I think the background on Chapman,which I think is a great variety, might well be of interest to you and others reading here.

I knew Robert Richardson very well,he was an expat from England and told me what bubble and squeak was,and lots more. His real interest was hot peppers and I got several from him,did some seed production and I think that two of them are still being offered by SESE,Southern Exposure Seed Exchange .
I just checked SESE and only one being offered but quite unique having variegated foliage, called Royal Black.

When Robert died his wife, or maybe it was his daughter, actually called me to let me know he had passed,that's how well we knew each other.
