Interesting! I wonder if the Peruvian had something to do with the "Peruvian Death 
Pepper" of Garfield fame? I don't have a data base, but year after year my best 
selling collection in the US is the Hot Hot Hot collection while the Ornamental 
collection is the best seller internationally. My best selling single packets are the 
Peter Pepper and Caribbean Red Habanero. Customers seldom purchase Guajillo.
