Margaret Tuttle McGrath’s cultivar list for the two diseases that decide a bell pepper crop in the Northeast. Unusually for a variety list it names the bacterial leaf spot RACES each cultivar resists rather than printing a bare resistance code, which is the difference between "resistant to bacterial spot" and a statement a grower can check against the races in their own field. It also records where a well-known cultivar is not resistant, which most lists omit.
