White FlashWhite Flash is a more re� ned Joi Choi. This full-size pac choi has stems that are more upright and heads that are less open compared to standard pac choi, making it easier to handle and less prone to breakage. A Johnny’s Exclusive.

SunpeachSunpeach, sister variety to Sun Gold, is not as tangy and acidic as its famous orange relative but is very sweet with ex-cellent � avor. Deep pink, shiny cherries are borne on long trusses. It has a vigorous, healthy, high-yielding plant. Resistance to leaf mold helps it stay healthy in high tun-nels. Resistant to cracking. Indeterminate.

Salanova® Lettuce SeriesA lettuce innovation, Salanova® is a “one cut” lettuce. In our trials, yields are about twice that of direct-seeded baby leaf lettuce. Sala-nova® is grown as a head but sold as lettuce mix. Johnny’s offers a full range of varieties including butterhead, oakleaf, and frisee types. This “one-cut” lettuce represents a new level of achievement in salad mix.

Lunchbox Pepper Series This colorful lunchbox snack pepper series is remarkably sweet. The bold red, yellow, and orange organic peppers are intensely � avorful and can be displayed separately or mixed at market. The lunch-box snack peppers are an immediate hit in salads and as a snack. They have tall strong plants. Bred by Johnny’s.

OpheliaOphelia is a heavy-yielding, dark-purple, Indian type eggplant. The round to egg-shaped fruits average 2½ to 3 inches long by 1¾ to 2¼ inches in diameter, and are sometimes produced in clusters of up to 3. The sturdy plants have a compact growth habit with few spines, and are adaptable for both � eld and container.

PozzanoPozzano has very high, early yields of 4- to 5-ounce tomatoes with the classic San Marzano shape. It does well in the � eld, but really shines in greenhouses and hoophouses. Blunt-tipped fruits have high solids and good � avor that improves when cooked. High resistance to blossom end rot. Indeterminate. A Johnny’s Exclusive.

Excelsior OGExcelsior cucumber is a high-yielding, dark-green, American pickling type for greenhouse production. The blocky, nicely proportioned, 4- to-5-inch fruits have excellent � avor. Vigorous, balanced plants with consistent fruit setting make for a long harvest season. Parthenocarpic and gynoecious.

Estamino OGThis strong, vigorous rootstock puts a higher proportion of energy into fruit than Maxifort or Colosus, which may be more vegetative. It is especially useful for short-term crops of large-fruited toma-toes, heirlooms, small-fruited varieties, and other scions that have high levels of vigor. It has broad disease resistance.

AvalancheAvalanche is a fancy, dark-green snow pea for summer harvest. Pods are typically harvested at 3¾ to 4 inches but may be harvested at 2½ inches for extra fancy snow peas. The vines average 36 inches and are of the semi-a� la type, which produces more tendrils than typical peas. The tendrils make excellent garnishes.
