Overview
Parks Early Thickset Hybrid Improved (Park's) is a Park Seed bell from 1999 whose selling point is speed: about 45 days from transplant, two to three weeks ahead of most large bells. The fruit are 5 by 4 inches (110 x 90 mm) with three or four lobes and walls half an inch thick, glossy green ripening to bright scarlet. Foliage covers the fruit well against sunscald, and the plant resists tobacco mosaic virus. Use it for salads, stuffing, frying or freezing; the early maturity makes it a strong choice for short seasons.
