Thank you "green", John Lilly and Brent.

Couldn't believe that DeWitt & Bosland could be wrong so went back and reread what they said in "Peppers of the World".  

Quote:  "Some plants may not fruit because of self-incompatibility in the species.  To set fruit, pollen must be transfered by bees or humans from a neighboring plant of the same variety."

It does say "some plants" and not "all plants". 

Haven't decided yet on how large a container I'll plant them in.  Will use 1 part bagged topsoil, 1 part bagged humus and 1 part ProMix.  Soil mix pH is 7.0   Plants will be overwintered near a large south window in my living room.  Or maybe they would be better off in a south window in a 60° basement?

Any growing info will be appreciated.
