, I raised 500 plants last year….Publisher note: Larry generously provided seeds to any DVHH-L subscriber, which turned out to be many!  We thank you Larry for your thoughtfulness and sharing your seeds from the homeland.
