The Bull Nose Large Bell Pepper is an early sweet bell pepper heirloom, popular in the 1800s. Fearing Burr' Field and Garden Vegetables of America describes them as the "best and most wholesome of all pickled peppers,"not only because of their mildness, but also for their thick, fleshy, and tender rind. The pepper matures from green to scarlet, getting sweeter over time. It matures 55-80 days from transplant. These crunchy peppers are fun to eat raw and the walls are thick enough to hold a hearty dip. And, of course, they're delicious pickled.
