I can take a stab at answering that one Ed.

White Flower/Shepherds have pretty much discontinued most of their chile
pepper line, chilepeno being part of it.  I used to do a bit of business
with them on the wholesale side but they (corporate office) told me they
were ending that side of things.  They gave me permission to contact the
wholesale supplier of the seed, who was somewhere in Cananda.  I left
many, MANY messages with him asking to speak but was ignored.  I tried
calling numerous times.

I'd had a little bit of the seed left so I put the commercial greenhouse
to work 'brown bagging' a bunch for me.  You are correct- they produced
MONSTER japs & that meant money to me as it saved quite a bit on the
picking labor.  

If you need some, all you need do is come to the open fields :-)  That
is the 'mutant jalapeno' that I talk about planting since I can't use
the name 'chilepeno'.
