Seed is available both treated or untreated.

Cinnamon Girl PMR
This pumpkin is a beautiful ornamental with excellent eating quality. Its short vines produce three to four fruits per plant, averaging 3 to 6 pounds, with 24 to 30 inches between plants. The dark-orange color and strong handles make it great for decorations, but it really shines when baked into a sweet, smooth pie filling. It has moderate resistance to powdery mildew.

Clementine
This is a unique, orange cocktail-sized tomato. Clementine's small, uniform, oval-round fruit average 2 ounces. Plants produce high yields with excellent, sweet-tart flavor. Clementine is an orange complement to Mountain Magic with a beautiful tangerine color. This organic variety can be picked to ripen when its shoulders are green. It resists cracking and is indeterminate.

Eleonora
Basil Eleonora has slightly cupped to flat, 3-inch leaves. The leaf shape and more open habit make it less susceptible to basil downy mildew pressure than typical pesto types. The crop environment should still be managed to reduce conditions favorable to this disease. Eleonora is slighty spicier than traditional pesto basils.

Greenhouse Eggplants
Angela, a striped Italian type, and Jaylo, a black Italian type, are both high yielding and have the vigor to make it through a long season under greenhouse conditions. Their beautiful, glossy fruits have excellent flavor. Both are typically harvested at the half-pound baby size, but Jaylo’s fruits are firm enough to be harvested as a quarter-pound mini eggplant.

Greenhouse Pepper Trios
Red, orange, and yellow blocky bell peppers are for heated greenhouse production. Felicitas, Orangela, and Bentley are best suited to high-tech greenhouses and lower-tech houses in areas with mild weather. Sprinter, Sympathy, and Moonset are more vegetative peppers for less optimized environments. All produce extra-large fruits with excellent flavor.

Hybrid Heirloom Tomatoes
The soft flesh of Margold and Marnero has excellent, sweet flavor and great texture, preserving the look and flavor of heirlooms, while improving upon disease resistance. Kakao’s flesh is soft with a savory flavor. Marmande is a hybrid version with improved disease resistance and vigor. All perform well in protected culture and are indeterminate.

Kalettes were developed through traditional breeding methods by crossing kale and Brussels sprouts. Just like Brussels sprouts, the plants are tall and produce crops of florets on their stalks with great taste and appearance. Autumn Star is ready for early-season harvest, Mistletoe for mid-season harvest, and Snowdrop for late-season harvest.
