Vegetable Transplants I Grow for Market

Poinsett 76 / CUCUMBER 

70 days.  An excellent slicing type that averages 8½ inches long by 2½ inches in diameter when mature. The flesh is crisp, white and tender. The best open pollinated variety for the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic coastal areas as a disease-resistant main crop garden variety.

 

Black King / Eggplant

79 days F-1 hybrid. A vigorous grower and high yielder suitable for the home garden. Its 7" shiny bulging oval fruits are resistant to excess heat and are very tasty.

New Ace /Sweet Red Pepper

 60 days F-1 hybrid. A cinch to grow. Resists blossom drop even in adverse weather so that almost every flower produces. Fruits thin-walled, not blocky, turn red early, good for the home garden.

Fordhook / Zucchini 

57 days F-1 hybrid. Fordhook Zucchini has cylindrical, smooth, dark green, straight to slightly curves fruits with creamy white, tender flesh. The space saving bush-like plants are vigorous and the fruits are best when 6-8" long. 

Pic-n-Pic / Summer Squash 

50 days F-1 hybrid. It's extremely productive and best picked when 4-6" long. Proven tops for performance, flavor and wide adaptability.
