VEGETABLES

Cucumbers

Bush Champion

  No room for vines? Bush types take one-third the space, so they're   great for containers and raised beds. You won't believe the large   number of crisp, bright green slicers you'll get from these pint-sized   plants. Proven top quality for productivity, flavor and

  wide adaptability.

Sweet Burpless

This is the highest yielding burpless cucumber we've found yet. The attractive, 10" cucumbers are refreshing and mild. Sweet Burpless is very productive because it makes huge numbers of female flowers. The vines are resistant to almost every disease.

Pickalot

  Pickalot cucumbers spread only 4 ft. (1.2 m), start bearing   early and continue all summer. The blocky green picklers are 5   in. (12 cm) long and 2 in. (5 cm) across at maturity. Tolerant to   powdery mildew and great for attracting butterflies, Pickalots   can be harvested and used at any size.

Lemon Cuke

Eggplant

Burpee Hybrid

  Burpee Hybrid eggplants are as easy to grow as peppers, but   thrive in hotter weather. The semi-spreading, tall and vigorous   plants continuously produce many medium-sized, glossy   purple fruits. The eggplants themselves have excellent flavor   with smooth flesh and small seeds that are very easy

  to remove.

Purple Blaze

  Producing heavy yields on 18- to 20-in. (45 to 50-cm)   plants, Purple Blaze boasts a neon purple color on 4-in.   (10-cm) fruits with white streaks. These eggplants have a   tender, white interior resulting in excellent flavor

  for cooking.

  Days to Harvest: 55-60

Rosa Bianca Heirloom

  This plump, white and lavender streaked fruit, has   become something of a poster vegetable for the heirloom   gardener. But it is difficult to grow in cooler regions. 'Rosa   Bianca' is known for its incredible delicate, non-bitter   flavor.  Heat lover.

Okra

Cajun Delight

Recognized as an All-America Selections Winner for its outstanding taste and versatility, Cajun Delight is the

perfect okra for all of your cooking needs. Okra grows very quickly in warm temperatures, preferring well-fertilized or composted soil. After your okra produces flowers, pods will begin to grow. Harvest the pods when they are young because eventually they’ll get tough and inedible.

Squash

Burpee Golden Zucchini

  These bright, glossy golden fruits have a distinct zucchini   flavor. You can steam it, boil it, stuff it or bake it. Remember,   it can be sliced and frozen if you harvest more than expected.

Burpee Hybrid Zucchini

This zucchini is a vigorous grower with early and very large yields. Gardeners say it just won’t quit. Its medium-green, tender-skinned fruits grow on compact, bush-type plants. Pick Burpee Hybrid zucchinis when they’re about 6 to 8 in. (15 to 20 cm) long. A versatile vegetable, use zucchini

fresh in salads or for cooking or stuffing.

Bush Table Queen

  Perfect for large patio pots and small-space gardens, Bush   Table Queen is the best acorn squash for all of your recipes.   Plant your squash plants about two weeks after the final frost   date in your region, making sure to pick a spot that gets at   least six hours of sun each day. Keep acorn squash well   watered and harvest before it’s fully mature for the best taste   in pies, cooked with roasts, stuffed and as an ingredient in   many recipes.

Swiss Chard

Swiss Rainbow

Beautiful to look at and delicious to eat, stunning rainbow Swiss chard not only offers a dazzling visual effect, it delivers a lighter flavor compared to regular chard. The striking large green or bronze-green leaves have a chewy texture and a just-right taste. Actually like having two vegetables in one, the colorful pink, red, crimson, pink and white striped, bright gold, orange to pale orange, white, purple and mauve stalks are deliciously edible, too.
